Light Ash Blonde - Organic Hair Color
$22.95
Light Ash Blonde
Colour Me Organic Premium
Certified Organic Hair Color 3.5oz
A soft, light ash from six organic herbs. Colourless henna leads the ingredient list — a herb that barely tints — with indigo second and a little henna third.
That henna is what separates this from our other ash shades, which have none at all. Just enough warmth under the blue to keep the ash from reading cold.

Which ash shade?
All four of our ash shades put indigo over a light base. What differs is how much indigo, and whether there is any henna underneath it.
- Darkest Ash — indigo second, nothing diluting it, no henna. The deepest and coolest.
- Ash Blonde — indigo second, colourless henna above it, no henna.
- Light Ash Blonde — indigo second, colourless henna above it, and a little henna third. The softest of the four.
- Dark Ash — indigo fifth, four pigment-free herbs ahead of it, no henna. The lightest of the four, despite the name.

What kind of colour this is
An ash tone is blue over a light base. Our other three ash shades leave henna out entirely, because henna's warm red under a blue reads brown rather than ash.
This one keeps a little. Colourless henna leads the list and keeps the shade light; indigo comes second and gives the blue; henna sits third, adding just enough warmth that the result reads soft rather than cold.
- Powder-based organic colour for men and women
- Certified organic by ECOCERT
- No peroxide, ammonia, PPD, parabens or synthetic pigment
- Contains indigo — there is a blue-green cast at the first rinse, and it settles over 48 hours
- Contains a small amount of henna — unlike our other ash shades
- Works best on blonde, light brown, highlighted or greying hair
- At-home application, no developer to mix
- Not suitable for anyone with a known indigo or plant-dye allergy — patch test first
What to expect
- Right after rinsing — slightly blue or green. That's the indigo before it has met the air. Expected.
- Over 48 hours — the tone settles.
- Day three — judge your colour here, not on the first evening.
Do not blow-dry. Not while the paste is on, and not for the first 24 hours after rinsing. Dry the paste and nothing transfers; dry the hair afterwards and the colour stalls at the blue-green stage. Shower cap while it processes, air-dry after.

Ingredients
Six certified organic herbs. Ingredient lists run in order of quantity: colorless henna leads — a herb that barely tints — with indigo second and a little henna third. That henna is what separates this from our other ash shades, which have none at all. Just enough warmth to keep the ash from reading cold.
Important: this shade contains indigo, which a small number of people react to. Patch test before use, especially if you have sensitive skin or have reacted to plant dyes before. Stop use if irritation occurs. 100% organic. Made in India.
FAQ
Yes. Indigo is second on the ingredient list — it is the blue in an ash tone. If you have a known indigo or plant-dye sensitivity, don't use it. If you're unsure, patch test and wait 48 hours.
Darkest Ash, Dark Ash and Ash Blonde contain no henna at all. Light Ash Blonde does — third on the list, below the indigo. That small amount of warmth is what keeps this ash soft rather than cold, and it also means the colour bonds to the keratin the way our henna shades do, so it holds a little longer than the henna-free ones.
No — that is expected. Indigo arrives as a colourless precursor and oxidizes in air; before that reaction has run, it reads blue-green. It settles over the next 48 hours. Judge your colour on day three, not on the first evening.
Only as a soft cool cast. Plant pigment adds and never lifts, so on medium brown hair this reads as a light ash tint and on anything darker it won't show as a colour change. If your hair is darker and you want a visible ash, Darkest Ash Blonde carries the most indigo of our ash shades.
Not while the paste is on, and not for the first 24 hours after rinsing. Warmth helps the colour along, which is why a shower cap works so well — it holds warmth and moisture together. A hair dryer gives you the warmth and takes the moisture, and moisture is what carries the pigment onto the fibre and lets the reaction finish. Force-drying leaves the colour stalled at the blue-green stage.
Not on this shade. The vinegar trick works on henna-based colours with no indigo in them, where mild acidity helps release lawsone from the leaf. There is indigo here, second on the list, and acidity holds indigo back — so it would cost you as much as it gained.
It is designed to be light — colourless henna leads the ingredient list, ahead of both herbs that carry colour. Beyond that, resistant or low-porosity hair takes it slowly. Two things help: start on genuinely clean hair with no conditioner or silicone, and give it a full hour rather than the minimum. A second application a few days later builds more depth than extending the first one.
It blends grey into a soft ash rather than covering it. Grey takes plant pigment readily — it has no melanin of its own to compete — so on lighter hair with greys the result blends. On darker hair the greys will take the tone while the rest barely changes, which reads as highlights rather than uniform coverage.
Typically about 30–45 days, depending on your hair type and washing routine. Because there is henna in this shade, part of the colour is bonded to the keratin rather than held in the outer layers — so it holds a little longer than our henna-free ash shades. Strong or clarifying shampoos, frequent washing and very hot water all shorten it.
No. This is a non-oxidative plant colour with no peroxide or ammonia-type lightening agents, so it deposits colour rather than lifting your natural pigment. A lighter result requires starting with a lighter base.
Tell us. This shade takes a couple of days to settle, so give it three days first. First-time customers who don't get the result they expected can have a different shade sent free, or a full refund on the colour.
It's made from certified organic herbs with no synthetic additives, but any colour product can irritate some people, and indigo in particular causes reactions in a small number. Patch test before full application, especially with sensitive skin or a history of reactions to plant dyes. Stop use if irritation occurs.

The US Pouch
Ordered as Needed, Flown In, Shipped Fresh
Every pouch we sell is handled the same way, from the factory in India to your door, so that it reaches you as close to freshly made as we can manage — and so all 24 shades stay in stock.
1 · In India
Sealed at the factory
Dried, blended, vacuum-packed
The herbs are dried and blended at the factory and vacuum-sealed there, while the powder is fresh. Air is what ages plant powder — henna's pigment breaks down with oxygen, and air-exposed powder smells much stronger.
2 · On the way
Flown in
By the pallet, by air
Each shade is ordered in units of 25, and the shades due for restocking are combined into a pallet of about 1,000 pouches, flown to Torrance, California — days in the air instead of months at sea.
3 · In Torrance
Checked monthly
Each shade, on its own schedule
We check every shade's sales each month and forecast demand from our sales history, with the help of AI. When a shade drops below three to six months of stock, we order about a year to eighteen months' worth — enough to stay in stock, not so much that it sits.
4 · To your door
18 months+
Left on every pouch we send
We ship the oldest stock first, and take any batch with less than 18 months left out of sale. Every order arrives with at least 18 months before its expiry date.
✓5 years unopened, from manufacture — set with room to spare
✓Batch, MFG and EXP printed on every pouch
