"In order to choose the right product, you have to make sure that the organic hair dye is 100% organic with only powdered plants in.

The application of color

For a first vegetable coloring, you must make a clay mask to apply on your scalp. This removes residues of ammonia and other chemical and prepares the hair for plant coloring. Simon Assoun then recommends washing his hair with a shampoo with nettles. Then we go on to the preparation of the vegetable coloring. We take the adapted grammage in plants and mix it with hot water. " The dough should not be too liquid to avoid sinking during application and not too thick either, it should look like the texture of a yogurt," said Simon Assoun.

Side application, better to do two to reach the back of the head. The mixture of pigments is deposited on a fine wick starting from the front of the hair. We take another wick on which we put the mixture again. We put this lock on the first, and so on, like a millefeuille.
Sometimes a pre-pigmentation precedes the application to cover the white hair well. It is therefore necessary to deposit the coloring twice on the hair. If the exposure time varies from 20-30 minutes to 2 hours in hairdressing salon, according to the desired color and the percentage of white hair, at home, plan the double because there is no heat input for go faster. We take the opportunity to go about his business in the house, read or rest to agree a moment to himself. Then we rinse. We can make a ylang-ylang care to let act 10 minutes then rinsed again. |
