How to apply Organic Hair Dye
Here we will explain how to dye organic hair color.
Step 1. Preparation
WASH & DRY: 10 ~ 20 MINUTES
Step 1. Preparation
Before applying the plant paste, make sure to wash your hair thoroughly. If there are any coating ingredients like oil or conditioner on the surface, the plant pigments won’t be able to penetrate your hair, leading to ineffective dyeing. After washing, it’s best to have your hair slightly damp rather than too wet before applying the paste.
If your hair is healthy with perfect cuticles, not porous, and you avoid using conditioners, the color can still develop well even when applied to completely dry hair.
❗️CAUTION
If conditioners and hair products remain in the hair, it will not dye properly.
If there are oils from conditioners and hair treatment, they will repel the water-based plant pigment solution, which results in a weak color.
❗️CAUTION
Excess Moisture Can Dilute Plant Pigments
If your hair is too wet, the excess moisture both in and on the surface can dilute the plant pigments, causing the color to fade.
Step 2. Mix
Time: 5 ~ 10 minutes
Step 2. Mix
Depending on the length of hair, portion Colour Me Organic in the following amount:
・20 to 30g(0.7 to 1.1oz) – For short hair
・40 to 60g(1.4 to 2.1oz) – For shoulder-length hair
・70 to 100g(2.5 to 3.5oz) – For waist length hair
Take the recommended amount of powder as per hair length mentioned above.
Add warm water to Colour Me Organic in roughly 1 part powder to 3 parts water. Adjust the quantity of water to achieve a yogurt of ketchup like consistency. Paste should not be too thick or too thin.
❗️CAUTION
The paste must be mixed thoroughly with water to dye the hair
If the powder is not mixed well enough, the plant pigments clump up and cannot pass through the cuticle, resulting in a soft color.
Step 3. Application
Time: 10 ~ 20 minutes
Step 3. Application
Starting at the roots apply paste to hair immediately after mixing. Knead the paste well into your hair
Grey hair may require a heavier application of paste.
Use the enclosed shower cap to cover hair after paste is evenly distributed. Optionally, cover with plastic wrap.
Step 4. Peneration
Time: 1 hour
Step 4. Penetration
Wrap hair with plastic wrap or put on a shower cap. Wait at least 60 minutes after application of paste. Optionally, put on a fabric cap over the plastic to trap body heat. The key is to keep the paste moist and warm.
If a darker color is desired leave the paste on for a longer period of time. It is safe for paste to remain on hair for two to three hours. Heat can also be applied with a hair dryer during this time to intensify results.
Step 5. Rinse
Wash: 10 ~ 20 minutes
Step 5. Rinse
Thoroughly rinse hair with warm water until water runs clear. Do not use shampoo for this initial rinse.
Colour Me Organic takes up to 24 hours for the color to completely set. You may experience the color deepening on the first day.
❗️CAUTION
Alkaline shampoo removes henna pigment from hair.
The pigment component of henna is Lawson. Alkaline shampoo foam removes Lawson from human hair. Soap sits at the higher end of the pH scale, around the 9 - 10 mark. Soap-based shampoo bars are out of balance with the natural pH of your hair. Soap’s alkalinity combined with the alkaline water can leave your tresses tangled and waxier than ever.
