Phitofilos Black Henna, 100 g

Pure black Henna (Indigofera tinctoria). Suitable for dark brown and brown hair (40-90 minutes contact time) and grey coverage. If more than 20-30% of the hair is white, a double dyeing for cover and gloss is recommended: a first colouring with red henna for about 10-20 minutes, and only the second time with black henna for about 40-60 minutes. The first step provides a good primer for the white hair, while the second produces the desired colour with the dark tones for a colour result between eggplant and dark copper. In light brown hair, the hair will accept shades of maroon. It takes several hours after the dyeing process to see the colour because of the final oxidation process. Always pay attention to the method of administration!

• The use of colouring plant powder is an ancient art. The dyeing process is an interaction between hair and vegetable dyes. This means that the results are truly unique. The secret to an extraordinary result is in the execution and an even application.
• Natural hair colours are a true wellness treatment with regard to the environment. Herbal powders dye, lend luster and protect hair in a natural way.

Application:

• Mix the required amount of powder, preferably in a bowl and using a non-metallic spoon, with hot water to obtain a creamy paste.
• Any form of acidic additives such as vinegar, yoghurt, lemon juice, etc. should be avoided at all costs.
• Allow the paste to rest for 5-10 minutes and stir from it time to time.
• Apply generously to clean, towel-dried hair using a brush or your hands. Always wear gloves when doing so!
• To avoid unsightly discolouration on the scalp, it is recommended to treat it with a thin layer of oil or cream before starting the colouring process. Once the paste is evenly distributed throughout the hair, from the roots to the lengths, carefully cover the hair with cling film or a cap and allow the colour to take effect for 40 to 120 minutes, depending on the desired colour intensity.
• At the end of the application time, rinse the hair thoroughly with water.
• The hair can then be dried as usual.
