Light auburn |

To check the colour, we recommend you strand test a small section of your hair before applying to your entire head.
A few other things to bear in mind:
Leaving the paste on for a longer time will make the colour stronger. If you want a deeper colour, you can also build up the colour with a second application.
The true colour takes a few hours to develop. - When you first wash out the colour it will often not be the full depth of colour, but it will gradually darken to its true colour. - It can be likened to a cut apple - at first it the apple is white and then as it oxidises in the air it goes brown.
On dark brown hair this colour will probably not show up.
If your hair has been chemically lightened it will affect the colour result. - Chemical lighteners make your hair more porous and thus absorb the colour less predictably.
There may be slight variations in colour result between different batches of Herbal Hair Colour. - The botanical ingredients can be affected by varying climatic conditions from year to year.

I love how my hair feels and looks after using this henna dye! It’s a bit more work but my hair is clearly a lot happier. I will be purchasing again!
I have returned in recent years to Henna products, after realising that my grey hair was just not “Me”!! I spent quite a sum on some henna from a well known chain, but it left me with orange hair, no matter what combination of henna colours I chose. After checking things out on the internet I happened upon Pure. I felt it met my search for a natural hair colour but with a bit more of a guarantee of colour. And , after a somewhat nervous first venture…….? , it’s a HIT! The orange hair has gone. I have brown hair with a lovely golden auburn tint. The product was well priced, and my hair is fine so I only used one packet which leaves me with enough for my next tint. Good value, kind on the hair. Wonderful! Could be 5 stars, but I am just being cautious! Thank you. I’ll be back
I use dark brown mixed with chestnut for the gray coverage and desired chesnutty tone. I love it. I use 1 - 1 ratio now and 50g covers my roots thickly and spreads to the ends. I have shoulder length layered hair.
It doesn't smell after 1st wash. The ends where I have multiple layers of colour is really strong, the roots needs re doing as it grows my grays show. Great product! Best natural colour. Good value. I leave it on 3-4h.
I wish l used it earlier!!
Great product, you don't need much to attain excellent results. My hair is lush and beautiful after application, all greys gone. Can't recommend enough
Very happy with this! I have sensitive skin but had no issues with this or with the red henna from it’s pure.
My hair is shiny and soft after using this!
