khadi DARK BROWN Natural Hair Color

Okay, bear with me. This review is a long one. But, if I can help someone else who is suffering from allergies, I will. I spent countless hours reading reviews and forums and would have loved to have had someone give me a full and intricate review when I was struggling to find the right color line. I am an ex hairdresser who had to quit their job from a severe allergy to hair color that progressed over time. What started as a tingle, progressed to rashes, hives, oozing sores and escalated to hair loss. I went to countless doctors and specialist in which none could give me any info on what ingredients were causing the allergy. I’m in my mid 30s and have greys and wanted nothing more than a solution for covering greys. I had tried EVERY hair color under the sun. From drug store to professional products to henna. Luckily, having a license I was able to try hair colors that the general public does not have access to. No matter what I tried, the allergy would show up and progress over 2-3 weeks. Worsening as the days went by. By the time the allergy subsided, it was time to dye my roots again. The amount of suffering I was going through to cover greys was unimaginable. The people closest to me told me give up. But, coming from a beauty background, I just wanted a solution and to rid myself of the greys. I couldn’t handle the fact that not only did my career have to change, but my beauty standards are impacted too. This was the final and last option. I reluctantly ordered it assuming that it would be like henna and hurt me just like standard hair colors did. I followed the directions to the T and waited. No bad reaction, nothing. Now, is it perfect coverage? no. Is it easy to apply? Not at all. It’s a damn process. But, it’s a solution for people like me. So, do I recommend it? Absolutely, and I am so blessed I found it. Here are the items I find VERY important: 1. You must clarify your hair first and dry it all the way before application. You must use distilled water and keep the solution warm through all of the application. I use a small glass bowl to hold the hair color within a larger bowl filled with hot water to keep the color warm. 2. I remix a new batch of color for every quadrant of my head. I will do 1/4 of my head, and remix a new batch as I go along. To ensure potency. 3. It says to leave it on for a 1.5 hours (I believe), but I leave it on for 4-5 with a cap. 4. I really cake it onto the stubborn parts and take very very fine sections when applying. 5. When I rinse it, I do not use shampoo. I rinse it till water is clear and then blow dry as normal. 6. It continues to develop as the days progress, so I will finally wash with shampoo 3 days later. I have dark espresso brown hair naturally. I use the “dark brown”. It stains the greys to a medium brown, and gives you dimension. It is not a flat color. So, iT IS A DAMN PAIN to color my hair and it took a lot of experimenting with this color to get the right system and the most coverage. I hate it. But, I am also so thankful I have the option again. Not only is it all natural, it is a solution to those with severe sensitivities. I 1000% recommend.

I’ve been using it for a few months already. The premixed color makes it easy to use, no need to figure out the henna/indigo ratio. The result is always the same color. The box includes gloves and a shower cap. Very satisfied, thank you!

I chose this as it was chemical free and plant based. I followed all the directions and applied the hair color and waited for over 60 minutes before washing. The end result was disastrous to say the least. My white hair turned green!!!!! I now have 3 colors on my hair - dark brown , light brown and light geeen! I just could not believe it ! Wish I had not done this 😭

If you are looking for a natural way to color your hair, this is a great product. I have tried henna before to cover grays but it turns it orange. This has indigo added, plus a couple of other herbal ingredients and that makes it dark brown. I have neck length hair so used half the amount of product, following the directions about temperature and how to mix it, and left it on for 2 hours with the plastic cap and a towel. It didn't get some of the roots so the next week I did it just on the roots using a brush with about a quarter of the product and that covered most of them. There are a few grays on the temples that are just really stubborn and didn't get covered but that's not a big deal. The rest was nice and seems to last. I think it sometimes takes two applications unless you purchase their "pre treatment" which essentially does the same thing -- creating a base for the Indigo to stick. Using the same product twice may do the same thing (not sure). More importantly, my hair feels good after -- soft and "healthy" feeling. The herbal ingredients seem to make it soft and not dried out after the coloring. I am impressed. I will likely continue using this product and would recommend. It's different to apply than chemical colorants but worth the effort if you can block about 2.5 hours of total time.

Does a great color- it’s a bit messy- that’s expected and my hair is super dry initially but then it recovers.

If you’re looking for grey coverage and you want to do it naturally this is for you! I have tried so many different henna products and nothing worked. Khadi actually gave me full coverage and I know my hair will not be damaged so I’m worry free. Yes it takes time and it’s not as easy as a regular dye, but I’m trying to keep my hair healthy so this is a go! Please give it a try if you are afraid of hair damage with conventional hair dyes.

Good product, but way too expensive for some Indian Hana. This product is not made in Germany. It is just packaged there to make it like a European product. You can find similar products in Indian stores all over the country for a fraction of the cost.

I have been using the dark brown hair color now a few times. I love that it is natural and is easy to use. Definitely works well on my dark hair to cover the gray and white hair. I use the Khadi shampoo and conditioners and hair oil along with the pre color box. All work well together to get good results.

Magnifique

Super

This is my favourite hair color. It works very well, gives intense color and a beautiful natural shine. My hair feels thicker and much stronger after using it.

Smell horrible and no grey coverage at all u have to buy many products to waste money and end result is dry lifeless hairs
