Love My Hair 100% Herbal Hair Dye - Soft Black

Get healthy black locks with this natural hair dye formula in Soft Black. Love My Hair dye is free of peroxide, PPDs, ammonia and other harsh chemicals; instead, it’s made with a blend of colouring herbs like henna, indigo and amla. That means it’s very gentle on your hair and scalp, and your planet too.

• Permanent to semi-permanent dye depending on hair type and lifestyle.
• The indicated colour is a general guide. Colour coverage and final colour will depend on your hair type, hair condition, previous treatments and lifestyle.
• Eco-friendly and 100% vegan.
• Certified Organic. 
• Approved by Beauty without Cruelty and Vegan SA.
• Certified Halaal.
• 100 grams of dye powder is enough for two applications on short hair.

Grey Cover: 

• The Herbal Soft Black dye is a good shade for covering grey.
• However, several applications may be needed to achieve a dark colour on grey hair.
• Mixing this dye with some Love My Hair pure indigo powder can help tremendously with grey coverage.
• The more applications you do, the darker your hair will get.
• When washing out the dye after application, just rinse it well, leave it for 24 hours and then use the gentle shampoo sachet or a conditioner to ‘wash’ your hair. This will give the dye a chance to develop on your hair.

Helpful hints:

• For best results and for longer-lasting colour use with a sulphate-free shampoo.
• You can mix this dye with the other Love My Hair shades to make a unique colour for your hair.
• If you are not allergic to chemical hair dyes you can mix this dye with the Love My Hair Low Chemical black or dark brown for darker grey coverage.
• If you are used to using ordinary chemical dyes, your hair may feel dry after switching to natural dye. This is normal, and a conditioning treatment with a cold-pressed plant oil such as coconut, olive, argan, black cumin or jojoba oil will remedy it.
• 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.
• Every time you dye your hair it will get darker and darker.
• It is not recommended to use this dye on highlighted/bleached hair.
• It is not recommended to bleach your hair after using this dye.

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.
