Product details

McCook's professional ammonia free Hair Colour Cream in No. 3 Dark Brown includes a 60g colour tube and a 90ml 20 vol (6%) developer, per the title, with long lasting colour promised. It suits salon users and confident home colourers who want a deep brown with professional-style mixing.

This McCook kit follows the salon format: a 60g ammonia free colour cream in No. 3 Dark Brown and a separate 90ml developer at 20 volume, or 6%. The title also mentions long lasting colour and is cut off after that, so open the full listing for any further claims, the mixing ratio and a complete list of what is included in the pack.

Level 3 Dark Brown sits just above black on the colour scale. It is a popular choice for women who find black too heavy against their skin but still want full grey coverage and a natural appearance. On untreated black hair, a 6% developer with a level 3 shade will mainly deposit colour, so expect a soft brown hint visible in daylight rather than a strong lift.

Separating cream and developer lets you mix the exact quantity needed, which is efficient for root touch-ups. It also means you are responsible for accuracy. Use a measuring cup or the markings on the bottle and mix in a non-metal bowl. Apply immediately after mixing and discard any leftover, as mixed colour cannot be saved.

Ammonia free colour may feel and smell milder, but the developer is still peroxide-based. Do a patch test 48 hours before every application and a strand test to see the depth on your hair. Protect the hairline, wear gloves, and rinse right away with plenty of water if the colour enters your eyes.

Browns often need a little more care than black for long lasting results, because fading can reveal warm undertones over time. Use a sulphate-free shampoo, rinse in cool water, and consider a weekly conditioning treatment. Keeping hair covered in harsh sun also helps the shade stay rich.

If you already use the No. 1 Black from the same McCook range, this Dark Brown is a way to soften the look while keeping the same routine. Some people alternate shades seasonally, though it is wise to strand test whenever you switch.

It was listed around ₹532 at the time of writing, against an MRP of ₹1,270. Check expiry dates on both bottles, confirm the shade on the box image, and look for gloves or a brush in the listing contents.
