About this product

Desert Shadow Organic Hair Colour Deep Red Shadow 100g is a certified organic plant-based hair colour for shoppers wanting a deep copper-red result without bleach, peroxide, ammonia or PPD. It can give a deep fire red result on grey, light blonde and dark blonde hair, add a cherry-burgundy tone to light to medium brown hair, and create a red reflex effect on dark brown to black hair in sunlight.

The formula uses henna, cassia and aloe vera plant powders to colour and condition in one step. Because plant colour works with your natural base shade, the final result depends on your starting colour, hair history, processing time and repeat applications. It will not lighten hair.

Allow about 1 hour for non-grey coverage, or 1.5 to 3 hours for grey coverage. Short hair and root touch-ups may use around half a pack, medium hair usually uses one pack, and long or thick hair may need more. Once the lengths have reached the shade you like, use future applications mainly on the roots and refresh the lengths every fourth or fifth application.

Colour note: Always do a strand test first. Colour-resistant hair may need longer processing, and this shade is not recommended if you plan to bleach or lighten your hair blonde later.

Directions for use

Mix with about 250ml warm water or herbal tea at 30-40 degrees C to form a smooth paste. Add a further 20-40ml warm water only if required. Apply evenly to clean hair, cover to keep the paste moist and process for the time needed for your hair type and desired result. Rinse thoroughly. Always follow the pack instructions and complete a strand test before full application.

Warnings & suitability

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not apply to eyelashes or eyebrows. Conduct a strand test before use and a skin sensitivity test if you are prone to reactions. This product will not lighten hair because it contains no bleach or peroxide. Not recommended if you plan to bleach or lighten your hair blonde in the future. Keep out of reach of children.

Storage

Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use the prepared mixture immediately after mixing.
