Please note: It is not recommended to use the Mahogany, Chocolate and Espresso henna colours on grey or very light hair. The colour may continue to develop for up to 7 days.
Tips
Henna produces reddish-orange tones, whilst indigo deepens the colour. Henna shades can range from light orange to bright red or reddish-brown and can be adjusted by mixing them with other herbs. The colour intensity increases when the hair remains warm and damp during the processing time. Heat can also shorten the processing time. The lighter the hair at the time of application, the redder the final result.
Bear in mind that botanical hair dyes are less effective at covering grey hair and may not produce a visible result if the percentage of grey hair exceeds 30%.
You can mix this botanical hair dye with:
- Green tea: Makes bright colours less yellow or red and more natural.
- Black tea: Enhances brown pigments.
- Black coffee: Deepens the colour.
- Boiling water: Enhances the colour.
- Sour milk products (yoghurt): Lightens red colours and enhances the orange pigment.
- Vegetable oil: Makes henna easier to apply and rinse out and prevents drying out whilst it is left on.
