Now, let’s get to know each colour a little better…

Cherry Red

First, a true cherry red tone has been at the top of our community’s wishlist for a while. We’re so excited to finally bring it to life, and we’re sure it was worth the wait.

Delivering a jewel-toned blend of rich, indulgent red and dimensional purple undertones, our Cherry Red takes this ever-popular shade to a whole new level.

Coral Crush

Coral reefs are some of nature’s most captivating landmarks, bursting with vibrant colour, which is exactly what we sought to capture in our newest pink hair colour.

Coral Crush is a striking, sun-soaked collision of warm pink and orange hues, resulting in a look with radiant, tropical heat in every strand.

Cosmic Purple

When we produced this vivid, intense shade of purple, our first thought was that it looked “out of this world”... and so Cosmic Purple was born.

A true electric purple that stands out from the crowd, Cosmic Purple guarantees to give hair a breathtaking celestial glow.

Navy Blue

From deep space to the deep seas – Navy Blue represents our darkest, most mysterious blue hair dye to date.

With ink-like qualities that add remarkable depth and dimension, Navy Blue’s intensity is perfect for those who like their colour to make waves.

Honey Quartz

For those who were asking when we'd be bringing blonde to our Rich Naturals range, your wait is finally over. 

First is Honey Quartz, which gives hair golden, honey-like hues that are both natural-looking yet distinctive – a shade full of irresistible, sun-drenched shine.

Champagne Topaz

Prefer a softer, subtler blonde? Then raise your glass for Champagne Topaz, the second of our brand-new blonde shades.

A delicate, sun-kissed champagne blonde with rich golden undertones, Champagne Topaz brings natural sparkle and effortless elegance to your hair.
