Walnut Shadow
I’m 59 and am fortunate enough to have all my hair, but there is a lot of grey. I use to bleach my hair to hide the grey, but that was becoming an issue for my scalp. I decided to try Desert Shadow because I like the idea of something natural. Initially my hair was throwing a lot of copper because of the grey, but after the second application it was perfect. It actually looked natural because the grey areas looked like highlights from being in the sun or swimming in the surf. I easily get 3 applications from one packet as I have short hair. I can’t recommend this product enough.

Beautiful colour results
I have been using desert shadow for around a year now, tried different shades and have always loved the results. The color covers greys effectively and my hair dresser is happy to apply it for me. I think it is a great natural alternative to chemical products!

Walnut Shadow
I tried for the first time Walnut Shadow and I loved it. I have white hair and it covered it so beautifully, they are now nice golden highlights. And I also purchased another box and got ready and activated step 1 in the freezer ready for the next application!

How to pre-prep and freeze?
Hi, I've been using the Walnut Shadow for over 2 years now and absolutely love it for many reasons but mostly how it makes my hair feel, and because I know it's not full of horrible chemicals I don't want to put on my scalp! I have a question which I hope someone might be able to clear up for me. I would like to try and pre-prepare the mixture and freeze it as sometimes time gets away from me. If I would like to freeze it, can I only freeze Step 1 and then mix Step 2 upon thawing, or do I have to combine both S1 & S2 and then freeze?

Walnut Shadow Hair Colour
I love this hair colour! I have a routine of doing the roots every 2 weeks, and I use half a packet for each time. It works well and gives a natural looking hair colour and softens my hair. I love using a product that is natural.

Walnut Shadow hair colour
I'm very sensitive to chemicals, so I'm very happy to have found a hair colour that does not give me red itchy skin and other sensitivities that conventional hair products do. I'm not ready to go grey yet, so walnut shadow hair colour is my friend! Thank you!!
