Note
|
| |
Once you take out desired amount of Lustrous Henna® powder in a bowl, heat some water almost boiling (we do not have exact amount of water measurement as water absorption may differ from one batch of herbs to other), (approximately heat one cup of water for 100 grams of powder) Start adding water to the powder while mixing the power to make a workable creamy paste. As soon as the paste is cool to touch, It can be applied to the hair. The paste should not be left out for longer than 10 minutes. This will have a negative effect on color.
In case, Lustrous Henna® paste is left without applying for 20 minutes or more, It should be discarded, as it has lost its coloring properties.

Shampoo your hair for best results with mild shampoo like: Imbue™ Nurturing Shampoo.

Once the paste is ready to use, you may add extra water if desired. Apply this paste to your hair with hands with gloves on or comb and brush. Spread it evenly all over the hair. Then cover your hair with shower cap(supplied) and leave it for 60 minutes.
|
You may add some extra water for convenience in application. You must cover your hair with shower cap to avoid premature oxidation.

10 + 60 = 70

Warm up dye paste on your hair with hair dryer or blow dryer for 1-3 minutes while cap is still on. Wait for 15 minutes,( keep the cap on).

This is a very important part of process. The cap must be on during the process.

70 + 20 = 90

Again warm up your hair with dryer for 1-3 minutes while cap is still on. Wait for 10 to 20 minutes and rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water.

This is equally important for fixing of dye on your hair.

The paste also can be left on hair for a total of 2 hours to achieve a deeper shade. You may shampoo your hair using a Saba Botanical recommended shampoo.
