Recipe Botanica has honestly been life changing for me. I was getting tired of constantly going to salons and spending so much money just to cover my natural hair colour and greys, only to be left with hair that felt dry, brittle and damaged afterwards.
I had also struggled to find a hair colour that would cover my greys without causing burning, itching or discomfort. Recipe Botanica was completely different. My scalp did not burn or itch during or after using it, and my hair felt much healthier than it usually did after salon colouring.
The colour initially came out a little orange on my hair, but I made a solution using approximately 70% roasted coffee and 30% blueberry, which transformed the result. It softened the orange tones and made my greys look like natural, dimensional highlights rather than obvious grey coverage.
There is a noticeable herbal smell, but it usually disappears after the recommended 48-hour wash. That feels like such a small compromise compared with the irritation, damage and expense I had experienced in the past.
Being able to colour my hair at home, achieve a beautiful natural-looking result, save money and avoid the burning, itching, dryness and brittleness has made an enormous difference to me. For the first time in a long time, I feel confident colouring my hair again, and I am incredibly grateful to have found Recipe Botanica. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!
p.s. - BONUS...the ingredients are the cleanest I have ever seen...and I've been searching for almost 20 years now!!!
