Description
Grey coverage, without putting chemicals on your scalp
Keshkalini is a natural black hair colour made from Ayurvedic herbs. It was formulated by Ayurvedic doctors in Thane, and it colours hair without ammonia, bleach, peroxide or synthetic dyes.
What goes into it
Henna, Indigo, Amla, Bhringraj, Hibiscus, Fenugreek, Shikakai, Reetha and Ground Coffee beans.
Henna and indigo are what actually colour the hair. Henna on its own leans reddish, and indigo is what carries it to a natural black. The rest are the plants Indian homes have always used on hair.
How to use it
- Tip the powder you need into a non-metallic bowl.
- Add water slowly and mix until the paste is smooth, with no lumps.
- Let the paste rest for 30 to 40 minutes. This is when the herbs release their colour, so please do not rush it.
- Work it through evenly from roots to ends with a colour brush. If you would rather use your hands, wear gloves.
- Leave it on for 60 to 90 minutes. The longer you wait, the deeper the black.
- For the first wash, rinse with plain water only. No shampoo. From the second wash onwards you can shampoo as normal.
Worth knowing
- If you have used a chemical dye recently, the first round may look lighter than you expect. The real colour shows from the second application.
- Keep leftover powder in an airtight container. Best used within 12 months.
- Colour usually lasts 20 to 25 days.
- Works on all hair types. For men and women. Net quantity 40 g.
Before your first use
Keshkalini is a natural colour, but natural does not mean nobody reacts. Some people are sensitive to coffee, henna or other strong herbs, so a patch test is worth the two minutes.
- Test on the skin behind your ear, on your inner arm or forearm.
- Watch it for 48 hours for any itching, redness or irritation.
- Stop using it if a rash or irritation appears.
