Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit — 3.5NNN Ravenna Brown (Darkest Brown-Black), 100% Gray Coverage & Ammonia-Free

Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit in 3.5NNN Ravenna Brown is a salon-grade permanent color designed to deliver complete coverage on resistant grays while respecting hair health.

This at-home kit uses Madison Reed’s Smart 8-Free approach — a permanent formula without ammonia, PPD, parabens, phthalates, SLS, resorcinol, gluten, or titanium dioxide — and is enriched with keratin, argan oil, and ginseng root extract to help color and condition simultaneously. The shade 3.5NNN (Ravenna Brown) is a very deep neutral brown leaning toward near-black, formulated with extra pigment to take on stubborn, mostly-gray hair and long-lasting root touch-ups.

Will this color fully cover my resistant gray roots?

Yes — the Knockout Collection's extra-pigment formula is engineered specifically for hard-to-cover grays. Expect full coverage when applied according to instructions, particularly on roots and areas with heavy gray concentration.

• Formulated with boosted pigments for 100% gray coverage on resistant hair.
• Works best when applied within two shades of your natural color.
• Includes a conditioning activator to help deposit and set pigment.

How gentle is the formula compared with traditional box dyes?

This permanent color avoids several common harsh ingredients while still providing salon-strength results. It’s free from ammonia and PPD and contains restorative ingredients intended to reduce dryness and maintain shine.

• Smart 8-Free: no ammonia, no PPD, no parabens, no phthalates, no SLS, no resorcinol, no gluten, no titanium dioxide.
• Keratin and argan oil help smooth and add sheen during processing.
• Dermatologist-tested and cruelty-free; Leaping Bunny certified.

What comes in the kit and how is it used for best results?

The kit arrives complete for a single application: cream color, conditioning color activator, gloves, cap, barrier cream, and an instruction booklet. Follow the step-by-step directions and timing for dependable, salon-quality outcomes, and consider professional color bar guidance for major color changes.

• Includes premeasured Radiant Cream Color and Conditioning Color Activator for simple mixing.
• Barrier cream and gloves protect skin and hands during application.
• Detailed instructions outline timing and rinsing to optimize pigment payoff and condition.

How long will the color last and how should I maintain it?

As a permanent hair color, Ravenna Brown delivers long-lasting results, though brightness and tone may gradually soften with washes. Most customers retouch roots every 4–6 weeks; using color-safe shampoos and conditioning treatments will extend vibrancy and hair health.

• Permanent dye formulation resists fading longer than semi- or demi-permanent options.
• Recommended root touch-ups generally every 4–6 weeks depending on regrowth and lifestyle.
• Color-preserving haircare and occasional masking treatments help maintain shine and softness.

Who is this for: Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit in 3.5NNN Ravenna Brown is ideal for people with mostly gray or stubborn grays seeking a deep, near-black neutral brown with salon-quality permanence, who prefer a cleaner ingredient profile and hair-loving additives. If you want dependable coverage, conditioning benefits during coloring, and a formula without common harsh chemicals, this kit is formulated for you. For dramatic lightening or shade changes greater than two levels from your natural color, consult a professional colorist or Madison Reed Hair Color Bar for personalized guidance.
