Description Description

Radico Organic Brahmi Leaf Powder is a single-ingredient scalp treatment, milled from Bacopa monnieri leaf grown on our own certified organic farms. One ingredient in the pouch and nothing else — no fillers, no synthetic preservatives, no fragrance, no PPD, no ammonia.

Net weight 100 g (3.5 oz). Enough for 13 to 20 scalp treatments on short to shoulder-length hair, or about 3 full-length masks at shoulder length. It carries no pigment, so it will not colour hair or alter a herbal colour you already have.

Two different plants are sold as brahmi

This is the single most common confusion around this herb, and it is worth checking on any pouch you buy — ours included.

	This powder	Also sold as brahmi
Botanical name	Bacopa monnieri	Centella asiatica
Plant family	Plantaginaceae	Apiaceae — the carrot family
Other common names	Water hyssop, herb of grace	Gotu kola, mandukaparni
The plant	A creeping marsh herb with small succulent leaves	A creeping herb with rounded, fan-shaped leaves
Principal saponins	Bacosides	Asiaticoside, madecassoside

They are not related. Both carry triterpenoid saponins, which is part of why the names became tangled, but they sit in entirely different plant families. A pouch labelled simply “brahmi” may be either one. Ours says Bacopa monnieri, and that is what is in it.

What is actually in the leaf

The compound associated with Bacopa monnieri is bacoside A, a triterpenoid saponin.

Formula	C₄₁H₆₈O₁₃
Molecular weight	769.0 g/mol
CAS number	11028-00-5
PubChem CID	92043183

The name means two things. Those identifiers describe a single registered structure. What is actually isolated from the plant under the name bacoside A is a mixture — a defined group of four closely related saponins: bacoside A3, bacopaside II, bacopasaponin C, and the jujubogenin isomer of bacopasaponin C. Both usages are correct in their own context. We mention it because almost every listing for brahmi treats bacoside A as one molecule.

We do not list an antioxidant content for this powder. Antioxidant claims for plant material are common and easy to make, and we have not found a figure for milled brahmi leaf that we would be comfortable putting on a product page.

What the research has examined — and what it has not

Most published work on Bacopa monnieri concerns oral use. The bacosides have been studied in cell, animal and human trials for effects that have nothing to do with the scalp.

Here is the honest position. We have not found published work establishing what milled brahmi leaf does when applied to a human scalp as a water paste. We are not claiming it treats any scalp condition, and in the United States a cosmetic may not make that claim.

What we can tell you is what is in the powder, and how brahmi has been used in Ayurvedic hair care: applied to the scalp, alongside herbs like bhringraj, in the same water-and-powder form we sell it in.

How to use it

Brahmi is a scalp herb. Most people apply it to the roots and scalp only, which takes far less powder than a full-length mask.

Step by step guide of brahmi leaf hair powder

1. Weigh the powder

Weigh rather than spoon — a spoonful of leaf powder can vary by a third depending on the spoon and how it is scooped. A small kitchen scale takes the guesswork out.

For the scalp and roots only

Short to shoulder length	5–8 g (about ¼ oz)
Long or very thick	10–16 g (⅓–½ oz)

For a full-length mask

Short / chin length	15–20 g (½–¾ oz)
Shoulder length	30 g (1 oz)
Long or very thick	50–60 g (1¾–2 oz)

2. Mix with warm water

Add warm water gradually — roughly three times the powder’s weight in millilitres. 30 g takes about 90 to 115 ml. Stir to a thick yogurt consistency that holds on the brush without dripping, then let it stand 5 minutes; the powder keeps absorbing water.

Powder	Warm water
5–8 g (¼ oz)	15–25 ml (½–1 fl oz)
10–16 g (⅓–½ oz)	30–50 ml (1–1¾ fl oz)
15–20 g (½–¾ oz)	45–65 ml (1½–2¼ fl oz)
30 g (1 oz)	90–115 ml (3–4 fl oz)
50–60 g (1¾–2 oz)	150–200 ml (5–7 fl oz)

3. Apply to the scalp first

Section the hair and work the paste into the scalp with your fingertips, then draw the rest down through the lengths.

4. Leave on 30–45 minutes

Cover with a shower cap so the paste stays damp. A dried-out paste stops working — it is the water that keeps the plant compounds in contact with the scalp. Leaving it longer than 60 minutes adds nothing.

5. Rinse

Rinse thoroughly with warm water — powder masks hide at the nape. Shampoo is optional.

How often: once to three times a week, as suits your routine. Brahmi does not build up on the strand, so it can be repeated as often as you like.

You may already be using it

Brahmi carries no pigment, so it can sit inside a colour recipe without touching the shade. It is one of the herbs in 11 of Radico’s 24 shades — and every one of them is a blonde. It appears in no brown and no red shade in the range.

