If you are looking to cover your gray hair or achieve an intense black shade without resorting to harsh chemicals, our botanical formula is the ideal alternative. Unlike conventional dyes, it does not need ammonia to open the cuticle, but rather deposits plant-based pigments onto the hair fiber, providing color, shine, and a fuller appearance.

The result is an intense, deep, and natural black shade, which provides uniformity, shine, and enhances the beauty of your hair. To achieve this result, Onyx uses our two-step plant-based coloring method, which combines the application of henna with a second mixture of dyeing plants. Both steps are included in the product.

The first step prepares the color base by applying henna, while the second deposits the plant-based pigments that allow you to achieve the desired black shade. This process is especially important for achieving intense gray coverage and a dark, uniform result.

The final color is unique to each person, as plant-based pigments do not lighten the hair, but rather combine with its original shade. Therefore, the result will depend on the base color, the amount of gray hair, and the characteristics of each person's hair.

Who do we recommend the Onyx shade for?

• Hair with abundant gray hair that is looking to cover it with an intense, deep, and natural-looking black shade.
• Completely white or gray hair that wants to achieve black coloring through a two-step plant-based method.
• Naturally black hair with some gray hair that is looking to blend it with the rest of the hair and regain a uniform appearance.
• Dark brown hair that wants to achieve a deeper and more intense black shade without resorting to conventional dyes.
• Those who have their first gray hairs and prefer to cover them with a black shade, maintaining harmony with their natural color.
• People who are looking for more intense and uniform gray coverage, rather than a toning or highlighting effect.
• Dull hair that wants to renew its appearance with a deep black color, greater luminosity, and shine.
• People who prefer intense black shades, without visible copper or reddish reflections in the final result, by correctly following the two-step method.

How to apply?

For best results, follow the instructions to the letter. Organize your time to do the process calmly and achieve the desired result.

STEP 1

A. Mix

1.Pour ALL of the contents of STEP 1 (100g) into a bowl. Even if you are only doing roots.

2.Mix by gradually adding up to 320 ml of waterat room temperature until a paste is formed.

Preferably, use any water that you can drink. Pay attention to the texture of the mixture so as not to add too much water. It is normal for it to have lumps.

B. Pre-application

3.Let the mixture rest at room temperature for 90 minuteswithout covering it.

For application, hair does not have to be clean, but avoid excessive oiliness for a better result. Also, it can be dry or slightly damp.

4.Divide your hair into sections. Use clips or pins to help you.

5.You can apply cream or oil to your hairline, over your ears, and on your neck to avoid staining.
(Don't worry, any stains will disappear within 2 days at most).

6.Remove accessories and jewelry.

7.Put on old clothes that can get stained and your gloves.

C. Apply

Work with thin sections of hair so that the mixture penetrates correctly.

8.Using a brush, apply plenty of the mixture from the nape of your neck forward, always leaving the forehead area for last.

Use ALL of the mixture to ensure effective pigmentation. Press the product firmly onto the hair so that it adheres well. (Especially on gray hairs)

Even if you don't have gray hair on the nape of your neck, always start from the back (lower area) and move forward (front area).

9.When finished, cover your head with plastic wrap or a thin bag to keep the mixture moist. (If it dries, it won't dye well)

10.Let it sit for 90 minutes.

D. Rinse

11.Rinse with plenty of running water first. Then, use shampoo and conditioner to remove all residues.

Use a dark or old towel to dry yourself because it may get stained. (Preferably, use it all week, as your hair will continue to release pigment)

Don't worry about your clothes or sheets, the color may transfer only when your hair is wet during the first week.

After rinsing, you will see a bright orange color on the gray hairs, which is the perfect base to then apply STEP 2.

You can do STEP 2 on the same day or wait up to 3 days.

STEP 2

Repeat all the steps from STEP 1 but changing the measurements for the amount of water, resting time, and time on the hair, detailed below:

A. Mix

Mix ALL of the contents of STEP 2 (100g) with approximately 310 ml of waterand let it rest at room temperature for only 10 minutes.

B. Apply

After applying, let it sit for 2 hours.

Unlike STEP 1, the STEP 2 mixture has a thicker, less adherent texture. Therefore, it is important to press the product firmly onto the hair, ensuring that it adheres well to the hair for effective pigmentation.

C. Rinse

Our formula combines five plants carefully selected for their dyeing properties and their tradition in hair care. Through our two-step plant-based coloring method, their natural pigments work together to achieve an intense and deep black shade, while their botanical compounds complement hair care.

• Lawsonia Inermis (Henna):Plant recognized for its natural pigment, lawsone, which adheres to the hair fiber and provides a warm color base. It is essential in the first step of plant-based coloring, as it prepares the base on which the black shade develops during the second application. In addition, it helps provide shine and a fuller appearance to the hair.
• Indigofera Tinctoria (Indigo):Dyeing plant rich in bluish pigment precursors that, when combined with the henna base, allow for the achievement of dark shades and deep blacks. It is one of the main ingredients to achieve the characteristic Onyx black color through the two-step method.
• Phyllanthus Emblica (Amla):Fruit traditionally used in hair care, recognized for its content of antioxidant compounds, such as polyphenols. It complements the botanical formula and is appreciated for its traditional use to maintain a healthy appearance of the hair.
• Eclipta Prostrata (Bhringraj):Plant widely used in the Ayurvedic tradition for the care of the hair and scalp. It contains antioxidant plant compounds and is traditionally appreciated for its association with the strengthening and maintenance of healthy hair.
• Azadirachta Indica (Neem):Plant traditionally used in scalp care for its botanical compounds. It is known for its antimicrobial properties observed in laboratory studies and complements the hair care formula.
