Natural-Looking Soft Black
Discover the exquisite allure of Soft Black—a captivating hue meticulously crafted from 100% organic botanicals. Experience the magic of our best-selling shade that transcends even the darkest browns, giving you the perfect canvas to embrace a natural black hair color like never before.
But did you know that what we often call “black” hair is, in fact, an intensified form of dark brown? While some people appear to have jet-black strands, there is rarely a true black pigment. Instead, higher concentrations of eumelanin oxidize into a deeply dark shade that can vary based on genetics, sunlight, and other environmental factors. This creates gorgeous undertones, ranging from deep chestnut to warm coffee hues.
Because truly black hair is essentially a very dark brown, our Soft Black color is formulated to accentuate this natural depth—intensifying dark brown into a richer, darker tone without appearing harsh or artificial. The result? A beautifully authentic look that stays true to nature, all while nourishing your hair with gentle, plant-based goodness.
Why is the soft Black dyed color different for each person?
Our organic herbs formula blends seamlessly with your hair tone using nature's power. Because it is a vegetable dye without additives, the color of the dye may vary slightly based on the original hair color and the health of the hair. Experience the beauty of a color transformation that complements your natural shade. Say goodbye to uniformity and embrace your unique style with a captivating soft black.

Ayurvedic Herbs for Healthy Hair and Scalp

Amla is a natural storehouse of Vitamin C and antioxidants, enriched with high levels of Iron content, making it an indispensable component in hair care products. It is also rich in elements like Ellagic Acid[2] phosphorus, and Gallic Acid These work in tandem to improve blood circulation in the scalp area, stimulating hair growth and strengthening hair follicles. It is also a potent inhibitor of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone to the androgenic alopecia-causing dihydrotestosterone.[1]
BHRINGRAJ LEAF
Bhringraj can increase the size and density of hair follicles and encourage strong and healthy hair growth. Additionally, it is an effective remedy to prevent and manage hair loss and premature greying of hair. It is popularly used to enhance strength, softness, luster, and hair growth[4]. Bhringraj contains various biological components, including flavonoids, phytosterols, and coumestans. And Bhringraj is a herb that is rich in vitamins and minerals. It contains vitamins D and E, magnesium, calcium, and iron.
Manjistha Root
Manjistha is a magical herb used to treat a variety of skin and health issues. Manjitti (Rubia cordifolia), also known as Madder, Rubia root, Majith, or Manjitti, is a popular Ayurvedic herb that aids in blood purification. Manjistha Root is said to activate keratinocytes, which are epidermal cells.[5]
Active ingredient
Vitamins C
Your body needs vitamin C to create a protein known as collagen — an essential part of the hair structure. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can act as a mild clarifying agent in shampoo and can be effective in helping remove mineral buildup accumulated on the hair's surface.
ELLAGIC ACID
In nuts, vegetables, and fruits, ellagic acid was found to obstruct the production of collagen-damaging MMP enzymes and inhibit ICAM, a molecule that plays a part in inflammation.
GALIC ACID
Gallic acid is a phenolic acid found in fruits, nuts, wine, and tea. It has antioxidants and is antimicrobial.
PHOSPHORUS
One study found that l-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, which contains phosphorus, promotes hair growth by stimulating the secretion of insulin-like growth factor-1 from dermal papilla cells. [3]
FLAVONOIDS
Flavonoids are antioxidants that help reduce inflammation, redness, stress, and skin aging.
Vitamins D
Vitamin D is responsible for regulating the sebum content in the body. A deficiency could lead to an imbalance in our scalp oil levels.
Vitamins E
Vitamin E may help support a healthy scalp and hair as it has natural antioxidant effects and is a trusted source that could assist with maintaining hair growth. Like vitamin C, vitamin E is an antioxidant that can help prevent oxidative stress.
