Directions:
Mixing your hair colour: Please note natural hair colour application is a slow process (allow 1 – 6 hours from beginning to end)
- In a bowl combine hair powder, mix spice sachet (optional) and diluted lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, a little at a time until a smooth (yoghurt like) consistency is formed. Honey/molasses can be added at this stage to help with consistency and to ease with washing out colour. (Optional: does not change the colour of your hair).
- Leave your mix to sit for 10-15 minutes before application.
- Stir paste again. It should have the consistency of thick smooth yoghurt. if the mix is a little toothpaste-like, add some warm water or herbal tea.
Application: Before applying your colour, make sure you have clean/dry hair (oily hair/conditioner/hair products can reduce effectiveness of the colour)
- Apply the paste thickly to sections of your hair – starting at the roots and down to the ends. Covering your whole head.
- Always wear gloves (the colour contains a natural dye that will stain skin and surfaces).
- Once hair is totally covered wrap in a shower cap (preffered) or cling wrap to keep in place and stop drips.
- The paste should remain on your hair for 2-4 hours. The longer you leave the paste the deeper the colour.
- Subtle colour (1-2hours) richer colour (4 – 6 hours)
- For optimum grey coverage it is recommended that you leave the paste in your hair for the maximum amount of time possible (no less then 3 hours).
Washing out the paste:
- The best way to wash out is to first condition you hair to release the particles, then shampoo and condition again spreading it with a wide tooth comb.
- For up to a week after application colour may run when washing, this is normal.
Note:The true colour of your hair will come through after 2 – 3 days. Dyes recommended every 4 – 6 weeks.