Those eleven are Darkest Ash Blonde, Dark Ash Blonde, Ash Blonde, Light Ash Blonde, Wheat Blonde, Beige Blonde, Champagne Blonde, Caramel Blonde, Light Reddish Blonde, Reddish Blonde and Sun Blonde. If you colour with any of them, brahmi has been on your scalp already — as a scalp herb inside the formula, not as a dye.

You can also add it yourself. Because it carries no pigment, brahmi can be blended into henna, indigo or any Radico shade without changing the colour result or the development time. Blend the dry powders together before adding water.

What it will not do in a mix: it will not darken the result, will not improve gray coverage, and will not speed up or slow down development.

Which Radico herb should you choose?

If your concern is	Choose
An itchy or sensitive scalp	Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri)
A flaking or tight-feeling scalp	Neem (Azadirachta indica)
Thinning, weak or tired-feeling hair — care at the root	Bhringraj (Eclipta alba)
Dry or brittle strands	Methi (Trigonella foenum-graecum)
Dullness — and softening henna’s warmth	Amla (Emblica officinalis)

Of these five, only amla affects a colour result. The rest are colour-neutral and can be added to any mix.

Before you use it

Bacopa monnieri belongs to the Plantaginaceae family, the plantain family. Patch test on the inner forearm 48 hours before a full application, and stop use if irritation develops.

FAQ

Is this brahmi Bacopa monnieri or Centella asiatica? Is this brahmi Bacopa monnieri or Centella asiatica?

Bacopa monnieri. Two unrelated plants are sold under the name brahmi: Bacopa monnieri, a creeping marsh herb in the Plantaginaceae family, and Centella asiatica, in the carrot family, also sold as gotu kola or mandukaparni. Both carry triterpenoid saponins, which is part of why the names became tangled, but their compounds are different. A pouch labelled simply brahmi may be either one, so it is worth checking the botanical name on anything you buy.

Will brahmi powder change my hair colour? Will brahmi powder change my hair colour?

No. Brahmi carries no pigment, so it will not colour hair or alter a herbal colour you already have. It is one of the herbs in 11 of Radico's 24 shades — all of them blondes — where it sits as a scalp herb rather than a dye, and because it is colour-neutral it can be blended into any shade without changing the result.

How much brahmi powder should I use? How much brahmi powder should I use?

For a scalp treatment, 5 to 8 g (about ¼ oz) for short to shoulder-length hair, or 10 to 16 g (⅓ to ½ oz) for long or very thick hair. For a full-length mask, 30 g (1 oz) covers shoulder-length hair from scalp to ends. Weigh rather than spoon: a spoonful of leaf powder can vary by a third depending on how it is scooped.

How many uses are in a 100 g pouch? How many uses are in a 100 g pouch?

Between 13 and 20 scalp treatments for short to shoulder-length hair, or about 3 full-length masks at shoulder length.

How long should I leave brahmi on my hair? How long should I leave brahmi on my hair?

30 to 45 minutes, kept damp under a shower cap. A dried-out paste stops working, because it is the water that keeps the plant compounds in contact with the scalp. There is no advantage to leaving it longer than 60 minutes.

Is bacoside A a single compound? Is bacoside A a single compound?

It depends on the context, and this is worth knowing if you compare one supplier's analysis with another's. PubChem lists bacoside A as a single registered structure — CAS 11028-00-5, CID 92043183, C41H68O13. What is actually isolated from the plant under that name is a mixture: a defined group of four closely related saponins, bacoside A3, bacopaside II, bacopasaponin C and the jujubogenin isomer of bacopasaponin C, measured together in pharmacopoeial standards.

Is brahmi safe if I have allergies? Is brahmi safe if I have allergies?

Bacopa monnieri belongs to the Plantaginaceae family, the plantain family. Patch test on the inner forearm 48 hours before a full application and stop use if irritation develops. We cannot tell you whether any plant is safe for you; we can tell you what is in the pouch.

I Love Radico’s Shampoo Bar

I have fine hair and have been under the belief that my hair needs to be “squeaky clean” and then add a load of volumizing & super moisturizing conditioner to make it right. Radio’s shampoo bar doesn’t weigh it down or strip it -which feels odd at first, but that’s actually because my hair is not being stripped of its natural oils in the first place.
Sooo…..No more clumps of hair in the drain and no need for conditioner. My hair looks and feels great!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re truly happy to hear that our shampoo bar is working so well for your hair.
At first, it can feel a little unusual because your hair and scalp are adjusting back to their natural oil balance. But once that balance stabilizes, your hair can return to its naturally healthy, soft, and beautiful state—just as you described.
It brings our whole team great joy to know we could help you experience your hair in its best, most natural condition.

