Colour description
(3.1) Classic, classy brown, Chocolate Shadow is a rich colour that will give silky dark chocolate tones to all hair colours except for black*.
This colour is ideal for most complexions and people with naturally brown or dark hair.
* We recommend a Red Shadow or Copper Shadow base application for hair with more than 30% grey, light blonde & colour resistant hair to achieve optimum colour results.
Colour & treatment in one
Our hair colour products also act as a treatment, helping to repair dry and damaged hair, leaving your hair soft and shiny.
This 100% Certified Organic formula is ideal for those who have scalp issues, sensitive skin and allergies to chemical hair dyes. It is also a wonderful and safe alternative for pregnant mums who would like to continue colouring during pregnancy* as they contain nothing but certified organic goodness.
Me Time required
Organic hair colours need time to deposit colour on your hair. Please allow the following amount of time for your colour treatment.
Non Grey coverage : 1 hr +
Grey coverage : 2 to 3 hrs
Amount of product required
Short hair & root touch ups - 1/2 pack
Medium hair - 1 pack
Long hair - 1 to 1.5 packs
Super long hair - 2 to 3 packs
Thick hair - will need to add an extra 1/4 pack for short hair and 1/2 (short to medium) to 3/4 pack (for long hair)
*Please note - repeated use will see your colour become richer and in some cases darker. Once you achieve the colour shade you like on the lengths, simply apply to the roots only and do a full application every 4th or 5th time to boost the colour at the ends. This will save time and product and ensure you have an even colour all over.
Ingredients
Lawsonia inermis, Indigofera Tinctoria, Cassia obovata, Aloe barbadensis.
Important
*We recommend a strand test to determine desired processing time and final colour result. Colour resistant hair will require the longer period for processing time. Not recommended for people who wish to bleach or lighten their hair blonde in the future.
Strand test instructions can be found here

Good coverage
It covered the gray hair well. Bit time consuming but I am happy with the results

Allergic to chemcial colours
So happy I found this product. I developed an allergy to chemcial hair colours so stopped colouring my hair until I found this one. I donÕt get any reaction and it covers my grey hair really well. I am so over the moon that I no longer have to

Fabulous
Covers grey, leaves my hair feeling healthy and my scalp in tact. I have sensitive skin so was a bit cautious and did a patch test first. Thrilled I can colour my hair again.

Best quality henna I have used
Been using henna for 10 years plus and this is the best one I have found so far AND it is organic certified. It is fine powder so it is so much easier to wash out of the hair compared to other henna powders I have used. The colour is also really strong and long lasting. I tell everyone I know about it. Thanks for making such a great product so glad I found it.

Love it!
I've been using this hair colour for about a year and I love it! Makes my hair shiny and soft and it also smells nice. I do add a bit of extra spices and use tea in the mix instead of apple cider.

Desert Shadow
Used a few times now and am happy to have found an organic colour

quite the process
wow. what a process this was. I had to read the instructions was almost like I was making a cake. Got a good colour but I just don't have the time it takes to do this. Such a shame because I really want to use a natural colour.

watch the videos for help
I love Desert Shadow. Yes it smells a bit earthy, but anything is better than that horrible chemical smell you get at the salon! I suggest people watch the tutorials on how to mix and apply they helped me a lot. This colour is a wonderfully rich shiny brown that gives much better results than chemical dye.
