Preparation tips:
In a large bowl, gradually add hot water (< 50°) to the powder to obtain a relatively thick paste. Be careful not to use metal utensils. Before applying to the hair, let the mixture rest, covered with plastic film, for 1 to 2 hours so that the colour develops, except for indigo (which must be added at the last moment) and mixtures containing it. Indeed, after 2 hours, indigo no longer develops its natural pigments.
Quantities to be used as an indication:
For short hair: from 50 to 100g of powder
For medium-long hair (shoulders): from 150 to 200g of powder
For long hair (mid-back): from 200 to 250g of powder
For very long hair (half hips): from 300 to 500g of powder
Application tips:
Apply the mixture strand by strand in a thick layer to preferably washed hair. When the hair is well impregnated, wrap it in plastic film and leave it on. Keep your head warm with a towel. The application time is very variable depending on the porosity, hair colour and the desired result (from 1h to 12h).
Rinse the hair thoroughly with clear water until all residues are removed. The final result of the color will only be visible two to three days after application, the time for the color to oxidize. Do not shampoo within 24 to 48 hours after application to ensure optimal color.
Beauty tip:
We advise you to use the raspberry vinegar no-rinse detangling lotion which will allow to close the hair scales and thus fix the colour more firmly while bringing shine and suppleness. Thereafter, it is advisable to use an organic and sulphate-free shampoo that will avoid drying out your hair in order to keep your colour longer.
