How to use our products

Step by step

STEP 1 - WASH

Start by washing your hair twice with a clarifying shampoo to eliminate impurities, product buildup, and residue 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 color, as conditioners can create a barrier on the hair shaft, potentially affecting the colour absorption.

STEP 2 - MIX

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 50°C for light and cool shades 60°C for warm shades.

  • 50°C for shades:

Vanilla, Champagne, Chamomile, Golden Macadamia, Almond, Plum, Roasted Coffee, Rose Mocha, Blueberry, Dark Chocolate, Caviar.

  • 60°C for shades:

Sweet Orange, Peach, Pomegranate.

STEP 3 - APPLY

Apply the 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.

Start my the top of your head working your way down the neck. If you wish to apply colour all over you can apply the colour on lengths either per section or once you are finished applying roots.

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.

STEP 4 - RELAX

Cover your hair with a shower cap and unwind as the plants work their wonders.

Each colour requires a specific processing time.

  • For lighter shades during the initial application, we suggest 20 to 45 minutes.
  • For darker shades we recommend 45 minutes to 2 hour and 30 minutes.

Feel free to try different timings and make adjustments accordingly. Since our dyes are completely chemical-free, you can keep them on all day for a more intense colour if you wish.

STEP 5 - RINSE

After the processing time, rinse your hair with warm water without shampooing.

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.

STEP 6 - WAIT

Let the colour settle.

Wait 48 hours before shampooing to allow the plant pigments to fully develop and bond. This time is essential for your colour to deepen, settle, and reveal its true tone—naturally and beautifully.

STEP 1 - MIX

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 60 degrees.

STEP 2 - APPLY

Apply our treatment mix to dry, 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 result, starting by the roots and working your way down as needed.

If necessary, feel free to mix more product; a denser application provides superior outcomes with herbal treatments.

STEP 3 - RELAX

Cover your hair with a shower cap and unwind as the plants work their wonders. We recommend leaving the treatment from 30 to 60 minutes. Feel free to try different timings and make adjustments accordingly. The longer the treatment stays on your hair, the more goodness your hair and scalp will absorb.

Since our treatments are completely chemical-free, you can keep them on several hours if they will comfortable on your scalp.

STEP 4 - RINSE

After the processing time, rinse your hair with warm water and proceed with
shampooing. 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.
