It's Pure Natural Hair Dye - Chestnut

To check the colour, we recommend you strand test a small section of your hair before applying to your entire head. 

 

Leaving the paste on for a longer time will make the colour stronger. If you want a deeper colour, you can also build up the colour with a second application.

 

The true colour takes a few hours to develop. - When you first wash out the colour it will often not be the full depth of colour, but it will gradually darken to its true colour. - It can be likened to a cut apple - at first it the apple is white and then as it oxidises in the air it goes brown.

 

On dark brown hair this colour will probably not show up.

 

If your hair has been chemically lightened it will affect the colour result. - Chemical lighteners make your hair more porous and thus absorb the colour less predictably. 

 

There may be slight variations in colour result between different batches of Herbal Hair Colour. - The botanical ingredients can be affected by varying climatic conditions from year to year.

It’s Pure Chestnut hair dye is entirely natural and the final result depends on your initial hair colour. As a guide, you can expect the following:

If you have...	The likely result is…
White or very light blonde	Light auburn
Dark blonde	Light chestnut
Light brown	Warm medium chestnut
Medium brown	Warm chestnut undertones
Mix of light-medium brown, with grey	The grey hair will have auburn highlights and brown hair will be a richer brown

The Herbal Hair Colour powder is mixed with warm water before application. The paste is left on your hair for 0.5 to 4 hours depending on the depth of colour required.

 

We strongly recommend doing a strand test first before putting the colour all over your hair, because the colour result can be different on different people’s hair. You should wait 24 hours after the strand test to see how the colour develops, because it oxidises and darkens over time.

At CancerPal, we recommend It's Pure hair colour for people ready to colour their hair as it grows back after chemotherapy. New hair is often fine, and the scalp can stay sensitive for some time, so we look for the gentlest option rather than the strongest one.

 

It's Pure Organics powders are made from plant ingredients such as henna, cassia, amla, indigo and neem. They contain no PPD, ammonia or peroxide, and no synthetic colours or preservatives. They don't penetrate the hair shaft, so they colour the hair without harsh chemical processing. Although please be aware that they won't lighten your hair or give a dramatic colour change, and results may fade after a few washes.

 

Also it's important to note that 'natural' doesn't mean risk-free. Always patch test before every use.
