Radico, an organic hair dye, uses Ayurvedic botanicals to penetrate and strengthen hair.

Instead of using chemical dyes that may damage your hair, Radico lets you choose natural shades and focus on hair health. Long-term use will yield vivid, lustuous, youthful looking hair.

Radico's hair colours are 100% organically certified with USDA, ECOCERT, MadeSafe and Vegan Trademark. The Colour Me Organic Henna collection is made with ayurvedic, natural, and organic herbs.

Violet Colour consists of:

• Manjistha Root Powder (Rubia Cordifolia)
• Indigo Leaf Powder (Indigofera Tinctoria)
• Hibiscus Flower Powder (Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis)
• Methi Seed Powder (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum)

It is ideal for those people who are sensitive and allergic to synthetic chemicals. It is a PPD free hair color.

4. Cover hair with shower cap.
5. Wait at least 60 minutes before rinsing. (Optional: Use a hair dryer on the covered hair for 2 minutes in 15-minute intervals.) You may choose to leave it in until 3 hours.

Application Limitation:

Radico Hair Colour paste should be applied on freshly washed and completely dried hair. Any product with chemical residue or moisture left in hair before application will interfere with achieving best results and/or can cause adverse reactions.

Use Limitation:

Radico Hair Colour is a semi-permanent hair colour. The colour lasts for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the health and condition of hair. The more you use the product the longer the product tends to last with each application.

Colour Pigment Limitation:

Radico Hair Colour utilizes only plant pigments, so it lacks the intensity of chemical dyes. It will not colour hair that is darker than the pigment of the product.

Troubleshooting of Colour

If you've ever dyed your hair with natural hair color and noticed it turning more blue, green, turquoise or rrange than you expected, don't worry, you're not alone. This occurrence is quite common and completely normal. The reason behind this phenomenon is the presence of indigo or henna pigments found in many dark shades of natural hair dyes. These pigments can give your hair an unexpected blueish or orangish hue, which might differ from your initial expectations.

• Troubleshooting orangish tone - apply pure indigo powder paste to remove orangish tone and get dark brown colour.
• Troubleshooting purple tone - apply pure natural henna powder paste to remove purple tone and get dark brown or soft black colour

Note - With regular use (second or third application) of the desired Radico Hair Colour, this kind of problem may not arise further.
