📋 Product Description
The Lover’s Hair Salon Colouring Shampoo #3 Dark Brown is the deepest shade in the range, formulated with an extended set of oxidative dye intermediates to deliver maximum dark brown colour depth and intensity. Where the lighter shades rely on three to four dye components, Shade #3 adds Toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate — a further oxidative dye base that, combined with PPD, p-Aminophenol, Resorcinol, and 4-Amino-2-hydroxytoluene, creates a richer, more saturated dark brown result than the mid-range shades.
p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) and Toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate together form the primary colour base; p-Aminophenol and 4-Amino-2-hydroxytoluene act as warm-tone couplers contributing depth and dimensional warmth; Resorcinol modifies the overall colour tone for richness and complexity. Ethanolamine opens the hair cuticle for dye penetration, Sodium sulfite protects colour stability, and Thioglycolic acid supports formula stability as a reducing agent.
The conditioning botanical layer brings Henna (Lawsonia inermis) leaf extract — present both as a standalone extract and within a Henna/Hydrogenated Lecithin/Caprylic-Capric Triglyceride complex — together with Hydrolyzed Silk, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Aloe barbadensis leaf extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Centaurea cyanus flower water, and Lavandula angustifolia flower water, and a four-oil blend of Avocado, Jojoba, Camellia Japonica Seed, and Sweet Almond oils. These support the appearance of hair condition and softness throughout the colour process.
The Korean herbal complex — Vitex trifolia fruit, Angelica gigas Root, Angelica dahurica Root, Rheum undulatum Root/Stalk/Stem, and Eclipta prostrata — alongside Hydrogenated Lecithin and Cocoyl glutamic acid, gives this formula a distinctly premium, botanically grounded character rooted in Korean traditional hair care.
📝 Product Specifications
🌱 Key Ingredients
p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) — Colouring Shampoo
The primary oxidative dye intermediate responsible for permanent colour deposition in the hair shaft. Standard active in professional and at-home permanent hair colour products. PPD is a known sensitiser — a 48-hour patch test is mandatory before every use.
Toluene-2,5-diamine Sulfate — Colouring Shampoo
An additional oxidative dye base included specifically in this darker shade to provide the extra depth and colour intensity needed for a rich, saturated dark brown result. Together with PPD, it forms a stronger primary colour base than the lighter shades in the range. Also a known sensitiser — covered by the mandatory patch test requirement.
Resorcinol & 4-Amino-2-hydroxytoluene — Colouring Shampoo
Colour modifiers contributing depth, complexity, and dimensional warmth to the dark brown result. Resorcinol adds tonal richness; 4-Amino-2-hydroxytoluene contributes warm undertones. Both are known sensitisers covered by the mandatory patch test requirement.
Henna (Lawsonia inermis) Leaf Extract — Colouring Shampoo
Present twice in the formula — as a standalone extract and within a Henna/Hydrogenated Lecithin complex — contributing a deeply traditional botanical dimension and conditioning character to the colour formula.
Hydrolyzed Silk & Hydrolyzed Soy Protein — Colouring Shampoo
Protein-based conditioning agents that support the appearance of hair condition and shine during and after the colouring process, helping reduce the appearance of damage associated with chemical colouring.
Panax Ginseng Root Extract — Colouring Shampoo
Korean ginseng root extract adds a premium botanical dimension and an invigorating sensation during application, consistent with the Korean botanical character of the Lover’s Hair Salon range.
4-Oil Botanical Blend — Colouring Shampoo
Avocado (Persea gratissima), Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis seed), Camellia Japonica Seed, and Sweet Almond (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) oils deliver lightweight emollient conditioning to support the appearance of hair softness and manageability after colouring.
Hydrogen Peroxide — Developer
The oxidising agent that activates the dye intermediates in the Colouring Shampoo to develop permanent colour within the hair shaft. The Developer also contains Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride for conditioning and Hydroxyethylcellulose for texture and consistency.
⭐ Why Choose Lover’s Hair Salon Colouring Shampoo #3 Dark Brown?
1. Maximum Dark Brown Depth in the Range

Five active dye components — PPD, Toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate, p-Aminophenol, Resorcinol, and 4-Amino-2-hydroxytoluene — work together to create a complex, dimensioned dark brown result with depth, warmth, and richness that a single-dye formula cannot achieve.
