dimensions / materials / Ingredients:

Organic Hair Colour powder: Lawsonia Inermis (henna), Indigofera Tinctoria (Australian native Indigo), Cassia Obovata (neutral henna), Embilica Oficialia (berry), Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera), Matricaria Recutita (chamomile) Beta Vulgaris (common beet), Rosa Sinensis (hibiscus). *Also includes small fragrance sachet of mixed spices (non certified organic but 100% natural and plant based)

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 warm water 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

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 relase the particles, then shampoo and conditon 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.

Warning: Keep out of reach of children. External use only. Not intened for any other purpose than dying hair. Do not use for eyelashes or eyebrows. Wear gloves supplied. Store below 30 degrees. Always patch test when using any hair dye. Read and follow enclosed instructions carefully.
