Herb Speedy Hair Color Cream Soft Black is a PPD-free, ammonia-free Korean hair dye that delivers a soft, natural-looking black rather than a harsh jet black, making it a flattering choice for anyone who wants a gentle dark shade on a sensitive scalp. This two-step cream system from Dongsung gives full grey coverage in about 20 minutes while herbal extracts help soothe and protect the scalp.

Why Choose Soft Black

Soft Black sits between Dark Brown and a true black, so it reads as a deep, natural black with subtle warmth instead of a flat, artificial pitch black. It is a popular pick for blending greys discreetly and for anyone whose natural hair is dark but not jet black. Because the colour is naturally derived, the final result can vary slightly with your starting shade, which is exactly what gives it a soft, lived-in finish.

Why This Hair Color Cream Works

Conventional permanent dyes rely on PPD (P-Phenylenediamine) and diamine compounds, the main triggers of hair-dye allergy. Herb Speedy replaces these with naturally derived dye ingredients, so it suits extremely sensitive scalps. The fast two-cream process colours hair in roughly 20 minutes (about 10 minutes per cream), it is ammonia-free and paraben-free, and a patented sunscreen agent helps protect the colour from UV fading.

A 48-hour patch test is strongly recommended before each application.

Ideal For

This soft black Korean hair dye is ideal for UAE shoppers with sensitive scalps or PPD sensitivity who prefer a natural-looking black over a stark jet black, and for those covering early or scattered greys. Made in Korea by Dongsung Bio Pharm, a manufacturer operating since 1957, it pairs gentle herbal care with quick, salon-style results at home, with both colour creams, a brush, cap, gloves and a divided container included in the kit.

The formula is ammonia-free and paraben-free with vegan, naturally derived colourants.
