Our read
Why our pick wins
A basic-dye toning shampoo on Amorepacific's herbal Black Toning complex, with nitrophenol and basic dyes — no PPD, no peroxide. It also takes roughly 21 washes to build and gradually rinses back out. Ours lands on the first wash and stays; how completely it covers depends on how much grey you have.
