Herbatint Hair Color — 7N Blonde

Herbatint 7N Blonde is an ammonia-free permanent hair color gel in a natural medium blonde shade. Part of the N, or Natural, series, it offers balanced, even color and gray coverage without the darker depth of 6N or the lighter appearance of 8N.

A medium blonde between 6N and 8N

Compare 6N Dark Blonde if you want a deeper shade, or 8N Light Blonde if you are considering a lighter blonde. The number indicates shade depth, while N identifies the Natural series. It does not mean the coloring formula is entirely natural.

Choose your starting shade by looking at the natural regrowth rather than previously colored lengths. Your existing color, earlier treatments and hair porosity affect the result, so a shade name alone cannot predict your finished color. A strand test lets you preview the color on your own hair.

Natural-series coverage for gray hair

Herbatint includes 7N in its 1N–8N Natural-series range for full gray coverage. Follow the manufacturer's shade-selection and application instructions for your proportion of gray hair, rather than assuming all blonde shades offer the same coverage.

The lighter 9N and 10N shades have different coverage guidance, particularly when gray hair is more prominent. Browse the Herbatint collection to compare the complete shade codes before choosing a replacement or a different tone.

Mixing and applying permanent hair color

Mix equal parts color and developer in a plastic or glass container, not metal, until the mixture has a gel-like consistency. Apply to dry, unwashed hair as directed. Herbatint specifies a standard 40-minute processing time; follow the instructions in your package for quantities, regrowth applications, rinsing and conditioning.

The Herbatint Hair Color Application Kit provides reusable coloring tools and is separate from the dye. Protect clothing and wear gloves as directed. Only unmixed color and developer can be retained for later applications under the manufacturer's storage guidance; do not store prepared mixture.

Sensitivity testing and previously treated hair

Perform the manufacturer's sensitivity test 48 hours before every use, including repeat applications. A strand test checks the color result and does not replace the skin sensitivity test. Ammonia-free does not mean allergy-free, and a test cannot guarantee that a future allergic reaction will not occur.

Previously colored or bleached hair may respond differently from untreated roots. Follow Herbatint's guidance for treated hair and read the current ingredient list, package warnings and directions before applying. Do not assume that choosing a lighter shade will remove existing permanent color.
