Blueberry — Cool Depth Booster & Tone Corrector
Blueberry creates a deep, cool-toned blue-black with intense depth — rich, refined, and beautifully balanced. It works by depositing cool plant pigments onto your hair, enhancing your base while neutralising unwanted warmth. Designed for darker hair or as a mixing shade, it delivers a cooler, deeper finish without looking flat or heavy.
On its own, it creates a bold, dark result with a cool-toned edge.
Mixed with other shades, it helps boost grey coverage, neutralise brassiness, and add depth and intensity. This is your go-to shade to cool, balance, and refine.
Perfect if you want:
A deeper, cooler-toned result
To neutralise warmth or brassiness
To enhance grey coverage when mixing
More depth and tonal balance
Formulated with tinctorial plants and enriched with Australian native botanicals, Blueberry doesn’t just colour — it treats.
It helps strengthen and smooth the hair fibre while soothing and balancing the scalp.

Results will vary depending on your natural base — always unique, always beautifully yours.
1 PREPARE YOUR HAIR
To prepare your hair for our organic colour treatment, follow these steps:
- Start by washing your hair twice with a clarifying shampoo to eliminate impurities, product buildup, and residues that could affect the colouring process.
- If you have been using silicone-based products, we suggest using our detox mask before shampooing to ensure thorough cleansing and remove stubborn buildup for even colour application.
- Avoid using conditioner before applying the organic colour, as conditioners can create a barrier on the hair shaft, potentially affecting the colour absorption.
2 COMBINE THE POWDER
To mix the powder effectively, combine it with hot water using three times the volume of water as the powder. Here are the recommended ratios for different hair lengths:
- 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.
Use a whisk to blend until the mixture resembles thick yogurt. To achieve the ideal result, we recommend using water a 50 degrees.
3 APPLY
Apply Rēcipe Botanica colour mix to damp, brushed hair using your hands or a colour brush. To enhance application, it is recommended to divide your hair into sections to ensure complete saturation. Ensure every strand is fully covered with the mud for the best colour results. If necessary, feel free to mix more product; a denser application provides superior outcomes with herbal colours.
4 RELAX
Cover your hair with a shower cap and unwind as the plants work their wonders. For our Indigo shade we recommend leaving the colour from 1h30 to 2h. Feel free to try different timings and make adjustments accordingly. The longer the colour stays on your hair, the deeper and richer your hair colour will be. Since our dyes are completely chemical-free, you can keep them on all day for a more intense colour if you wish.
5 RINSE OFF
After the processing time, rinse your hair with warm water without shampooing. Then, apply conditioner and comb through it using a large comb or brush to remove any plant residues completely. Finally, style your hair using desired products.
6 WAIT FOR 48H
Allow 24 to 48 hours for the colour to develop its full hues. This waiting period will enhance the colour depth and fade any undesired greenish tones, unveiling a stunning shade. Refrain from shampooing your hair within this timeframe to let the colour set effectively.

Ok, I was skeptical but really wanted a better way to cover greys without using a box-dye every 3-4 weeks as it was starting to irritate my scalp. I have naturally dark brown hair and went with a mix 1/3 blueberry / 2/3 roasted coffee. The precess is interesting - I embarked on this experiment with a friend and we applied the mud to each other's hair. I think this is crucial for even coverage, especially if your hair is long and/or thick. The mud smells bad, there is no way to soften that - it is very earthy and strong. The colour I achieved is great, I am so happy with it. It does have bold red undertones, so I'm glad I used the cooler blueberry in the mix to temper that. I can't speak to longevity of the colour yet, but none of it washed out after the first wash. I am super hopeful that I have found my "forever" solution to unwanted greys. If you are on the fence I say try this product!

I was given some helpful advice and a did a few trial strand tests. I’ve now got a rich warm brown colour using a combination of Rose Mocha, Chamomile and blueberry. I am so glad to have found a natural
Hair dye which will hopefully be better for my hair.

Amazing. Mixed with toasted coffee this has covered my very resistant greys perfectly! So glad I found this product.

I just died my hair for the first time yesterday with a mix or chamomile, almond, and blueberry. I love the result! My grays got covered by 70% but I made the mix a bit too liquid. Will do roots touch up in a week with more thicker mix. My length got a nice cool brown color even with a warm base. I’m so happy I managed to get the cool brown color that I always wanted and even in a hair salon I couldn’t get it. I’ll definitely continue using this product and highly recommend it to everyone!

Worked exactly as described, cooled down the tone from orange yellow to rich chestnut

Blueberry worked great to tone down the orange mess of my silver roots after an almond hair color, left on for only 15 minutes it settled well with the rest of my hair. I was told that I can either mix it with almond next time for roots & length or just keep it as a 2nd step. Don’t forget the clarifying shampoo so it can really deposit onto your hair. I’m loving recipe botánica so far!

I love these products , they leave my hair feeling soft and shiny. Still working out the ratios to get my perfect colour
B
I absolutely love the Blueberry colour! It was the perfect addition to Almond and really helped tone down the orange while still leaving my hair with a beautiful, natural-looking warmth. My hair feels soft, healthy, and the colour covers my greys really well. I’ll definitely keep using Blueberry in my colour mix from now on!
