Radico Colour Me Organic Hair Colour - Dark Brown 100g
Radico Colour Me Organic Hair Colour - Dark Brown 100g is a plant-based powdered hair colour
formulated to give hair a deep dark brown shade using a blend of botanical colourants and herbs. The formula combines Henna and Indigo with Amla, Bhringraj, Hibiscus and Methi (Fenugreek), creating a botanical alternative to conventional oxidative hair colouring.
The Dark Brown shade is designed for those looking for a deeper, more natural-looking brown result rather than the warmer red tones associated with henna alone. Henna contributes warm reddish undertones, while indigo helps create the darker brown colour. The final shade can vary considerably depending on your starting hair colour, the amount of grey hair, hair condition and application time.
The product comes in a 100g powdered format that is mixed with water before application. The prepared paste is applied to clean hair, including the roots and lengths where colour is desired. Radico recommends leaving the colour on for at least 60 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
As a botanical hair colour, the shade can continue to develop after the initial application. Radico states that the colour undergoes an oxidation period of approximately 3 to 5 days, so the colour immediately after rinsing may not represent the final result.
Botanical Hair Colour Blend
Radico Dark Brown contains six highlighted herbal ingredients:
- Henna (Lawsonia inermis): Provides natural reddish-orange colour tones and forms part of the base of the colour blend.
- Indigo (Indigofera tinctoria): Used with henna to create deeper brown shades.
- Amla: An Indian botanical traditionally used in hair-care preparations.
- Bhringraj: A traditional Indian herb commonly included in herbal hair-care formulations.
- Hibiscus: A botanical traditionally used in hair and beauty preparations.
- Methi (Fenugreek): A traditional ingredient used in Indian hair-care routines.
Dark Brown Colour Result
The Dark Brown shade is particularly suited to people looking for a deeper brown appearance with less emphasis on bright red tones. However, botanical colour does not behave like a one-shade-fits-all chemical dye.
For example, lighter hair may show more visible brown and warm tones, while naturally dark hair may show a subtler brown tint. Grey hair can also produce a different result from pigmented hair. For this reason, performing a strand test before full application is useful if you want to see how the shade will develop on your hair.
Free From Conventional Dye Ingredients
According to Radico's product information, the Colour Me Organic range is formulated without ammonia, PPD, peroxide, resorcinol, bleach and parabens.
This is a powder-based botanical hair colour, so it should not be treated or expected to behave exactly like a conventional permanent oxidative hair dye.
How to Use
- Mix the required quantity of Dark Brown powder with water to create a smooth paste.
- Apply evenly to clean hair, starting from the roots and working through the lengths.
- Leave the application on for at least 60 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Allow the colour to develop over the following 3 to 5 days as the colour oxidizes.
Always follow the instructions provided on the product packaging. A patch/sensitivity test should be performed before use, and a strand test can help determine the expected colour on your particular hair.
