Phitofilos Black Henna, 100 g

Pure black Henna (Indigofera tinctoria). Suitable for dark brown and brown hair (40-90 minutes contact time) and gray coverage. If more than 20-30% of the hair is white, a double dyeing for cover and gloss is recommended: a first coloring with red henna (Egypten- or Iran-red) for about 10-20 minutes, and only the second time with black henna for about 40-60 minutes. The first step provides a good primer for the white hair, while the second produces the desired color with the dark tones for a color result between eggplant and dark copper. In light brown hair, the hair will accept shades of maroon. It takes several hours after the dyeing process to see the color because of the final oxidation process.
