Levero Coloring Shampoo
Levero Coloring Shampoo · 300ml
Applied like a dye.
9,850 reviews say it covers.
Both parts pumped into your palm, onto dry or towel-dried hair, five to ten minutes. Nothing animal-derived on the declaration, a Light Brown shade nothing else in our range has, and 9,850 Korean customer reviews behind it. Here is where it fits next to GDS, our best seller.
Why we brought it in
Korea reviewed it 9,850 times before we did.
We read the reviews before we stocked it. The strongest signal is that it behaves like a proper colour rather than a tinting shampoo — it covers, and it holds. Colour retained after five washes measured 85.48% in the same clinical set.

Both are permanent oxidative dyes with no PPD, both colour on the first wash and build with a second, both have gloves in the box, and both are $29.99. What separates them is the pack size, the shade range, the base and how you apply it — not which one is better.
Which one is for you
Two honest answers, not one.
Light brown hair, no animal-derived ingredients, or dry-hair application
Your hair is naturally lighter brown, you want nothing animal-derived on the label, or you would rather apply it to dry hair like a dye than lather it through wet hair in the shower. That is Levero — and the maker's lab figures on the current formula come with it.
Colour inside your usual wash
You want it lathered through wet hair in the shower you already take, in Black, Brown or Dark Brown, with an oil-rich base. That is GDS, our best seller. Same price, gloves in the box too.
If you have actually reacted to a hair dye, read this twice: neither shampoo contains PPD, but both colour with toluene-2,5-diamine, and people allergic to one very often react to the other. PPD-free is not allergy-free — patch test 48 hours before every use. The rest of what we would tell a friend about Levero: the pack says five minutes; give it up to ten for full cover, and no longer. It stains hands, hairline and tiles like any dye — the gloves are in the box for a reason. Apply to dry or towel-dried hair, not soaking wet. Expect the colour to build over two or three washes rather than land in one. And it tends to come out a shade deeper than the name suggests, so if you are between shades, size down.
