This month we’re going to take a closer look at one of our newest shades – the 5GC Deep Cinnamon Chestnut, part of our ‘Deep’ collection of Permanent Hair Colour Gels. Only launched in February this year, these 4 intense, rich and radiant new shades are already proving hugely popular on our website!

What kind of colour is it?

Historically, our mid-brown shades have always been our most popular, which is why we extended the offering by adding the 4 new ‘Deep’ shades. As a ‘5’ the 5GC Deep Cinnamon Chestnut is a true mid-brown and is half way along our colour scale. The ‘GC’ means that there is a blend of both gold and copper tones added, so it could be considered a richer, deeper version of the 5G. As with any hair colour however, the final colour result will always depend on the colour of the hair to which it is applied (the thickness and overall condition too), so a colour strand test before use will demonstrate the exact shade of brown you’ll get.

Can anybody wear this colour?

Pretty much! Like most mid-brown tones, the colour is pretty universally flattering and thanks to the added warmth of the gold and copper tones, it can help soften skin tones that may have lost a little of their natural complexion over the years. It equally works well with olive skin tones too! Just bear in mind your base shade – if you are naturally darker than our 3N Dark Chestnut Brown, the 5GC won’t be able to lighten your hair enough. Anything lighter is fine but bear in mind if you are darkening your hair, creep and go – it’s much easier to go darker in stages than it is to try and correct a colour that has gone too dark on the first attempt!
