Preparation has never been easier: khadi Color Prep ensures flawless results by perfectly preparing your hair for coloring with khadi Natural Hair Colors, especially when transitioning from very light hair to a darker shade. More than just a color-boosting base coat, khadi Color Prep acts as a keratin treatment thanks to its Senna/Cassia content. It strengthens and smooths your hair, sealing rough textures while creating a warm golden-blonde base. This foundation ensures even application of your chosen khadi Natural Hair Color and enhances vibrancy, even for cool-toned shades.

khadi Color Prep should only be used with recommended shades: Dark Blonde, Ash Brown, Dark Brown, Black, and Indigo.

The result depends on your natural hair color.

The secret of khadi hair colors lies in the synergy of high pigmentation and Ayurvedic care. Following Ayurvedic principles, we harvest plants at peak pigment potency, selecting only the finest handpicked parts. These are ground into an ultra-fine powder using an innovative process.

Unlike conventional dyes that use oxidizers to open the cuticle, khadi Natural Hair Colors coat each strand in a protective pigment layer. Enriched with Ayurvedic ingredients, the formula nourishes, revitalizes, and strengthens your hair and scalp. The result: Beautiful, healthy hair you can see and feel.

khadi Natural Hair Colors are 100% natural, free from synthetic dyes, fragrances, and preservatives. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for microbiology, heavy metals, and pesticides.

The package includes detailed instructions, color powder, a cap, and gloves.

Easy Application, Great Results. khadi Color Prep is perfect for transitioning from light or gray hair to a darker or ash tone. Follow our step-by-step guide:

Wash your hair thoroughly with a silicone-free shampoo, ideally khadi Deep Cleanse. Mix the Color Prep powder with 175°F (80°C) water until creamy. Apply evenly with a brush or hands (use gloves), strand by strand. For root touch-ups, skip the lengths.

Leave the pre-pigmentation on for about 60 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with clear water, then apply your chosen shade to towel-dried hair as per the instructions.

Post-Treatment Tip: Use khadi ColorFinish Conditioner after rinsing your color to remove any particles and improve manageability. Rinse well with lukewarm water.

Finish Tip: Before your first wash (after 24-48 hours), use khadi Color Care Hair Oil to seal in the color. Leave for at least 20 minutes, then wash with a silicone-free shampoo like khadi SHIKAKAI SHINE.

Note: Every hair type is unique. Test Color Prep and hair color on a hidden strand for best results.

khadi Natural Hair Colors use finely ground herbs, flowers, and roots to naturally color your hair. The pigments form a protective, nourishing layer around the strands, making your hair color more vibrant, shinier, and healthier with each application.
The enveloping formula, combined with nourishing ingredients, strengthens even the finest hair, making it feel fuller and more voluminous after just one use. It also stimulates hair growth and nourishes the roots while maintaining the hair’s natural structure.
ColorPrep provides exceptional care while helping cool or dark shades bond effectively to gray or light hair, allowing for maximum color coverage.
If your hair has become porous from chemical treatments, a pre-treatment with Senna/Cassia or ColorPrep may be beneficial. This helps achieve better color results and even coverage.
