Colour guide and expectations

• The natural pigment: Pure henna contains the natural dye lawsone, a rich orange to red dye.
• The ultimate grey primer: Acts as the essential first step in the highly effective two-step dye process for covering stubborn grey hair before applying pure indigo.
• Custom shade blending: Can be mixed in various ratios with our pure indigo or pure cassia powders to achieve a wide array of customized shades, ranging from blonde (on grey hair) to warm light auburns to deep, rich browns and black.
• Zero chemical bleaching: Pure henna cannot lighten hair.
• Light hair results: Transforms grey, blonde, or light brown hair into a vibrant orange, copper, or deep auburn shade.
• Dark hair results: Creates a subtle, beautiful red highlight visible in direct sunlight on dark brown or black hair.
• Natural variance: As a 100% natural product, minor colour variations may occur between batches. This applies to both the appearance of the dry powder and the final dye shade achieved.

This henna comes with a comprehensive step-by-step instruction leaflet. For the best results, please read the instructions carefully and follow them closely.

The henna indigo colour synergy
Henna and indigo balance each other out when dyeing hair in shades of brown to black:

• Too orange: If your hair ‘takes’ the henna very well and starts becoming too orangey, adding more indigo to your mixture or doing an application of pure indigo will adjust the colour back to brown.
• Too blue, green, or purple: If your hair ‘takes’ the indigo more and starts developing a blue/green/purplish sheen, adding more henna to your mixture or doing an application of pure henna will adjust the colour back to brown.

Mixing with indigo
Customize your brown to black shade by blending this henna with Love My Hair indigo powder:

• Medium brown: 50% henna, 50% indigo.
• Dark brown: 20–30% henna, 70–80% indigo.
• Black: To achieve a black colour, particularly on grey hair, it is recommended to do the 2-step dye process using first our pure henna followed by our pure indigo.
• Body art: Mix henna powder with pure lemon juice or 50:50 lemon juice and water. Let it stand for a few hours for dye release. To achieve a darker colour result mix a small amount of indigo powder into your henna paste just before use.

Mixing with cassia
Create blond, strawberry blond and copper shades on grey/white and naturally blond hair by mixing this henna with Love My Hair cassia powder:

• Light blond: 95 – 98% cassia, 5 – 2% henna
• Strawberry blond: 90 – 95% cassia, 10 –5% henna

Note: Cassia and henna must not be used on chemically lightened hair. Cassia and henna will not lighten darker hair to a blond shade.
