Product details

McCook Professional Ammonia Free Hair Colour Cream in No. 5 Light Brown comes as a 60g cream with a 90ml 20 vol 6% developer and is described as long lasting. It suits greys and lighter bases wanting a soft brown, though on black hair it will mostly add warmth.

This McCook professional hair colour pairs a 60g ammonia-free colour cream in No. 5 Light Brown with a 90ml bottle of 20 volume (6%) developer. The title also describes it as long lasting. Having the developer included means you do not have to guess which strength to buy, which is helpful for first-time users of professional-style colour.

Level 5 is light brown on the standard scale. On natural black Indian hair, a level 5 colour with 6% developer gives limited lift, so the result tends to be a gentle brown warmth in sunlight rather than an obvious light brown. On greys, however, it can give a clear, soft brown that looks natural and less harsh than dark shades.

That makes this shade a good fit for people with a higher proportion of greys who want a lighter, more youthful brown, or those with naturally dark brown hair who want to brighten their look slightly. If you want a distinct light brown on black hair, you would need professional lightening.

Ammonia-free formulas typically have a milder smell, which many people prefer in small bathrooms. They still contain colour chemicals, and allergic reactions remain possible. The 48-hour patch test is essential, along with a strand test to confirm the shade.

The 60g and 90ml quantities suggest a mixing ratio around 1:1.5, but always follow the leaflet. Mix in a non-metal bowl, apply with a brush on dry hair and start at the roots and grey areas. Long or thick hair may need two packs.

To keep the brown from turning brassy in hot, sunny weather and hard water, use a colour-safe shampoo, rinse with cool water and condition regularly. An occasional blue or purple toning product, if suitable, may help neutralise unwanted warmth on lighter sections.

Compared with darker shades in the same range, No. 5 is softer and more forgiving on grey regrowth. Compared with box dyes, a cream and developer set gives a more salon-like experience at home.

Before buying, check expiry, seller and pack contents on the listing. Wear gloves, keep the mixture away from eyes and discard leftover mixed colour. Consult a doctor first if you are pregnant or have had dye reactions. It was listed around ₹602 at the time of writing.
