Simply mix the color powder with water that is 176° F and leave on your hair for 60 minutes for an intense base color.
Bleach & Highlights
khadi Color Prep prepares your bleached, dry, or porous hair for further coloring by adding blonde and copper pigments. Use Color Prep before you color with your desired shade. Simply mix the color powder with water that is 140° F and leave on your hair for 30 minutes.
Chemical Coloring / Gray Roots
Do you have gray roots? khadi Color Prep will deposit a strawberry blonde to intense copper base color on your gray roots, preparing them for further coloring with your desired khadi shade. This step is great for you, if you want to color with a darker khadi shade and achieve optimal gray coverage on your roots. Simply mix with water that is 176° F and leave on your roots for 60 minutes.

khadi Natural Hair Color dyes with the power of finely ground plants. Color pigments bind to the hair cuticles and adhere to the outside of the hair shaft – creating a nourishing glaze that protects and revitalizes.
All khadi Hair Colors are 100% natural, cruelty-free, free from synthetic dyes, fragrances, and preservatives.
◄IngredientsCassia auriculata leaf powder (Senna), Lawsonia inermis leaf powder (Henna), Ziziphusjujuba leaf powder (Sidr), Ziziphus spinachristileaf powder (Zizisphus)
◄How To UseThe ritual of applying khadi Natural Hair Color is a century-old, Ayurvedic practice to naturally color and strengthen hair.
The finely ground plant powder is mixed with warm water to form a naturally creamy paste. This potent color cream is then applied to freshly washed hair. After allowing the hair dye to soak in, the color cream is washed out with water only. The color result is immediately visible, but intensifies over the next 24 to 48 hours.

United StatesKhadi prep is nice in use
United StatesInitially, I just used the color and did not see the difference. The company advised to apply color prep, so I bought the color prep and applied it, I still don’t see any difference. My grays are still visible.

Hi Marisa, Color Prep is the best for covering up grays and providing the best gray coverage. Only some of our shades require Color Prep; our color chart indicates which shades require additional use. Best Regards, khadi Color Crew Team
United StatesI am loving the entire Khadi line. I had a lot of hair fallout last year and moved to 100% natural hair products. Tried other henna dyes, but Khadi's line has worked best. The process is a bit long, but it is worth it! My hair has become stronger, healthier, and the dye looks so natural. I use Color Prep before my dye color since I have dark brown hair, and I'm trying to dye my greys. I leave it in for 120 min, then rinse out and use the color which I leave on overnight.
United StatesOh how I needed the prep for my gray hairs, it worked perfectly thank you!
Hi there, Glad to hear that using Color Prep worked perfectly to cover up your grays! Warm Regards, khadi Color Crew Team