Excellent product

It made my hair feel very soft and healthy.

Thank you so much for your kind comment!
We’re truly happy to hear that the Neem Powder made your hair feel soft and healthy. I personally use Neem hair powder regularly as well, and I’ve also noticed how much softer and smoother my hair becomes over time.

It means a lot to us to know you’re enjoying the benefits of natural herbal care.

Excellent product

The color is exactly what I wanted, it looks so natural.

Thank you so much for your kind comment!
We’re truly delighted to hear that Champagne Blonde matched your hair so beautifully and gave you the natural look you were hoping for. It makes our whole team very happy to know it worked perfectly for you.

Love Love Love

After having a stroke at a young age, I decided I would never again put chemicals on my head. When I found Radico, I was overjoyed. Not only is it both natural and organic, it’s also beautiful.

In covering my grey streaks, the product gives me what looks like highlights, which makes the end result look very natural and not from a bottle (or expensively done from a bottle).

Also, it leaves my hair looking shinier, healthier and stronger each time I use it. My hair gets thicker and more lush for weeks after a treatment. Not something I can say for a salon chemical color job.

Last but not least, they have great customer service. When they accidentally sent me just one package after I had ordered two, the team responded to my email about it immediately. They sent my second package out the same day. To be clear, I’ve only had an error like this one on my order once, after buying this product for years now.

Love love love.

Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review.

Your story truly touched us. We are so grateful that you chose to trust a natural path, and it means the world to us that our products have been a part of your journey.

Thankful

After developing a work related chemical exposure allergy , my skin flared with any chemical dyes from then on.
Extremely thankful I found this 1 step protective Henna

Our entire team feels encouraged and thankful to hear that our product could be a safe alternative for you. Wishing you continued comfort, confidence, and healthy, beautiful hair.

Never arrived

Product never arrived and though I've written, no answer and no explanation. I ordered 8 packets so that is a lot of money.

According to USPS tracking, your original order of 8 Brown packets was delivered on February 9 (Delivered to Front Door/Porch). However, after you informed us that the package had not arrived, we immediately arranged a replacement shipment of the same items.
For the second shipment, we used UPS for added security, and we received confirmation from UPS that the package was successfully delivered to you on February 24.
We always take situations like this very seriously and appreciate your patience. If you have any further concerns or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us—we are here to help.

Makes my thick, healthy , love the color !

Dear Maria Cook,

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! 🌿💚

We truly appreciate your continued support — having used our products 14 times, you are one of our valued customers we genuinely recognize and look forward to serving each time. It means so much to our team that we even know your name when preparing your shipments!

We’re especially happy to hear that your hair feels thicker and that you love the color. Knowing that our herbal hair color is supporting the health of your scalp and hair brings real joy to everyone on our team.

Thank you for being such a loyal part of the Radico USA family — your kind words truly motivate us every day. 🌿✨

Your hair color is not to my liking at all and I don't like it, because I ordered the dark brown color but it turned my hair purple and blue and I became the laughing stock of my friends, please refund my money and take back your product.

Thank you for purchasing Indigo Leaf Powder and Men’s Dark Brown, and we’re very sorry to hear about your experience.

As noted in the first-time user guide included with your shipment, indigo naturally develops color by reacting with moisture after dyeing. It transitions from green to blue over time. If the hair dries too quickly, the oxidation process can stop prematurely, which may result in a purplish tone. Since our hair color contains no chemical additives, the color develops through this natural pigment process.

We understand how frustrating this must have been. For first-time customers who are not satisfied with their result, we offer support in the form of either a full refund or a complimentary replacement shade. Please contact us at customer-service@radicousa.com and let us know your preference, and we will take care of it promptly.

We truly appreciate you giving our natural hair color a try.

Wheat Blonde

My natural hair color is dark blonde with some grays. I mixed the color according the instructions. First time I decided to keep the mixture on my hair for 60 minutes under plastic foil and warm towel. There was no change to my hair color, the greys were not covered. I didn’t wash my hair for 3 days to see, if there will be any difference with my hair color. Nothing. On the fourth day after first coloring, I repeated the whole process. This time I waited 80 minutes before rinsing my hair. Again, I waited 3 day before washing my hair to see, if there will be the oxidation process, as I saw on one video. Nothing happened. My hair is not colored at all. Waste of money and my time. I won’t be buying this product in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that Wheat Blonde did not work for you, despite your careful and patient application.

Wheat Blonde is one of our lightest shades and does not contain henna, which means that depending on hair type—especially for some gray or low-porosity hair—it can be more difficult for the herbal pigments to take. Because our hair color is made only from plants and contains no chemical additives that force color into the hair, results can vary significantly from person to person, and in some cases the color may not develop at all.

