When it comes to natural hair color, few shades strike the perfect balance of warmth and sophistication quite like Chestnut Medium Brown. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a full transformation, this rich, earthy shade offers the perfect in-between—not too light, not too dark. At Discovery Naturals, we believe that natural beauty should come without compromise. That’s why our Chestnut Medium Brown Hair Dye is plant-based, chemical-free, and designed to nourish your hair as it colors.

- Complements both warm and cool undertones
- Adds dimension to dull or faded hair
- Perfect for men and women
- Great for first-time dyers wanting a subtle change
If you're transitioning from chemical dyes, Chestnut Medium Brown Hair Dye is a great natural alternative that provides healthy color without harsh side effects.

What Makes Discovery Naturals’ Hair Color Different?
Unlike traditional box dyes, our Chestnut Medium Brown is made from plant-based ingredients like henna and other herbs. This means:
- No Ammonia
- No Parabens
- No PPD (a common allergen in synthetic dyes)
- No Artificial Fragrance or Preservatives
Instead, our dye works by gently coating the hair strand, locking in moisture, and improving hair health over time.
