## Description

John Frieda Precision Foam hair dye delivers flawless color through a non-drip (no mess!) application process. This medium chestnut brown color is a fade-resistant, salon-quality hair color that gives you deep color saturation, vibrant results. 5NBG is a medium brown shade with soft gold tones that also offers 100% grey coverage. For optimal results, use this hair color on dark blonde to deep brown hair. On mostly grey hair, the color will appear lighter than the hair color shown on the results swatch. On red hair, your color results will be medium reddish brown. How does it work? John Frieda Precision Foam hair color is a gradual hair color foam with a non-drip foam formula that penetrates your strands for deep color saturation. It spreads easily into roots and hard-to-reach areas for complete coverage without patchiness. Use our nourishing after-color conditioner to seal in your color for long-lasting, tonal richness with minimal post-coloring mess. This hair coloring kit includes everything you need for fast and easy coloring, including colorant, developer, after-color conditioner, foamer, gloves and easy to read instructions. This foam hair color kit will give you the vibrant chestnut brown with gold tones you always wanted while nourishing and moisturizing your hair. Satisfaction Guarantee. Limitations may apply.

Review: Finally!! A Dark Brown That Doesn’t Turn Black! - I have fine, 2B/2C, low-porosity hair that’s collarbone length (level 7 at the roots, with some leftover dye from a few months back). I used John Frieda Precision Foam Colour in Dark Cool Espresso Brown, and here’s the breakdown: Pros: •The foam texture is a game-changer—super easy to apply, way less messy than the typical creams. •The color is exactly as described. No accidental “oops, it’s basically black now” situation (looking at you, every other dark brown dye). •The conditioner is actually a travel-size tube instead of the sad little aluminum packet most brands give you. Cons: •My color isn’t perfectly even, but that’s on me for being lazy and skipping proper sectioning. Don’t be me; do the sections. Overall: Highly recommend! I only needed one box (with a bit left over), the color is rich and true-to-tone, and I’ll definitely be repurchasing. Bonus points for making my hair feel soft and shiny after. I’ll attach photos below: Before, After, and Color in Natural Light so you can see the results for yourself.
Review: Great color! - Ive always boxed dyed my hair at home and this brand is by far the most accurate and dependable color for me. For context I have very porous medium brown hair with a red undertone and spots of gray. My hair is mid-long length at about armpit length. I use 2 boxes and still have plenty left after saturating my hair. My hair always turns out to be a dark brown color- not black, which is hard to accomplish with a lot of dark brown hair colors. Not that I care to color my gray strands, it does accomplish this. I just try to have more uniform colored hair due to the undertones I naturally have. The dye itself is very easy to work with and a lot less messy than traditional box dye due to the foam. Some tips I would recommend are to place vaseline or petroleum jelly around your hair line, neck being your ear, around your ear tips, etc to avoid getting dye on your skin. This is inevitable with every hair dye if you are pressed on making sure your roots and edges are dyed. After you finish the dye and you have to wait, you can use some type of wipe, wash cloth, etc to wipe where the dye/vaseline are and it comes right off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does not cause a reaction to PPD sensitivity.
*by M***H on July 27, 2024*

Very much allergic to PPD in hair dye, this has not caused any reaction. The foam is easy to apply. Definitely make sure it’s on thick! Seems to wash out a little faster than other box kits I’ve used, but a great product for covering grays and ease of application!
