Best natural hair dye for grey hair
Watch this video to understand the principles of herbal dye
Initial consultation to Grey Coverage with Herbs
- For the grey coverage we use pure organic herbs (henna, indigo and cassia) which we buy from various suppliers and then create mixes for each client in accordance with their original hair colour.
- We do not use any brand of premixed products as each herb has different time necessary for colour release and using premixed herbs takes away they efficiency.
- Herbal dye works by staining rather than chemical reaction. The molecules of herbs bind to the keratin of the hair therefore the longer you leave the mix on your hair the more saturated colour you'll get.
- Greys will be covered but will look lighter than hair which had natural pigment
- You can be blond if you have enough greys, it is possible to cover greys with strawberry blond however if the distribution of greys is not even some additional highlights may be required.
- For brown shades indigo is used. Indigo is a commitment as it can not be removed from the hair. You can never highlight your hair if you had indigo dye at least once.
- It is best not to reapply henna on previously dyed areas more often than once in 3 months as it can oversaturate hair with protein and the hair will be dry. Do not use protein masks if you had henna.
- Use plenty of conditioner to wash out the herbal mix and do not shampoo your hair for 3 days after the application
- If you would like to create your own mix and apply it at home but need guidance, you can book an online consultation with us

Provisional consultation on the phone and online consultation
Initial consultation on the phone will last 10-15 min max, I understand that herbal dye process is different from a chemical dye and the client has many questions.
At the beginning of the colour appoinment we usually provide another mini consultation which will more efficient than the phone consultation where we could see your hair and give your a more precise estimate of the result, reassure you by showing other clients results.
However if you are someone who needs a lot of reassurance and details prior to the appoinment we recommend to book an online consultation where you will be made aware about different processes of herbal dying and impact of previous or future chemical hair dying and how herbal and chemical dye can be combined (or not). Also you will be given step by step instructions in case if you wish to dye your hair at home.