For this reason, we have a First-Time Customer Assurance:
If the color result is not as expected, we are happy to either
• send a different shade at no cost, or
• issue a full refund for the hair color.

We understand how frustrating this experience must have been, especially after investing both time and effort. If you are open to it, please contact us at customer-service@radicousa.com, and let us know which option you would prefer. We will take care of it promptly.

Thank you again for giving our 100% organic hair color a try, and we sincerely apologize that this experience did not meet your expectations.

Hair Regrowth

I am believing that a small bald spot in the back near the top will be filled in by your product. I have long hair and for over a year my hair was matted and tangled big time and much of it broke off trying to untangle it and it left that bald spot, which I don't like. I was coming my hair and all of a sudden it got tangled up and I tried to untangle it and the more I did the more it got tangled. One of these freaky fluky things that never should have happened and it is the only reason my hair is thinner now after having a full head of hair as a male even at 72 years old.

Our products are designed to support a healthy scalp environment and nourish the hair you have, using only gentle, plant-based ingredients. While we can’t make medical claims or guarantee regrowth, many customers appreciate how our herbal formulas help keep the scalp balanced and hair feeling stronger and healthier over time. Creating the right conditions for scalp health is always a positive first step.

We’re grateful that you chose to try our products, and we truly hope they support your hair and scalp in a way that makes you feel more comfortable and confident.

Great Clean Hair Dye

covered very well & it didn't smell bad! Thank you for developing a non-toxic swap for hair coloring!

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! We’re truly happy to hear that the coverage worked well for you and that the natural herbal scent didn’t bother you — especially since our formula contains no added fragrances, only pure, raw herbs. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we’re grateful you found a non-toxic alternative you enjoy.

I get a lot of compliments on my shiney hair!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌿
We’re truly happy to hear that your hair is receiving so many compliments on its shine. It brings our team great joy to know that our organic hair color could help enhance the natural radiance your hair already has. We’re grateful to be a small part of keeping your hair healthy and beautifully vibrant! 💚

Great color

Amazing product. A little hard to apply on my own but results were better than I expected. My hair is so shiny!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re thrilled to hear that you’re happy with the results and that your hair looks so shiny. Your naturally healthy, glossy hair brings out the best in our organic color, and we’re so glad our product could help enhance your hair’s natural beauty.

Long lasting

Sorry to say I have been using chemical hair dyes on my hair for many years, until I discovered your hair dye. And I absolutely love it! It last longer than any hair dye I have ever used on my hair. Other dies, always faded out this does not. If it weren’t for the gray at the roots, I would need hair color less often.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience!
We’re truly delighted to hear that our hair color has lasted so well for you. Because our formula uses pure herbs that penetrate and color the hair from within—not just on the surface—it tends to hold its color much longer than conventional dyes.
As for the roots, freshly grown hair is naturally very healthy, with tightly closed cuticles that can make it harder for the color to absorb. Before dyeing, you might try gently opening the cuticles a bit more—using a mild, soap-based shampoo—to help the herbal pigments attach better to the new growth.
We’re so glad our product has become part of your healthy hair journey.

Beautiful

Simply a gorgeous color. I have light hair so this color came out a gorgeous copper on me. My hair feels so soft and people have been coming up to tell me how healthy and shiny it looks. I’ve used several colors and all of Radico’s blends look natural, but this one is my personal favorite :)

Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a repeat customer!
We’re thrilled to hear that Wine Red suited your hair beautifully. Since our colors are made entirely from pure, additive-free herbs, the final shade blends naturally with your own hair color — we’re so happy that this combination created a tone you truly love.
Your continued trust in our products means a lot to our whole team.

The color turned out exactly how I wanted my hair to look

My hair had been color treated before, and I was concerned as to how the Henna would work, but it did cover it and I am really pleased with the color… Wheat Blonde, plus I’m not worried anymore about the toxicity of the products that I was using before, the Henna is completely natural even conditions too what a bonus…
Beautiful color!

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! We’re thrilled to hear that Wheat Blonde turned out beautifully for you. It makes our whole team very happy to know that our natural hair color helped enhance your hair while keeping it healthy. Supporting the natural beauty of your hair with safe, organic ingredients is always our greatest joy.

