Sale price  $27.55 Regular price  $43.49

Grey coverage, worked in like a shampoo — Black.

Levero is a coloring shampoo made for grey at the roots and temples. Lather through wet hair, leave it on, then rinse — tone builds with regular use, while a brewer's-yeast and botanical base keeps the wash gentle. Quietly, over a normal routine, rather than in one harsh session.

  • Wash-in grey coverage in a true black tone
  • Brewer's yeast + conditioning base
  • Skin low-irritation tested (per the brand's Intertek report)
  • All scalp & hair types · 300ml · made in Korea

How to use: Apply to wet hair like shampoo, focus on the greyest areas, leave on, then rinse with lukewarm water. Use 2–3 times in a row for first color, then periodically to maintain.

Read before you buy: This is a grey-coverage color product. We publish the complete, risk-rated ingredient list on this page — always patch test 48 hours before first use.

Why ours winsThe gentlest screen of the three — it skips PPD and resorcinol. But it's a gradual reducer: coverage builds over weeks and fades if you stop. Ours is a true one-wash full-gray cover.

What that benchmark led us to decide

Why we picked it
Gray coverage in one shampoo step
Color and wash combined on a brewer's-yeast-conditioned, ammonia-free base — no separate developer ritual.
Ammonia-free with conditioning agents
Ethanolamine instead of ammonia, plus centella, dimethicone and polyquats to smooth and cushion after coloring.
Quick, beginner-friendly touch-ups
Built for at-home root refreshes between salon visits — lather, wait, rinse.
Worth knowing
Multiple oxidative-dye allergens (PPD, resorcinol, toluene-2,5-diamine)
Three of the most common, most sensitizing dye actives are all present. A 48-hour patch test before every use is mandatory.
Contains phenacetin (a flagged peroxide stabilizer)
We rate this high-risk and won't hide it — it's a big reason this scores 7.0. If you want to avoid it entirely, this isn't your pick.
Firm surfactants + peroxide + mineral oil
A strong-cleansing permanent oxidative system — effective for coverage, but not a low-tox formula.
Our take

We'll be straight with you: this scores 7.0 and it's the most flagged formula on our shelf. We still stock it because the gray coverage is genuinely fast and convenient, the base is ammonia-free and brewer's-yeast-conditioned, and we'd rather sell it with every concern spelled out than pretend an at-home oxidative dye is something it isn't. If convenience is your priority and you patch-test religiously, it delivers — if you're ingredient-cautious, reach for GDS or a non-oxidative option instead.

Honest note — permanent oxidative hair dye. Patch-test 48 hours before each use; keep away from eyes, brows and lashes.
At-home grey coverage · Black

Grey, covered in the wash.

Levero is a coloring shampoo for grey at the roots and temples. Lather through wet hair, leave it on, then rinse — the black tone builds with regular use while a brewer's-yeast and botanical base keeps the wash gentle. A quiet, repeatable routine instead of a salon afternoon.

The problem

Grey shows first at the roots

Grey usually arrives at the temples and parting before anywhere else — the spots that read first in the mirror. Box dye and salon visits mean gloves, mixing, timing and a free afternoon.

Roots greying faster than you can book a salon Box dye feels like too much for a quick touch-up You want soft, lived-in tone — not flat block color Gloves, mess and dye on skin and sink
Why it works

Color, the easy way

A two-agent oxidative color — a color base plus a developer that sets the tone into the strand — applied like a shampoo, so the whole thing happens in the shower.

01

Colors as you lather

Worked through wet hair like shampoo, it deposits the black tone evenly — with extra payoff where grey shows most, around the hairline and parting.

02

Brewer's yeast + botanicals

A conditioning base with brewer's yeast, Centella and panthenol-style agents helps keep the cuticle smooth and hair soft through the color process.

03

Low effort

No bowl, no sectioning. Lather, wait, rinse. If it gets on skin or surfaces, rinse promptly with soap and water.

Levero Coloring Shampoo Black 300ml
Made for

Touch-ups, not whole afternoons

Root and temple touch-ups between salon colors Beards and facial hair — same wash-in process Anyone after natural, grown-out tone over block color Routines that want to skip the harsher box-dye steps
How to use

Three steps

Step 01

Wet & apply

Wet hair, pump an even amount into your hands, and work it through like a regular shampoo — focus on the roots and greyest areas.

Step 02

Leave on

Leave it on so the color can develop, then check your tone. For first-time color, use 2–3 washes in a row, then periodically to maintain.

Step 03

Rinse

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. No separate conditioner needed.

Tip: rinse on time. If the lather sits too long it can leave residue on hands or around the sink — rinse promptly and there's no mess.

An honest note on the formula

Levero is an oxidative hair color — that's what makes the tone even and long-lasting. Depending on shade, the formula contains oxidative dyes such as PPD, toluene-2,5-diamine and resorcinol — common hair-dye allergens — and the developer contains hydrogen peroxide. We don't hide that behind the label.

Always do a 48-hour patch test before your first use, and skip it if you've ever reacted to a hair dye. The complete, risk-rated ingredient list — every ingredient in both agents — is published right below this story.

Oxidative dye Ammonia-free Paraben-free Skin low-irritation tested Patch test 48h
Good to know

Questions, answered

How do I use it?

Wet your hair, pump an appropriate amount into your hands, and apply evenly like shampoo. Leave it on to develop, then rinse with lukewarm water. For first color, use it 2–3 washes in a row, then periodically to keep the tone fresh.

How often should I use it?

Daily use is fine. When you need more coverage, use it 2–3 times in a row, then maintain on a regular cycle — that tends to be the most effective rhythm.

Is it safe for a sensitive scalp?

It's ammonia- and paraben-free and skin low-irritation tested (per the brand's report), but it is still an oxidative dye and sensitivities vary. Always do a 48-hour patch test first, and don't use it if you've previously reacted to hair dye.

Will it stain my hands or sink?

It's formulated to be low-mess. Keratin-rich nails or skin can pick up a little color, so rinse promptly; spills on tiles or the tub should be rinsed straight away rather than left to sit.

Can I use it on my beard?

Yes — it works on facial hair the same way. Keep it well clear of the eyes and rinse thoroughly.

Where does it ship from?

Made in Korea and ships worldwide. The full risk-rated ingredient list for both agents is on this page so you can read everything before you buy.
