Ontzetten aangenaam verast! Mijn kleur en haar ziet er veel beter uit na twee keer gebruiken.

I have very dark hair with about 5% of stubborn greys. I can not use conventional hair dye due to an allergy to PPD. Khadi Hazel is very good, covers the grey very well and once dyed, the colour seems pretty permanent, although it gradually fades. Hazel is actually much lighter than my original hair colour but there are reasons I choose this colour: - I quite like the 'Highlight' effect by dyeing greys with slightly lighter colour. It looks actually much more natural and does not cause the dreaded 'Helmet' look. - I like the colour of Khadi Hazel, which is very natural, sort of very dark beige rather than brown. It is not orange nor Bordeaux colour. - I have used Khadi Ash Brown but this colour tends to turn more Bordeaux, a little too much purple for me. Also due to the large quantity of Indigo, it makes my hair very dry and brittle to touch. Also Indigo doesn't dye hair as well as Henna, that is why Khadi recommends dyeing the hair first with pure henna then dye again with darker colours （more indigo) such as Ashbrown and Darkbrown. I don't really fancy neither the idea of double dyeing (so time consuming...) nor the orange undertone on my hair from pure henna. I find it is vital to have the mixture quite runny and a lot of it. it seems more paste on hair means better result. For stubborn greys I put extra paste and put a piece of clingfilm like a patch. Then I wear a disposable plastic shower cap and a silver thermal cap over it. It is also vital to wear disposable plastic gloves when you dye, rinse but also for the first few shampoos, otherwise your nails get dyed too.

Khadis naturliga hårfärger är bäst. Inte lika bra som traditionell hårfärg men om man vill undvika kemikalier så är Khadi bäst.

Hair gets thicker for a while. I fell helps to not break.

I was looking for an alternative to permanent or semi permanent hair dye which I felt damaged my hair and is toxic. I researched henna and am thrilled to have found Khadi! First, I use their clarifying charcoal shampoo, then I use the henna and rinse with their conditioner. As suggested, I follow up with their recommended oil. I absolutely love the results-the medium brown color and it makes my hair so shiny! It is a more involved process than drugstore dye. For the color I desire, I have to leave it in for an hour as opposed to 20 minutes. It’s also a bit gloppy to apply at first and there is a very earthy plant smell for a day or two but I prefer that over the toxic smell of traditional dye that uses a heavy perfume as a cover up. My hair is so much healthier now and the color is beautiful. For reference, I am a natural medium brown with some hints of gray at the temples. After a month or so, my temples fade to more of a light reddish brown. When needed, I freshen up the roots with a half box application. Occasionally, i use a full box to freshen up my entire head. The overall color is a beautiful warm brown with hints of auburn.
