Gentle Grey Coverage Hair Dye | INOCHROMA

Gentle Grey Coverage for Natural-Looking Hair

INOCHROMA gives you natural-looking grey coverage without the sting or strong odor. Our ready-to-use formula blends first greys and covers roots evenly, so hair feels soft—not coated. It’s PPD-free and ammonia-free, designed for sensitive scalps and everyday routines. Do a quick root touch-up or a full refresh at home and keep your shade consistent between salon visits.

Why grey shows differently & how to blend

  • Texture & porosity: Grey/white strands are often coarser and less porous, so dye has a harder time penetrating.
  • Light reflection: With little or no natural pigment, greys reflect more light and look brighter—small regrowth looks “high-contrast.”
  • Blending strategy: Use thin sections, focus color on roots, and comb through the last 5–10 minutes to soften the line. For a softer look, pick natural/neutral tones (N/NN) rather than ultra-ash.

Root touch-up vs. full coverage

  • Root touch-up: Best every 3–4 weeks to hide regrowth. Apply only to new growth; pull through lengths briefly at the end if needed. Saves time and keeps ends glossy.
  • Full coverage: Do every 4–6 weeks or when overall tone fades. Useful after a big shade change or if greys are scattered throughout lengths.

Our formula: no PPD, no ammonia, low-odor

  • PPD-free: Avoids a common dye allergen while maintaining natural-looking grey coverage.
  • Ammonia-free, low-odor: Designed for comfort without harsh fumes.
  • Conditioning focus: Leaves hair soft and touchable rather than coated. (Always review the ingredient list and patch test 48h before use.)

Step-by-step: cover grey roots at home

  • Patch test 48h in advance.
  • Start with dry hair. Protect hairline with a thin barrier cream; wear gloves.
  • Section finely (¼-inch / 0.5–1 cm).
  • Apply to visible roots first, fully saturating stubborn areas (temples/part).
  • Process for the leaflet’s recommended time (typically 20–30 min).
  • For a seamless blend, comb color through the lengths for the last 5–10 min.
  • Rinse until clear, then condition. Style as usual.

Tips for first greys

  • Choose one shade close to your natural (neutral or slightly warm) to avoid banding.
  • Try blending, not masking: focus on roots and comb through rather than loading the lengths.
  • Keep timing conservative at first; you can extend on later applications if needed.
  • Maintain with color-safe shampoo, cooler water, and UV protection.

Trusted by sensitive scalps

  • PPD-free, ammonia-free, low-odor design aims for comfort during application.
  • Clear patch-test guidance and gentle routines help minimize irritation triggers.
  • Real-user feedback highlights soft feel and natural-looking coverage suitable for everyday wear. (Sensitivity varies—stop use if irritation occurs.)