Radico Soap Shampoo has transformed my hair

The usual ‘natural’ shampoos always dried out my hair as well as the ‘natural’ hair colours, but….
The first time that I used Radico Soap shampoo my hair was soft and the dry frizzy hair was soft and conditioned, and looked healthy again!
I also enjoy the fact that the Soap is REALLY Organic and comes from plants, it’s a good feeling of freshness in the shower, as well as the fact that I’m being kind to my hair!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful comment!
We’re truly happy to hear that the Radico Soap Shampoo suits your hair so well. It’s especially great to know that it transformed dry and frizzy hair into soft, healthy strands — that’s exactly what we hope for when creating our products.
Our team is also delighted that you appreciate the truly organic, plant-based formula. Knowing it brings both freshness to your shower and kindness to your hair makes us incredibly happy. Thank you for sharing your experience — it means a lot to us!

Organic/Did not turn out well

I love that this product is non toxic, but it is a long process! My hair is naturally medium blonde with a little gray. It came out red, which is not what I wanted. Also, it says do not wash your hair for 3 days after dyeing it. That was tough because my hair felt like straw after. I wished that using this product was a bit simpler and it had achieved the results that I had hoped for. I still love that this company is trying to make something safe, it just did not work for me!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
From what you described, it’s possible that your hair has a tightly closed cuticle, which can make it harder for the herbal pigments to fully absorb into the hair. For first-time customers, we offer a free replacement in a different shade to help you find the best match for your hair. If you could kindly fill out [https://radicousa.com/pages/first-time-customer-assurance-form] with details about your dyeing process, we’ll be able to provide more tailored advice and send you another color to try.
Also, since chemical-free dyes rely on natural pigments settling into the hair, we recommend avoiding strong shampoos for the first 3 days. This helps the herbs bond properly inside the hair. If you’d like, we can also include a sample of our organic shampoo, which is gentle on freshly dyed hair, when we send your replacement color.

We truly appreciate you giving our 100% natural hair color a try, and we’re here to support you in finding the shade and routine that works best for you.

Poor Results

The product is easy to mix, and the smell was expected. The mix was left on my hair for over an hour with blowdeying every 20-30 minutes. After wash, the hair darkended with no sign of copper. Very disappointed

Thank you for trying our product and for sharing your experience. It seems that the Indigo in the formula reacted strongly with your hair, which can sometimes cause the color to appear darker at first rather than immediately showing the copper tone. With natural plant-based dyes, the shade often continues to develop for 2–3 days as the pigments oxidize and settle.
If, after several days, the color still does not shift closer to Copper Brown, please know that since this was your first purchase and the result was unsatisfactory, we are happy to offer you a refund for the Copper Brown. Simply contact us at customer-service@radicousa.com, and we will assist you right away.
We truly appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to support you on your journey with natural, chemical-free hair color.

Way easier than I expected!

I developed an allergy to chemical dyes, so I thought I’d give this a try! I was nervous about using henna because I had heard mixed results regarding color and coverage- but I was pleasantly surprised!!! It was as easy to use as any other hair dye and covered my greys well! It did look a bit green at my roots when I first washed it out, but over two days it darkened (which was kindof fun to watch!) I’ll definitely be using this again!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re truly delighted to hear that our Dark Brown color suited your hair and that the process felt simple and enjoyable.
You’re absolutely right—shades like Dark Brown contain a high amount of indigo, which naturally transitions from green to blue over a few days before fully deepening into the final color. It’s part of the unique journey of 100% natural plant-based hair coloring, and we’re so glad you enjoyed watching that transformation happen.
It makes us very happy to know that our product not only worked well with your hair but also brought some fun to the process. Thank you again for your kind words—they mean a lot to our entire team!

The Real Deal

This product lives up to expectations. Though the color I chose was too dark, Radico’s customer service was excellent. They sent me replacement bags in a lighter shade and I appreciated their care, responsiveness, and hassle free approach. As for the product, the coverage was great and over the first couple of weeks, the color faded a tad which worked for me. My hair smelt like herbal grass for a few washings. That was probably the most negative thing but it was also tolerable given the benefits of this all natural product. As my roots are growing out, the fascinating thing is unlike chemical permanent color, the roots are not as starkly noticeable with my Radico colored hair seem - it seems to blend a bit. I really like this chemical free alternative.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the natural look and coverage, and our whole team is happy to know our efforts made a difference. The herbal scent lingers for a few days as the plant pigments settle into your hair, but it will fade as the color stabilizes. We truly appreciate your support!

So Far So Good!

I've had years of experience with "henna", but not with other plant based dyes. I had virgin hair for the past couple of years after deciding not to have bright red hair anymore and am 50/50 salt and pepper. I am just not ready to go completely au natural after all and am not wanting to go back to red... So, I sought out my options and different companies that were plant based and 100% natural as I am allergic to traditional chemical hair dyes no matter how "friendly" they say they are (I have MCAS).

