Dark brown herbal hair color: intensity and shine with plants
Dark brown in herbal hair color: two possible shades
Tresse Paris offers two dark brown shades:
- Espresso — deep brown with warm red highlights, dark mahogany effect
- Intense Black — very dark brown with cool tones, the most covering in the range
Both are COSMOS Organic certified and made in France.
Covering grey hair with dark plant-based brown
With the 2-step Base+Colour method, even very grey hair is covered evenly. The Base pre-pigments white areas, then the Colour deposits dark pigments.
Result by your starting base
Dark brown plays on two shades (Espresso or Intense Black); the result depends on your base and the intensity wanted.
| Your base | Expected result |
|---|---|
| Light brown to brown | Warm, deep dark brown |
| Dark brown | Intensification, sustained shine |
| Very dark base | Depth and reflects, no lightening |
| Grey/white hair | Covering dark brown — two-step advised |
Frequently asked questions
Espresso or Intense Black for a dark brown?
Espresso gives a warm brown with red reflects; Intense Black, a cooler, denser brown-black. The choice depends on the warmth you want.
Does plant-based dark brown look flat?
No: unlike a chemical colour, it keeps nuance and shine, for a living brown that catches the light.
Do I need two steps on grey hair?
Yes, on a high proportion of grey the two-step Base+Colour method avoids reflects that are too light and ensures even coverage.
