5N Light Brown Hair Color

This MOEHAIR Hair Color 5N Series Coloring Cream comes with Keratin and a 20 Volume 6% Developer (32Oz) for At-Home Light Brown Permanent Hair Dyeing. Priced at $23, it yields amazing results.

This kit is really nice, it comes with everything you need and seems pretty high quality. Color is true to 5N and easy to use. I use 20v developer for pretty much everything so I like that it comes with that strength and has it clearly labeled, but I dont know what they mean by 6%. Otherwise great value and the gloves are actual gloves not those weird ones that dont fit well in store kits.

One shop for all! Nice combination for all your need for hair dyeing.Good price.

I ordered this permanent hair dye in the color 5N (Light Brown). It came with everything I needed to dye my hair, the color, the 20 Volume developer, nice gloves that didn't rip, a brush with a little bush and comb on either side that was so helpful with blending, and a black silicone collapsable mixing bowl that is thick and very well-made. I'm super impressed with the color and the entire set! Everything is really good quality. The 5N color is more of a medium brown and can be very dark brown if it's left on for a long time. I mixed the color and developer in a 1:1.5 mixture and only put in on the top 3-4" of my roots, just to get rid of these new grey hairs that are popping up and actually sticking up out of my hair, making them extremely noticeable. I've wanted to dye my hair for a few months but was tired of my usual hair dye. This dye smells nice and isn't as harsh as others I've used over the years. With the 20 Volume developer, it did sting my scalp a bit, and since I didn't want the color to go too dark, I rinsed it out after about 15-20 minutes. It came out beautifully with lots of dimension to the color and most importantly, it covered my greys and left my hair looking and feeling great! I will buy a couple more colors to do the length of my hair, which I basically balayage myself. I've been doing my own hair for decades and I highly recommend this color and this set!

First things first!
This is a great, professional quality hair color. I ordered it mainly looking to cover my early stage graying hair and I was able to achieve great results with that and used only about 1/3 of the cream and developer for my medium length (just below shoulder) hair so I have plenty still left for future touchups. I feel that the product was reasonably gentle on my hair, did not have an overly offensive smell, and the typical scalp burn though present was not nearly as intense as with other products I have tried. Now, here is where Moehair lost a star unfortunately.
1. Instructions are absolutely terrible. Printed in the tiniest font, instructions are basically nonexistent, lacking clarity, details, and some very key points. After struggling for about 20-30 minutes and googling a bit, I had to make some decisions and just go for it (see below what worked for me).
2. One big dilemma was whether to mix color and developer by volume or weight. Since no measuring guidelines or tools were included in the package I decided to go with weight and used my kitchen scale.
3. Next dilemma is how much of the color mix to create. There are no instructions of how much product one would require for the various hair lengths.
4. There is no color swatch whatsoever, so it is a total guessing game as far as what exactly your original hair color is what results you would expect based off that using 5N.
Thankfully I was mainly looking to cover grays and knew that starting out with medium brown I would remain somewhere on the brown spectrum, while exactly what shade of brown did not matter a whole lot. Based on my interpretation of instructions I expected to go a shade lighter, so from medium brown to light brown. Instead to my surprise I kind of shifted slightly to darker brown. Interestingly, my color result visually does match what I am seeing on their Amazon listing photo, except they call it "light brown" while most people, myself included, would consider it "dark brown" I am pretty sure. Thankfully, I did achieve absolutely perfect gray hair coverage.
RECIPE: Here is was worked for me. To color my medium length, early stage graying, medium brown hair to 5N light brown (their color reference) I zeroed out the included cup on my digital kitchen scale, added 30ml cream, zeroed out and added 45ml developer. Mixed thoroughly and applied to hair. Kept for 30 minutes, then rinsed. I now have 2/3 of my unmixed cream and developer still available for future touchups, making this bundle quite economically priced. I am very pleased overall, just really wish the instructions were better. I think this coloring kit could be 5 stars in the hands of an experienced professional who knows color swatches by heart and colors people's hair day and night. 4 stars for a really flexible non-professional person like myself looking to mostly just cover grays. If you are a non-professional user looking for very particular shades and results - be prepared for a guessing game and a possible disappointment, likely 3 stars or less.
