Radico Hair Color – Two-Step Application Guide

For improved gray hair coverage with Soft Black, we recommend applying the Colour Foundation Treatment first as a base. This step enhances the coverage and provides a more even, natural-looking result when followed by Radico Soft Black.

Step 1: Radico Colour Foundation Treatment (Base Color)

1️⃣ Prep Your Hair – Wash with an organic shampoo (no conditioner, oils, or silicone-based products). Towel dry.
2️⃣ Mix the Paste – Combine hair color powder with boiled water (adjust amount based on hair length) until it reaches a ketchup-like consistency.
3️⃣ Apply – Spread the warm paste evenly on clean hair and scalp.
4️⃣ Wait & Monitor – Cover with a shower cap for 15-30 minutes. If white hair turns orange in 15 minutes, rinse immediately. Leaving it too long may result in bright orange tones.
5️⃣ Rinse – Use water only (no shampoo).

Step 2: Radico Hair Color

1️⃣ Mix Paste – Same as Step 1.
2️⃣ Apply & Wait – Cover hair, leave for 1 hour or more. Blow-drying is optional.
3️⃣ Rinse – Use water only. Avoid shampoo for 3 days to allow color to deepen.

🔹 Post-Color Care: Let the color oxidize for 3-5 days for richer results.

Following these steps ensures a smooth, natural-looking color transformation. 🌿💚

How long does the hair color last?
✔ The color typically lasts 1-3 weeks, but this can vary depending on your hair's condition and how fast your gray hair grows. Gray hair usually begins to reappear in about 3-4 weeks, requiring a touch-up for continued coverage.

Is this permanent hair color?
✔ It is semi-permanent. Unlike synthetic chemical dyes, which use ammonia to open the hair cuticle and hydrogen peroxide to deposit color, organic hair color gently coats the outer layer of the hair shaft. This results in a more natural, gradual color that lasts without penetrating the hair as deeply.

Would there be any allergic reactions while using the product?
✔ It is unlikely since Radico Colour Me Organic Hair Color is 100% made up of herbs. However, some people can be allergic to them. To rule out any adverse reactions, please do a patch test first on your skin for at least 15 minutes. If you have a certain condition, please consult with your doctor first before using this product.

Could the product be used as a partial hair dye?
✔ Yes, if you just want to cover the gray portions of your hair.
