Salon Colour, Made Simple
Lover’s Hair Salon Colouring Shampoo turns at-home colour into a quick, mess-free step. Instead of bowls and brushes, you mix the colouring shampoo with its developer and massage it through by hand — like washing your hair — for rich, even results and fast grey coverage. The ammonia-free formula is enriched with henna, hydrolysed silk, panax ginseng and four nourishing oils to help hair feel soft and look naturally shiny.
The #2 Dark Brown Shade
#2 Dark Brown is a deep, warm brown that covers grey while staying softer and more natural-looking than a true black. It suits dark-brown hair and anyone who wants depth without going jet black.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does #2 Dark Brown look like?
A rich, natural dark brown — noticeably softer than black, ideal for grey coverage on dark-brown hair.
Do I really need a patch test?
Yes — always. A 48-hour skin allergy test is required before every application, even if you have used hair colour before, because the formula contains PPD and related dyes that can cause serious allergic reactions in some people.
How long does it take?
Most people leave it on for about 7–10 minutes for grey coverage. Always follow the timing on the enclosed instructions and don’t exceed it.
Is the colour permanent?
Yes. It’s an oxidative (permanent) colour, so it won’t simply wash out — new growth will show over time and can be touched up with the same kit.
Does it really apply like a shampoo?
Yes. Once mixed, you massage it through by hand like a shampoo — no bowls, brushes or trays — which makes it quick and easy for at-home root touch-ups.
Can I use it after a perm or black henna tattoo?
Do not use it on hair treated with a perm, relaxer or thioglycolate in the past three months, and never use it if you’ve reacted to a hair colourant or a black henna temporary tattoo. Check the full cautions on the pack.
Important Safety Information
Contains phenylenediamines (PPD) and related oxidative dyes. Hair colourants can cause severe allergic reactions. A 48-hour skin allergy (patch) test is required before every application, even if you have coloured your hair before. This product is not intended for persons under 16. Do not use to colour eyebrows or eyelashes — doing so may cause blindness. Do not use if you have ever had a reaction to a hair colourant or to a black henna temporary tattoo, or if your scalp is irritated or broken. Wear the gloves supplied, keep away from the eyes and rinse immediately with water if product enters the eyes. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if irritation occurs. Not for hair treated with a perm, relaxer or thioglycolate within the past three months. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight.
