Step 1. Preparation 10 ~ 20 Minutes
Wash and completely dry your hair to prepare for application. Remember to not use any conditioning products directly before using Radico Hair Colour.
❗️CAUTION
If conditioners and hair products remain in the hair, it will not dye properly.
If there are oils from conditioners and hair treatments, they will repel the water-based plant pigment solution, which results in a weak colour.
When too much moisture is in the hair, the pigments can not reach the cortex.
If too much water is in the hair, the plant pigment solution does not penetrate the hair, resulting in a soft colour.
Step 2. Mix 5 ~ 10 Minutes
Depending on the length of hair, portion Radico Hair Colour in the following amount:
・20 to 30g(0.7 to 1.1oz) – For short hair
・40 to 60g(1.4 to 2.1oz) – For shoulder-length hair
・70 to 100g(2.5 to 3.5oz) – For waist length hair
Take the recommended amount of powder as per hair length mentioned above.
Add warm water to Radico Hair Colour Powder in roughly 1 part powder to 3 parts water. Adjust the quantity of water to achieve a yoghurt of ketchup-like consistency. Paste should not be too thick or too thin.
❗️CAUTION
The paste must be mixed thoroughly with water to dye the hair.
If the powder is not mixed well enough, the plant pigments clump up and cannot pass through the cuticle, resulting in a soft colour.
Step 3. Application 10 ~ 20 Minutes
Starting at the roots apply paste to hair immediately after mixing. Knead the paste well into your hair.
Grey hair may require a heavier application of paste.
Use the enclosed shower cap to cover hair after paste is evenly distributed. Optionally, cover with plastic wrap.
Step 4. Penetration 60 Minutes
Wrap hair with plastic wrap or put on a shower cap. Wait at least 60 minutes after the application of the paste. Optionally, put on a fabric cap over the plastic to trap body heat. The key is to keep the paste moist and warm.
If a darker color is desired leave the paste on for a longer period of time. It is safe for paste to remain on hair for two to three hours. Heat can also be applied with a hair dryer during this time to intensify results.
Step 5. Rinse 10-20 Minutes
Thoroughly rinse hair with warm water until water runs clear. Do not use shampoo for this initial rinse.
Radico Hair Colour takes up to 24 hours for the colour to completely set. You may experience the colour deepening on the first day.
❗️CAUTION
Alkaline shampoo removes henna pigment from hair.
The pigment component of henna is Lawson. Alkaline shampoo foam removes Lawson from human hair. Soap-based shampoos sit at the higher end of the pH scale, around the 9 - 10 mark, which are out of balance with the natural pH of your hair. Soap’s alkalinity combined with the alkaline water can leave your hair tangled and waxier than ever.
Step 6. Dry 10-20 Minutes
Wrap your hair in a towel and let it dry naturally.
❗️CAUTION
Drying your hair immediately with a hair dryer can affect the colour of the indigo and henna. This can ultimately impact the depth of colour achieved from the application.