I found Radico and decided on the "wheat blonde" color with realistic expectations that having low porosity hair and being that my hair is salt and pepper.... it just may not work or at least not take the color that well right off the bat which is exactly what happened.

I wish this company had more knowledge and understanding about the plant dyes that they use in their products and especially the instructions. I've read many reviews of unhappy customers that did not have a good outcome with an expected change of color. First off, plants dyes are a whole other ball game...

Any lighter colored dyes (without henna not colorless henna, but HENNA) NEED to develop OVERNIGHT before use. So, about 9-12 hours. Also, you need something acidic to activate said dye... Mix up the dye as per the instructions to an almost honey or yogurt like consistency and then add 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the mix and stir well so that it is to a honey like consistency. Also, they say not to use boiling hot water. Please use boiling hot water since you will not be applying the dye right away. Then cover with plastic wrap! Let it set over night at room temperature on the counter for use the next morning. Then apply to your hair per instructions and cover it with the plastic cap and even Saran wrap on top of the plastic cap. Use heat periodically (this is also VERY important or use a microwavable heat cap that you can use purchased off of Amazon).

If you have low porosity hair like I do.. leave on for 7-8 hours your first time or even second time around (plan to stay home that day!). It may take up to three times to achieve the color you'd like. The first time around the color was very subtle. The second time around it was definitely more prominent! And, I will be doing it a 3rd time to achieve the color I want.

This all might sound like a major pain and too much work, but really.. it's not and it is totally worth it! You cannot replace your HEALTH! :)

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your detailed experience and knowledge about plant-based hair dyeing. Your comment is incredibly valuable—not only to us, but also to many people who are searching for a safe, chemical-free alternative and may feel uncertain about how to achieve the best results.
We truly appreciate your insights on lighter shades, dye preparation, and techniques for low-porosity hair. These details will serve as a great reference for others with similar concerns. To ensure that our customers do not face confusion or challenges, we are now working to improve our instructions—especially for lighter shades and for those whose hair is less receptive to plant dyes. We are making this a priority so that everyone can have clearer guidance and a more satisfying experience.
Your thoughtful input helps us grow and continue our mission of providing 100% organic, plant-based hair colors. We are deeply grateful for your contribution and for choosing our products.

I was a little disappointed, I purchased wheat

I was a little disappointed, I purchased wheat blonde and followed the instructions and did not get the results I was looking for , it did not cover my gray but it did make my hair softer , I have less than 30% gray hair mostly on my hair line and I having light brownish blonde hair with a little gray , what color would you recommend, that was my first time.

Thank you for trying our Wheat Blonde and for sharing your experience. We’re sorry that it did not provide the gray coverage you were hoping for on your first application.

Because our hair color is made entirely from organic herbs without chemical additives that force the color into the hair, results can vary depending on hair porosity, natural color, and the condition of the gray hair.

Since this was your first time using our hair color, we would be happy to help you find a shade that works better for your hair. Please email us at **customer-service@radicousa.com** with a few details about your hair and how you prepared, applied, rinsed, and dried the color. Our Customer Support Team can review the information and recommend a more suitable shade and application method.

We truly appreciate that you gave our natural hair color a try, and we would love the opportunity to help you achieve better gray coverage.

Love it! Great results, I need to order my 2nd

Love it! Great results, I need to order my 2nd one👍❤️

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! 🌿❤️ We’re truly happy to hear that you love the results and that you’re ready for your second order. Knowing that our organic hair color works beautifully with your hair makes our entire team very happy. Thank you for choosing Radico again! 💚

Does not dye grey hair whether I leave dye on for 1 hour or 3 1/2 hours

I have very short hair, much shorter on the sides than the top as I have a mohawk and I let the hair on the sides grow in a bit between haircuts. I have only used the dark brown color and I have dyed my hair 4 times. While the color is pleasing to me, the dye will do nothing to color my grey hair. The first time I used it I left the dye paste on my hair for 1 hour. The last time - today-I left it on my hair for 3 hours and twenty minutes and it still didn't even touch my grey hairs which are all near my hairline. Each of the four times I used the product, I blow dried around the edges of my hairline for 1-2 minutes as instructed every 15 - 20 minutes and still nothing. I loaded up the paste along the edges every time. During the second and third hair dye experiences, I even sat under a steamer cap hoping the hot steam would keep the paste moist. There was no difference in my grey hair. I love how principled the company is and love their comprehensive website with all the instructions and how to tell if hair is porous , and how incredible clean and healthy and humanely sourced their products are. I wish I could continue patronizing their company but if the product doesn't work for me and doesn't do what they say it will do, I'll have to move on. Very disappointing!

Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We especially appreciate your kind words about our ingredients, sourcing, and the information we provide on our website.

