5. How do I mix and apply Botanical Colour?
Mix 1 part color powder with 5 parts distilled boiling water (e.g., 40g powder + 200ml water) . Stir for 3-4 minutes to activate pigments, then let cool to body temperature (approx. 37°C / 99°F) before applying . Apply to clean, dry hair (pre-washed with Botanical Primer Shampoo). Cover with a plastic cap and process with gentle heat for 45 minutes .

6. How do I get the best grey coverage?
For extra grey coverage, add 25% of a cool shade to your formula: For dark shades, add Peppercorn (e.g., 10g Peppercorn + 30g Dark Cinnamon + 160ml water) . For light shades, add Bitter Chocolate (e.g., 10g Bitter Chocolate + 30g Manuka Honey + 160ml water) .

7. Can I mix different shades together?
Yes, all Botanical Colour shades are fully intermixable, allowing you to create custom colors and pastel results . Use Crystal Clear to lighten any shade for pastel effects .

8. Can I use Crystal Clear as a standalone treatment?
Yes, Crystal Clear can be applied alone as a conditioning treatment to add incredible shine, condition, and texture without depositing color .

9. Who is this product best suited for?
Botanical Colour is ideal for clients with fragile or damaged hair, first-time color clients, those with ingredient sensitivities or allergies, and anyone seeking a natural, plant-based alternative to traditional hair color .

10. Why do I need the Botanical Primer Shampoo?
The Primer Shampoo (pH 7.1) is essential to deep-cleanse hair, remove impurities, and gently open the cuticle for optimal color penetration . Do not use conditioner after the primer shampoo before applying Botanical Colour, as conditioner will close the cuticle and block color absorption .
