In just 15 minutes, users will get rich, natural-looking black colour with 100% grey coverage. The product makes hair colouring as easy as the application of a shampoo.

Smart Black shampoo hair colour eliminates the need for gloves, brushes, or mixing bowls. This revolutionary product is powered by breakthrough, auto-oxidative hair colour technology. It features Godrej Hair Lab’s in-house, patented, no-peroxide and no ammonia formulation. Smart Black shampoo hair colour is enriched with the goodness of gallic acid and aloe vera.
