INDIAN HENNA MAHOGANY is a certified organic plant-based hair colour created according to traditional Ayurvedic recipes from a carefully selected blend of Henna, Indigo, Walnut Shell and Indian Madder.

The colour gives the hair a luxurious and deep reddish-brown mahogany shade with warm copper, chestnut and wine-red highlights while providing comprehensive cosmetic care for the hair and scalp.

The product is certified by the French organisation Ecocert SA in accordance with the requirements of the USDA Organic — National Organic Program (NOP) standard and carries the highest 100% Organic labelling category. The certification confirms the organic status of the finished botanical blend, control over the origin of the raw materials and compliance with the established requirements throughout its production and processing.

Unlike conventional oxidative hair colours, botanical pigments do not require ammonia or hydrogen peroxide. They combine with the hair’s original colour and coat its surface with a fine layer of pigment without damaging the hair’s natural structure.

After colouring, the hair appears thicker, smoother and more voluminous, with a natural shine and well-cared-for appearance. The botanical formula helps strengthen weakened hair, reduce dryness and breakage, makes the hair easier to comb and acts as a natural conditioner.

The colour is suitable for all hair types, including fine, dry, weakened, dull, porous and breakage-prone hair. It can be used for regular colouring, maintaining shade intensity and covering grey hair.

  A mahogany shade with an individual result
  
  INDIAN HENNA does not lighten the hair’s natural colour. The botanical pigments combine with the original shade, which means that the final result will be individual for every person.
  
  Depending on the original hair colour, the following results are possible:
  
  on light and light blonde hair — a bright and rich copper-red or reddish-brown shade;
  
  on medium blonde hair — a distinctive warm mahogany shade with chestnut and copper highlights;
  
  on grey and white hair — a lighter and brighter copper, reddish-brown or wine-red shade;
  
  on dark blonde and chestnut hair — a deep reddish-brown or dark chestnut tone with a mahogany tint;
  
  on dark brown and black hair — no visible lightening will occur, but the hair may gain reddish or wine-red highlights, greater colour depth and additional shine;
  
  on previously coloured, lightened or porous hair the colour may appear more intense, brighter or darker.
  
  Immediately after colouring, the shade may appear particularly bright and warm. Over the following 24–48 hours, the botanical colour oxidises, deepens and develops its final appearance.
  
  Before first use, it is recommended to carry out a strand test. This will allow you to assess the individual result in advance and determine the optimal processing time.
  
  Grey coverage
  
  INDIAN HENNA MAHOGANY is suitable for colouring grey hair; however, the result depends on the amount of grey hair, its structure and porosity, and previous colouring treatments.
  
  Where there is a small or moderate amount of grey hair, the blend helps create a natural, multidimensional effect: grey hairs take on brighter copper-red or reddish-brown shades, while the remaining hair develops a deeper mahogany tone. This makes the colour appear vibrant, dimensional and natural.
  
  Where there is a high proportion of grey hair or the hair is completely grey, the shade may appear noticeably lighter, warmer and brighter than shown in the image. A second application may be required for a more even, deeper and richer result.
  
  Botanical colourants have a cumulative effect. With regular use, the shade becomes deeper and more durable, while the transition between grey and pigmented hair becomes less noticeable.
  
  Four organic botanical ingredients for colour and care
  
  Henna (Lawsonia inermis) forms the colour base, coats the surface of the hair, helps strengthen its structure and gives the hair thickness, smoothness, visible volume and natural shine. Henna creates the characteristic warm copper and reddish tones.
  
  Indigo (Indigofera tinctoria) balances the bright copper tones of Henna and helps create a deeper reddish-brown colour. Depending on the original hair shade and processing time, Indigo makes the colour darker, richer and more balanced.
  
  Walnut Shell (Juglans regia) is traditionally used in botanical blends to produce warm brown and chestnut shades. It helps give the colour depth and natural woody highlights.
  
  Indian Madder (Rubia cordifolia) is a plant well known in Ayurveda and rich in natural colouring compounds. It complements the formula with distinctive reddish and wine-red tones characteristic of mahogany.
  
  Colour and care in a single treatment
  
  INDIAN HENNA MAHOGANY does more than change the shade of the hair: it also provides intensive cosmetic care:


• coats the surface of each hair;


• helps visibly increase hair thickness and volume;


• helps smooth the structure of porous and damaged hair;


• gives the hair softness and elasticity;


• helps reduce breakage and split ends;


• makes the hair easier to comb;


• provides natural shine;


• helps maintain the well-cared-for condition of the hair and scalp.
  