We’re truly sorry that Dark Brown did not cover the gray hair around your hairline, even after four careful applications. In some people, newly grown gray hair at the roots has a particularly tight, healthy cuticle structure, which can make it difficult for 100% herbal pigments to penetrate. While this does not happen to everyone, we do hear from a small number of customers who experience difficulty coloring this specific area.

Your experience is very important to us. We will continue researching better preparation and application methods specifically for resistant gray roots so that customers with this hair type can achieve better results with our completely additive-free herbal color.

We sincerely appreciate the time and effort you put into trying different application methods, and your feedback will help us improve both our instructions and our products. Thank you for giving Radico such a fair and thoughtful evaluation despite your disappointing results. 🌿

Great coverage and pleasant scent.

Tried other henna brands but none of them worked. When I discovered Radico I was not sure how the color will come out. First I tried Champagne Blonde which covered my grey hair well but the all over color was a little too light. Next I tried Beige blonde and it came out just the way I wanted to. The greys are light blonde and the rest of my hair darker beige and golden. The color smella very pleasant ( my cats are very attracted to it ). I am very happy to have discovered Radico colors since they are natural and none irritating.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! 🌿 We’re delighted that you found the right shade for your hair and that Beige Blonde gave you the natural combination of lighter blonde grays with deeper beige and golden tones you were looking for.

We’re also very happy to hear that you enjoyed the natural herbal scent — and that your cats seem to enjoy it too! Since our colors contain only herbs with no added fragrance, the scent comes directly from the plants themselves. We know that the natural grassy aroma isn’t for everyone, so it’s especially nice to hear that you found it pleasant.

Thank you for discovering Radico and giving our organic herbal colors a chance. It means a lot to our entire team to know that you found a color that works beautifully for you. 💚

This hair color DOES NOT WORK!!!!

This hair color does not break me out but is terrible and doesn’t color my hair at ALL! I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone or ever buy it again. I’ve tried it 3 times and haven’t had good results in turning my grey black!!!

Thank you for trying our Men's Soft Black and for sharing your honest feedback. We're very sorry to hear that it didn't color your gray hair as expected.

Because our hair color is made from 100% natural herbs with no chemical additives, the final result can vary depending on individual hair type and the condition of the hair during application.

For first-time customers who do not achieve the expected results, we offer either a complimentary replacement (the same shade or another shade) or a full refund. Please contact us at customer-service@radicousa.com, and we'll be happy to help you find the best solution.

We sincerely appreciate that you gave our product a try and look forward to making this right for you.

I like that this product is all natural, but the

I like that this product is all natural, but the color is not brown enough. I left my color on for an hour and 20 minutes and followed directions with the boiling water and using the hair dryer a couple times during application. I also reapplied a couple days after first application. My color faded quickly even though I have rinsed and not washed my hair.

Hi Tina, thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad you appreciate the natural ingredients, and we're sorry the color didn't meet your expectations. Feel free to reach out if you'd like any tips or assistance with your next application!hank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciate our 100% natural ingredients.

We’re sorry that the color wasn’t the shade you were hoping for. Because our herbal hair color contains no chemical additives, the final result can vary depending on each person’s hair type and how well the herbal pigments are able to penetrate the hair. Some hair types also hold the color differently.

Since this was your first purchase, we’d be happy to either send you a darker shade at no charge or issue a full refund. Please contact us at customer-service@radicousa.com, and we’ll be happy to help you find the shade that works best for your hair.

Muy bueno y al natural 👌

Me funciono muy bien... lo volveré a repetir

Thank you so much for your kind words!
We’re delighted to hear that our product worked well for you and that you enjoyed the natural results. Knowing that you plan to use it again makes our entire team very happy. Thank you for trusting our organic herbal products, and we look forward to being part of your healthy hair journey for years to come. ✨

Color that lasts

It's a nice product, when applying I noticed it doesn't have any harsh chemical smell. Be prepared to commit two hours for the process. After the first application your hair will turn orange but during the second you will achieve your desired shade. Trust the process.
They did recommend wrapping the beard in plastic but I didn't have any at home. It would have been nice if it was included with the packet. Something form fitting that contours to the jaw line.
Overall I would give it 4.5 out of 5.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!

We're delighted to hear that you achieved the color you were looking for and appreciated the fact that our beard color contains no harsh chemical odors. You're absolutely right—natural herbal coloring is a process, and trusting that process is often rewarded with beautiful, long-lasting results.

We also appreciate your suggestion about including a beard wrap or form-fitting cover for the jawline. Feedback like yours helps us improve our products, and we will certainly consider it as a future product enhancement idea.

Thank you again for sharing your experience and for helping us make our products even better.

did not receive the gloves with the package

no gloves ?

