Radico Mens Soft Black Organic Hair Colour 100g

How to use it

1. Start with clean hair, free of conditioner, oil or styling product. Dry hair is best; towel-dried damp hair also works.
2. Mix the powder with warm water into a smooth, yogurt-like paste. Do not add vinegar or lemon juice.
3. Apply evenly, grey areas first. Cover with the shower cap and leave on for 60 to 90 minutes.
4. Rinse with water only. The first rinse looks green. That is the indigo before it has finished forming, and it is the normal starting point.
5. Air-dry. No blow-dryer or heat for the first 24 hours — drying fast stops the colour partway.
6. Wash with plain warm water as often as you like; the moisture helps the colour develop. Wait 72 hours before using shampoo or any cleanser with detergents, and judge the colour on day three.
