Description: Khadi Herbal Hair Colour Medium Blond lends grey hair a medium blond to medium red-blond shade, depending on the how long the plant dye is kept on the hair. The colour is long-lasting and does not fade. Blond and medium blond hair becomes darker, due to the addition of the natural colours included in the plant dye composition. Dark hair is condition but no visible colour change occurs. Does not lighten the hair! Contains no chemical additives, no preservatives or artificial colours. To note: The longer the exposure time, the more intense and darker the colour outcome. The longer the exposure time, the more red components are deposited on the hair and the color outcome is strawberry blonde. The higher the temperature of the mixing liquid, the yellower the colour outcome. Therefore, using a temperature of the 50 °C is optimal and should not be increased. When used frequently, the additional colour glaze can darker the colour outcome. When used frequently, it is recommended to dye only the roots. Every fourth treatment can be used to dye all the hair. Tips: For a more intense colour, without red components, it is recommended to apply a second colour treatment directly after the first application, as opposed to extending the exposure time of the first application. We do not recommend the addition of acids (apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, etc.), as the colour outcome may result in a more intense shade of red.

Please keep this in mind when first using Khadi plant dyes. Herbal additives, that are also used in Ayurveda, strengthen the hair supplying it with extraordinary shine. For healthy and shiny hair with the power of nature. Please note that all Khadi’s hair dyes are to be used on the hair of the head. Khadi hair dye colour effect The hair dyes by Khadi provide your tresses with a long-lasting tint (excluding Senna / Cassia). Therefore it is recommended to do a strand test beforehand to ensure that the desired colour result is achieved. More information about the strand test will be listed further below. The pigments of plant hair dyes wrap themselves like a glaze or stain around each strand. This means that the colour result is very much dependent on your natural hair colour, which results in unique colour reflections. Several hair dye applications, therefore, result in a more intense outcome. Plant hair dyes do not lighten the hair. Once a suitable colour has been chosen we recommend first applying the plant hair dye to the roots to ensure that it blends with the colour of the lengths of the hair. If a dye has been applied to the lengths of the hair it is possible that the roots will appear lighter, due to having undergone less colour application, i.e. the lengths of the hair may possibly appear more intense in colour over time. More about dyeing the roots can be found further below. All Khadi hair dyes can be mixed with one another. These mixture ratios are dependent on your desired colour outcome, natural hair colour and structure of the hair. Variations in hair structure The structure of each hair in regard to a specific hair type differs from one another. Not only is it essential to consider the natural structure of your hair - fine, thick, curly, shiny, healthy, etc. - it is also essential to note how the hair was cared for until now. Chemically treated hair, especially bleached hair is often dry, brittle and damaged. Split ends cause the hair to look dull and in need of special care. In addition to your hair colour, determining the structure of the hair is crucial for your colour result. Thus, chemically treated hair and/or fine hair may take on a more intense shade when dyed as opposed to e.g. naturally strong and healthy hair. If you are unsure about the structure of your hair, it is advised to start with a shorter reaction time that you may be used to when performing a strand test. Before use: Strand test In order to avoid unwanted colour results, it is recommended to perform a strand test before your first Khadi hair dye application. Gather a few hair strands from your hairbrush and place them in a small amount of pre-mixed plant dye. Seal the bowl shut and store in a warm area. Test various reactions times by removing a strand from the bowl every 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. Cleanse each strand carefully using lukewarm water. Wait up to 48 hours after performing the strand test to determine the true colour result. Plant dyes may be influenced and affected by the surrounding air during this time, resulting in a more intense shade. What you’ll need to start colouring: The following utensils should be within reach: Khadi hair dye, suitably sized bowl, warm water,disposable gloves, old towel to protect your clothing,application brush, shower cap, towel or turban to keep the paste warm, Optimum prep for your hair. Start off by cleansing your hair using a mild shampoo (e.g. Khadi’s Amla Herbal Shampoo). Please note that many conventional hair care products contain silicones. Silicones are used to wrap around the strands like a film, making the hair appear shinier and healthier. In time, the hair strand is completely wrapped in silicone making it unable to absorb any other hair care products or dyes - the use of plant hair dyes are also strongly affected. It is, therefore, essential to use only silicone-free hair care products before applying a Khadi plant hair dye. If you are uncertain as to whether or not your current hair care products contain silicones (Khadi Shampoos are of course silicone-free) it is advised to cleanse the hair with a peeling shampoo or clarifying clay before applying the hair dye. Now the hair is optimally prepared for colouration. Use Khadi’s plant hair dyes on towel-dried hair to ensure even distribution. Mixing plant hair dyes Carefully stir the required amount of powder with warm water until a uniform paste is formed (shoulder-length hair requires 80 - 100 g of powder). Please avoid inhaling the powder. Tip: When using the Khadi dyes Pure Henna, Henna, Amla, Jatropha or Henna + Amla use hot instead of warm water ( 60 - 80°C), as these colours become more intense when mixed with hot instead of warm water. The dye is ready for use as soon as it has cooled down to a pleasant temperature. Do not apply the hot paste to your head as this may damage your scalp. Applying plant hair colours Before applying the plant dye, ensure that your clothes are protected - stains are very hard to remove, if removable at all. It is also essential to use disposable gloves, as the colour will leave stains on your fingernails especially which only washes out gradually. It is best to apply the warm paste strand by strand using an application brush. Start at the roots of your head and work your way to the lengths of the hair. Parting the hair and securing the sections using hair grips will facilitate to ensuring that each and every strand is saturated with dye. Distribute the remaining hair dye by massaging with your fingers. This will help with the even distribution of the dye. Once all the hair has been coated, put on a plastic shower cap to create sufficient heat. Als, ensure that the areas at the temples and the neck are covered. The dry should not dry on the skin. A towel or turban can be wrapped around the plastic cap to ensure that the heat is locked in ( You could also use a woollen hat or electric heating cap for heating purposes ). A warm paste will result in a more intense colour result.