Thank you for your comment. The disposable gloves and other application items are packed inside the product package, not in the outer shipping envelope.

However, because the kits are packed by hand, there is a small possibility that the gloves were accidentally not included. If your Dark Brown package did not contain the plastic gloves, please contact us at customer-service@radicousa.com and we will send you a replacement Dark Brown package right away.

Do your research and NO IT DOESN'T FADE

As much as they may have tried to help, customer service that answered my questions were wrong about this key piece of information - this DOES NOT FADE as I was told several times. I never would have tried had I known. The colors no matter what I have done after the initial color has come out red. And when I checked back I was told they could not help me anymore and I was referred to the director but I never heard back (as of yet). It is a bummer because I was growing out my gray and now I have to start again BUT I also have hair that looks terrible.

Thank you for your honest feedback, and we’re very sorry for your experience.
We sincerely apologize that our explanation about how the color develops and fades was not clear enough. Because our hair color uses natural plant pigments that bind inside the hair, it can behave differently than expected, and in some cases may not fade as easily as anticipated.
Thanks to your feedback, we have updated our website—especially the top page—to include more detailed information so future customers can better understand how the color works before using it. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
We’re also very sorry that you did not receive a follow-up response as expected. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve and better support our customers.

Different browns

I do love the products but I am struggling with the colors I purchase and they all turn my hair to a reddish color. My natural color is brown although the grey has taken over. I started with light brown and it turned out almost all red. I contacted Radico and they suggested go to brown which I did. I had mostly brown hair but then it turned to a lot of red. I contacted Radico again and they suggested dark brown. I loved the color and had a little red but after a few weeks I had a lot of red again. I don't like the red streaks in it. Any suggestions as how to achieve just brown hair. I am okay if it turns out a lighter brown or dark brown, I just want brown with no red in it. I love how natural your products are I have also used the conditioners and bar soap, I just need help in obtaining a color without any red in it.

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience and for your continued support of our natural products—we truly appreciate it.

When using plant-based hair color, red tones can sometimes appear more strongly if the henna develops more intensely, or if the indigo component does not fully oxidize. Indigo needs moisture in the hair during the first few days after dyeing to complete its transformation into deeper brown or black shades. If the hair tends to dry quickly, the color may shift toward red more noticeably.
To better help you achieve your ideal shade of brown without the red tones, we would love to know more about your hair’s texture and porosity (for example, whether your hair holds moisture well or dries out quickly). This will help us provide you with more personalized guidance so that we can get closer to the rich, natural brown you’re looking for.
We’re here to support you until you find a color you truly love.

Five stars at least!

Absolutely love this product. Love the color and it conditions the hair beautifully.

Thank you so much for your wonderful five-star review! We’re truly delighted that you love the color and that it also helped condition and smooth your hair. Knowing our product supports both beauty and hair health makes our entire team very happy. We deeply appreciate your kind words!

Champagne blonde

This did not work for my hair at all. I am a light blonde and this provided no gray coverage at all for me.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Champagne Blonde.
We’re sorry to hear that it didn’t provide the gray coverage you were hoping for. Because our 100% organic herbal hair color contains no chemical additives, the results can vary depending on individual hair texture and tone—especially for first-time users.
We’d be happy to send you a complimentary shade that’s one level deeper to help improve coverage.
Please contact us at customer-service@radicousa.com, and we’ll assist you right away to ensure you find a natural color that works beautifully for your hair.

Headache after applying - soft black color

The color worked and it covered my greys and turned my hair black. But I developed a headache after applying the hair color and only reduced after I washed my hair off with soap the next day. I have applied henna and indigo before with other brands, but never developed a headache before. Would not apply again.

Thank you for sharing your experience with our product. We’re sorry to hear that you experienced a headache after using our herbal hair color.

While we have received reports of allergic reactions such as skin redness and eczema from customers with indigo allergies, this is the first time we have received a report of headaches occurring without any associated dermatitis from our products. We understand that similar headache-only symptoms have been reported with other herbal hair color products as well.

For first-time customers, if the product does not suit you, we offer a refund. Additionally, if you experience a reaction to indigo, we will provide an indigo-free hair color free of charge.

Leaves a film

I wanted to love this shampoo bar, but it just isn't right for my hair. I really wish I hadn't bought five bars, as now I have five bars of shampoo I won't use. I tried an apple cider vinegar rinse, using hardly any shampoo, Hot water to rinse, and Warm water to rinse. It left my hair heavy, limp, and with a film. I have used different bar shampoos over the last few years, and this one is definitely not right for me.

Fresh new look!!

I loved the fresh lift of color it gave me. It also covered my grays pretty well. I will definitely use this again!!
