Grey Cover: 

• The Herbal brown dye can cover grey with a more reddish than brown shade, though this depends on your hair type.
• You can mix this dye with some Love My Hair pure indigo powder to get a darker colour.
• This dye looks beautiful on hair that is ‘salt-and-pepper’ grey as the grey strands can look like coppery highlights.

Helpful hints

• You can mix the various shades to find the perfect blend for your hair.
• If products (shampoo, conditioner, wax, gel) containing silicone derivatives (eg Dimethicone) or polymers have been used on your hair, this will prevent the herbal dyes from “taking” on your hair. If silicones or polymers have been used you may need to use a clarifying shampoo before using Love My Hair dyes. Or you can switch to a silicone-free shampoo like Johnsons baby shampoo for a few washes prior to the dye application.
• If you are used to using ordinary chemical dyes, your hair may feel dry after switching to natural dye. This is normal, and a coconut oil treatment will restore moisture to your hair. Please use the organic, extra-virgin variety though.
• Herbal dyes need to oxidise after application. It can sometimes take up to 24-48 hours for your hair to attain its final colour. Please bear this in mind when planning your dye application.
• You must do a strand test before dyeing your whole head. This will determine the correct application time and give you an idea of the final colour.
• 100g is enough for one application on collar to shoulder length hair, depending on hair thickness.
• Your colour will lose intensity gradually after a few weeks, but should keep the grey coverage. Every time you use the dye the colour will get richer and more intense.
• Wait 2-4 weeks after other hair treatments before using Love My Hair.
• If your hair has been permed, bleached or straightened it is essential to do a strand test first as these treatments effect the hair structure extensively.

Directions

• Apply to freshly washed dry or slightly damp hair.
• Use a non-metallic bowl and spoon to mix the dye.
• Add between 300-380 ml of warm water to the powder and mix to a smooth consistency, similar to that of custard.
• Wearing your gloves, apply the dye to your hair in sections, starting at the roots. Apply it thickly especially on grey areas.
• Pile your hair on top of your head, cover with clingwrap and wrap a towel around your head. This keeps the dye tightly packed on your roots and also keeps your head warm which helps with dye release.
• Wipe any excess dye from your hairline and ears.
• Leave dye to develop for 1-4 hours, as determined by your strand test.
• Rinse your hair until the water runs clear (this is very important, if you don’t do this the colour may ‘bleed’ afterwards) and then shampoo and condition.
