Are you ready to embrace the magic of nature and transform your locks into vibrant, luscious hues? Look no further than Rēcipe Botanica's organic hair colour treatments. Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and hello to gorgeous, healthy hair with our step-by-step guide on how to become a mud head expert.
1. PREPARE YOUR HAIR
Before diving into the world of herbal hair colouring, it's crucial to prep your strands for the ultimate transformation. Start by giving your hair a deep cleanse with a clarifying shampoo. This step ensures that your hair is free from any impurities, product buildup, or residues that could interfere with the colouring process. If you've been using silicone-based products, we recommend using our detox mask beforehand to ensure a thorough cleanse and remove any stubborn buildup.
Remember to skip the conditioner before applying the organic colour, as it can create a barrier on the hair shaft, hindering the absorption of the colour pigments.
2. COMBINE POWDER
Now it's time to mix up your magical concoction! To achieve the perfect blend, combine the herbal powder with hot water using the recommended ratios based on your hair length. Whether you're touching up your roots or going for a full-length transformation, we've got you covered. Use a whisk to blend the mixture until it reaches a thick yogurt-like consistency.
We recommend using:
- For root-to-mid-length application, mix 100g of powder with 300g of water.
- For mid-length to full-length application, mix 150g of powder with 450g of water.
- For long hair and full-length application, mix 200g of powder with 600g of water.
For optimal results, aim for a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius for base colours annd dark shades and 60 degrees Celsius for warm and vibrant shades.
3. APPLY
With your colour mix ready to go, it's time to get hands-on! Apply the Rēcipe Botanica colour blend to damp, brushed hair, making sure to divide your hair into sections for even saturation. Ensure that every strand is fully coated with the mud for the best colour payoff. If needed, don't hesitate to mix up more product for a denser application and superior results.
4. RELAX
Once your hair is coated in its botanical goodness, it's time to sit back and relax. Pop on a shower cap and let the plants work their magic. Depending on the shade you're aiming for, the processing time may vary. Lighter shades typically require 30 to 45 minutes, while darker hues may need up to 2 hours and 30 minutes. Feel free to experiment with different timings to achieve your desired result. And because our dyes are free from harsh chemicals, you can leave them on all day for an extra intense colour boost!
5. RINSE OFF
After the designated processing time, rinse your hair with warm water without shampooing. Follow up with conditioner and gently comb through your locks to ensure all plant residues are thoroughly removed. Finally, style your hair as desired using your favorite products.
6. WAIT FOR 48 HOURS
Patience is key when it comes to achieving the perfect hue. Allow 24 to 48 hours for the colour to fully develop its rich tones. During this time, refrain from shampooing your hair to allow the colour to set effectively. Trust us, the wait will be worth it!
THE +:
Orange Hair:
If you notice any orange tones in your hair after rinsing, fear not! Simply towel dry your hair and apply our COOL RINSE mixture to counteract the warmth. Let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing off.
Green Hair:
For those with significant grey hair, a green tint after rinsing is a sign of effective coverage. Embrace the green, as it will fade within 24 to 48 hours, revealing a beautiful brown hue. Avoid shampooing during this time to allow the colour to settle.
With Rēcipe Botanica's organic hair colours, achieving stunning, vibrant locks has never been easier. Say hello to healthy, radiant hair and bid farewell to harsh chemicals. Cheers to embracing the power of nature and becoming a mud head expert!
