Herbatint Hair Color — 10N Platinum Blonde

Herbatint 10N Platinum Blonde is a permanent hair color in the brand's N, or Natural, shade series. This light blonde option is for shoppers comparing platinum shades within the Herbatint range, with an ammonia-free coloring gel rather than a temporary root concealer.

10N Platinum Blonde in the Natural series

The 10N code identifies Platinum Blonde, distinct from Herbatint's 10C Platinum Ash Blonde. The N series is designed for a natural-looking color result; it should not be confused with an ash-toned shade simply because both names include platinum. Start by identifying your natural root color, not just the color of previously treated lengths.

Lightening limits and gray-coverage considerations

Herbatint states that its permanent coloring gel can lighten natural, untreated hair by up to two shades. Choosing 10N does not mean dark or previously colored hair will automatically become platinum blonde.

The manufacturer also distinguishes shades 9N and 10N from Natural-series shades 1–8: their lower pigment concentration may provide less coverage when a medium to high proportion of hair is gray. Herbatint recommends combining 10N with 8N for a high percentage of gray hair. Consult its shade guidance and your package instructions before mixing, rather than expecting complete gray coverage from 10N alone.

Mixing and application

For the permanent gel, Herbatint directs users to mix equal parts color and developer in a nonmetal bowl, then apply to dry, unwashed hair starting at the roots. Its published processing time is 40 minutes. Follow the instructions supplied with your specific package for quantities, regrowth application, rinsing and conditioning.

Prepare your supplies before mixing; the Herbatint Hair Color Application Kit is a separate accessory option. Do not assume an accessory kit contains hair color.

Sensitivity testing and choosing your shade

Perform the manufacturer's sensitivity test 48 hours before each use, even if you have used hair color before. Ammonia-free does not mean allergy-free, and a sensitivity test cannot guarantee that a future allergic reaction will not occur. Read and follow all package warnings and the current ingredient list before use.
