Cocoa Henna is an herbal vegetable dye that contains a powerful combination of henna, indigo, walnut, cider, aloe vera, turmeric and amla. These natural ingredients provide a beautiful medium brown color (with blonde highlights) to the hair, while offering numerous benefits for hair health. This is a 100% natural plant dye with BioVidaSana organic certification composed by Ayurvedic doctors in India. Origin: India. Without: Parabens, silicones, preservatives and chemicals. In a large bowl, mix cocoa henna with warm water at about 60 – 80°C (high temperatures will result in a more intense color) little by little until the mixture has the consistency of yogurt. Cover the mixture and let it sit in a warm area for about 10-20 minutes before using. Apply the mixture to clean, dry and well-detangled hair, from the root to the tip of the hair, and wait between 60 – 90 minutes (depending on the desired color intensity) before washing with water alone. To retain color, it is important to wait a minimum of 24 hours before washing your hair with a mild shampoo (NO sulfates). *For gray hair it is recommended to carry out the double process. First dye the gray hair with brown henna or caramel henna (60-90 minutes) and then with cocoa henna (60-90 minutes). For external use only. Keep out of the reach of children. Avoid direct eye contact. The product does not lighten the hair since it does not contain oxidants or bleaching chemicals. It is recommended to perform a skin test to ensure that there are no allergies to this product.