  With regular use, the hair appears stronger, thicker and more vibrant. The effect is particularly noticeable on fine, weakened, dull hair lacking volume.
  
  Product quantity required
  
  The required amount of powder depends on the length, thickness and structure of the hair:
  
  short hair — approximately 30–50 g;
  
  medium-length hair — approximately 50–80 g;
  
  long or thick hair — approximately 100 g or more.
  
  One 100 g pack is usually sufficient for a full application on medium-length hair. Two packs may be required for very long or thick hair.
  
  A smaller amount of powder is required when colouring only regrowth. Prepare enough mixture to cover the target area evenly and generously.
  
  Directions for use
  
  Before colouring, wash the hair with a shampoo free from silicones, oils and conditioning additives. Do not use conditioner or a hair mask. Gently towel-dry the hair.
  
  Before beginning the procedure, put on protective gloves and protect your clothing. A rich cream may be applied to the skin along the hairline, taking care not to apply it to the hair itself.

1. Place the required amount of powder in a clean, non-metallic bowl.


2. Gradually add hot water at a temperature not exceeding 50 °C, mixing thoroughly.


3. Mix until a smooth, creamy consistency resembling thick yoghurt or ketchup is obtained. The mixture should spread easily through the hair without running.


4. If desired, add one teaspoon of salt per 100 g of powder. This may help produce a deeper and cooler shade through the action of Indigo.


5. Use the prepared mixture immediately. Do not leave it standing for an extended period and do not store any remaining mixed colour.


6. Apply the warm mixture evenly to the hair, beginning at the roots and gradually distributing it throughout the lengths. Every strand should be completely covered.


7. After application, the mixture may be gently distributed with a wide-toothed, non-metallic comb.


8. Put on the plastic cap and wrap the head in a towel to retain warmth.


9. Leave the colour on the hair for 60 minutes. For a richer and deeper shade, the processing time may be increased to 90–120 minutes.


10. Rinse the hair thoroughly with plenty of warm water without shampoo until the water runs clear.
    
    Do not use water hotter than 50 °C: excessively hot water may weaken the action of Indigo, resulting in a warmer and more reddish shade.
    
    For the first 24–48 hours after colouring, it is not recommended to use shampoo, conditioner, a hair mask or oil. This allows the botanical pigments to develop fully and bond with the hair.
    
    How to preserve the colour
    
    To prolong the durability and intensity of the shade:

• use the special INDIAN HENNA COLOR CARE shampoo for coloured hair;


• avoid deep-cleansing shampoos immediately after colouring;


• do not wash the hair with excessively hot water;


• limit the use of oils and intensive hair masks during the first few days after colouring;


• protect the hair from prolonged sun exposure;


• rinse the hair with clean water after swimming in seawater or chlorinated water;


• repeat the colouring process as the roots grow and the shade gradually fades.
  
  Important information about the colouring result
  
  The shade name indicates the general colour direction but does not guarantee an identical result on different hair.
  
  The final colour depends on:


• the original hair shade;


• the amount and distribution of grey hair;


• hair thickness and porosity;


• previous colouring treatments;


• water temperature;


• the consistency of the prepared mixture;


• the evenness of application;


• processing time;


• the number of previous botanical colouring treatments.
  
  Botanical hair colours have a cumulative effect: with repeated applications, the shade may become richer, deeper and darker.
  
  When colouring only regrowth, it is recommended to apply the mixture primarily to the root area. Frequent repeated application over the entire length may gradually make the shade darker.
  
  Before colouring the entire head, always perform a strand test, especially if the hair has been lightened, bleached, permed, severely damaged or previously coloured with synthetic hair dye.
  
  After using Henna or Indigo, the result of subsequent chemical colouring, bleaching or perming may be less predictable. Before undergoing any such procedure, inform your hairdresser that a botanical hair colour has been used and perform a strand test.
  
  Precautions
  
  For external use only. Do not use to colour eyebrows or eyelashes.
  
  Before first use, it is recommended to perform an individual sensitivity test and a test application on a separate strand of hair.
  
  Do not apply to an irritated, inflamed, damaged or flaking scalp.
  
  Avoid contact between the powder or prepared mixture and the eyes. If the product comes into contact with the eyes, rinse immediately and thoroughly with plenty of clean water.
  
  Do not inhale the powder. Wear protective gloves during preparation and application. Do not use metal bowls, spoons or combs.
  
  If severe burning, itching, redness or any other adverse reaction occurs during use, rinse the product off immediately and discontinue use.
  
  Store tightly closed in a dry, dark place at room temperature and out of reach of children. Protect the powder from moisture.
