Ingredients

Preparation

Use

This dye adds reddish/copper highlights to chestnut hair. Apply evenly to the entire head of hair, cover with a hairnet and leave on for 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the intensity you want. Rinse hair thoroughly with clean water. Drying your hair with a hairdryer can accentuate the highlights even more. 100% natural colour!

Tip: to avoid staining the skin on your face when applying colour, apply a little shea butter at the hairline, around the face and on the neck.

Ingredients

Tip

NB: The quantities suggested in this recipe are suitable for short hair. Double them for medium-length hair and triple them for long hair.

Preparation

Before you start

Precautions and allergens

1

Mix the powders in a bowl.

2

Gradually pour the hot tap water over the powders, stirring until you obtain a smooth, semi-fluid paste.

NB: The amount of water needed to obtain a semi-fluid paste may vary depending on the plant powders, so adjust if necessary.

-How to use: Always do a trial application on hair collected from your brush. Wait 48 hours to assess the final result. Use gloves.

Protect your clothes to avoid staining yourself. During the application, wrap your hair in a hairnet to keep in the heat: the henna paste must remain moist throughout the application.

-Precaution: Perform a sensitivity test in the crease of the elbow at least 48 hours before application.

Avoid contact with the eyes.

In the event of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Do not use on eyelashes or eyebrows.

-Storage: This preparation is for immediate use and cannot be stored.

Opinions

I love the result! I'm a fairly dull ash blonde and this coloring sounds like a pretty coppery brown! On the other hand, does anyone have a magic ingredient to cover the smell a little, which still remains for a few days?

Made 2 times First recipe made and it did nothing on my white hair (1h30 leave-on). Redone the next day with walnut husk and leave-on for 2h30 same result. On the other hand, it works very well on bleached hair! Leaves hair soft. For me it is not in the coloring category or the recipe and the application method are not complete.

Reply to nice Nice, you should try the garnet brown henna to cover your white hair, it gives burgundy highlights. I am brunette with some white hair, and I put it on without mixing. It works. On the other hand, the smell is really not great!

How long did the color last? Hello, For those who tested the recipe, how long did the color last before you did it again? Thanks in advance!

Adopted I love the smell without HE (I must be one of the few people to like it). I have straight and fine hair, between dark blond and light brown (so always dull!!), thanks to this mixture my hair is shiny, with red highlights, and gets greasy less quickly. It's a little difficult to put on at first but it's a knack to get the hang of. It covers white hair too. I leave it on for 2 hours but next time I'll try longer. I add detangler while rinsing to remove the cardboard effect and massage well while shampooing. For me, we don't use more water for rinsing than when we do a homemade dye. The color duration will depend on the hair but for me it's about 3 weeks.