3. Botanically Enriched Formula
Henna extract (present twice), Hydrolyzed Silk, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Panax Ginseng, Aloe vera, four botanical oils, two flower waters, and a Korean herbal complex — a genuinely botanical colouring experience well beyond a standard chemical colour kit.

💧 How to Use
- ● Step 1 — Mandatory 48-hour patch test (every application): Mix a small amount of Colouring Shampoo with a small amount of Developer. Apply to a small area of skin on the inner elbow or behind the ear. Leave uncovered for 30 minutes, then wipe off. Wait 48 hours and check the area. If any redness, itching, swelling, or irritation occurs, do not use this product and consult a physician.
- ● Step 2 — Prepare: Wear the gloves provided. Do not use on wet or freshly washed hair. Apply a barrier cream around the hairline, ears, and neck to prevent staining.
- ● Step 3 — Mix: Combine the Colouring Shampoo and Developer in the ratio specified on the product packaging. Mix thoroughly until an even consistency is achieved.
- ● Step 4 — Apply: Apply the mixed colour evenly through the hair from roots to ends, working quickly and thoroughly to ensure even coverage. Avoid contact with eyes, ears, and skin beyond the hairline.
- ● Step 5 — Develop: Leave on for the development time specified on the product packaging. Do not exceed the recommended time.
- ● Step 6 — Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Shampoo and condition the hair as normal after rinsing.
- ● Caution: For external use on scalp hair only. Do not use on eyebrows or eyelashes — risk of blindness. Avoid contact with eyes — if contact occurs, rinse immediately with water and seek medical attention if irritation persists. Not for use on persons under 16 years of age. Not for use on hair that has been relaxed with a thioglycolate product within the past 3 months. If you have previously reacted to hair colour or black henna tattoos, do not use this product. Keep out of reach of children. Contains Hydrogen peroxide — store away from heat and direct sunlight.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a 48-hour patch test required before every use?
This product contains p-Phenylenediamine (PPD), Toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate, and other oxidative dye intermediates that are known skin sensitisers. Sensitivity can develop over time, even in people who have used hair colour before without a reaction. A 48-hour patch test is mandatory before every application. If you react, do not use the product and consult a doctor.
What makes Shade #3 darker than the other shades?
Shade #3 includes Toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate as an additional oxidative dye base alongside PPD. This dual primary dye system delivers a richer, more saturated colour result than the lighter shades — making #3 the deepest, most intense brown in the Lover’s Hair Salon Colouring Shampoo range.
How does #3 Dark Brown compare to the other shades in the range?
#3 Dark Brown is the deepest shade — rich, intense dark brown with maximum coverage. #4 Mahogany Brown is slightly lighter with a reddish-burgundy warmth. #4.5 Chestnut Brown is a warm mid-brown with reddish-chestnut tones. #5 Brown is a medium neutral brown. If you want the deepest, most saturated dark result, #3 is the right choice.
Is this a permanent hair colour?
Yes. This is an oxidative (permanent) hair colourant. The colour develops permanently inside the hair shaft and will not wash out. It will fade gradually over time with repeated washing but cannot be removed by shampooing alone.
What does the Henna extract do in this product?
The Henna (Lawsonia inermis) leaf extract is included as a botanical conditioning ingredient — present twice in the formula for additional botanical depth. The permanent dark brown colour is delivered by the oxidative dye intermediates activated by the Developer, not by the Henna. Henna contributes a traditional botanical character and conditioning association to the formula.
Can I use this product if I have previously used black henna tattoos?
No — if you have ever had a black henna (PPD) temporary tattoo, you may have developed a sensitivity to PPD. Using this product could trigger a severe allergic reaction. Do not use this product if you have had a black henna tattoo, even if you did not react at the time.
Can I use this on eyebrows or eyelashes?
No. This product must not be used on eyebrows or eyelashes. Use near the eyes risks serious injury including blindness. It is formulated for scalp hair only.
Is this product suitable for under-16s?
No. This product is not intended for use by persons under the age of 16.
Is this product made in Korea?
Yes. This product is manufactured in Korea by Lover’s Hair Salon and distributed in Australia by First One Australia / Ausco Inc.
