What shade is 5GA Espresso?

5GA is a level-5 golden ash brown, a dark brown with cool ash and a hint of gold. It is designed to read as a rich espresso rather than a warm chestnut.

Will it cover gray hair?

It is a permanent color, so it is formulated to cover gray. Full gray coverage usually needs the developer mixed and timed as the kit directs.

Can I use it on previously colored hair?

Permanent color can go over earlier permanent color, but ash tones layered on old dye can turn muddy. A strand test first is the safe move.

How is it different from drugstore box dye?

The main differences are the prestige-brand positioning and the ash-leaning shade range. The chemistry is still permanent dye, so aftercare and application care matter as much.

A permanent color kit typically pairs the colorant with a developer and includes gloves and instructions. Check the pack for the exact contents before you start.

How long does the color last?

Permanent color stays until it grows out or fades, typically several weeks to a few months. Ash tones tend to fade faster, so color-safe washing helps.
