▼Description

Every hair color is naturally unique – and so are khadi Natural Hair Colors. khadi Color Prep pre-treatment is the ideal primer if you want to go from very light to dark hair. Find out if you need khadi Color Prep in the khadi Color Chart.

When do you use it?

From Very Light to Dark

khadi Color Prep forms an optimal primer for the color change from very light to a darker shade. It will deposit a strawberry blonde to intense copper base color on your hair making the transition easier. Use Color Prep before you color with your desired shade. 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.

◄Ingredients

Cassia auriculata leaf powder (Senna), Lawsonia inermis leaf powder (Henna), Ziziphusjujuba leaf powder (Sidr), Ziziphus spinachristileaf powder (Zizisphus)

◄How To Use

The 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.

Helps with grey coverage

This was my first time trying Khadi Beauty. I used color prep before applying ash brown. It helped with grey coverage, and it gave my hair golden highlights. (My natural hair is medium brown). Highly recommend.

Hi there, Good job educating yourself on our color process before coloring with khadi Color Prep is a must with some of our shades and we're happy you purchased all the necessary products to effectively color your hair with our plant-based dye. Best Regards, khadi Color Crew Team

It really helped cover my gray.

I had been using straight henna for years, but as my hair got grayer, the henna was turning it orange. Using the Color Prep prior to the hair color (Ash Brown), completely covered the gray.

Hi there, We loved hearing how Color Prep helped fix your issue with covering up grays. Thanks for trusting khadi with your natural hair coloring needs! Best Regards, khadi Color Crew Team

Excellent product to prep your hair for using darker hair colors like black after it. Acts as an important step to cover greys very nicely.

Another great product by Khadi!

This product acts as a hair color layer that enhances your next color application. Covered my grays into golden rays! I love it.

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

Awesome product

I 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.

Excellent

Khadi color prep is amazing. It is very easy to prepare and to set due to the excellent quality of the powder ( very fine). It really covers all the white-grey hair and allows to achieve the chosen color all over .

Hi Cristina, We couldn't agree more with your sentiments! It's a must for many of our darker shades when gray coverage is required, going from very light hair to one of our darker shades or when hair is simply chemically over-processed. Best Regards, khadi Color Crew Team

Really works!

I used this to cover my grey/white hair in the front before I used the Khadi Blue Black. (I have very dark hair) and I worried that it would make all my cool dark hair look warm and strange, but I should not have worried. It just coloured my greys a sort of yellowy/orange colour, and then that got covered over by the blue black. It is an extra step but it's totally worth it to not be soaking your head with dangerous chemicals every few weeks!

AMAZING RESULTS!

Love this so much!

Somehow works

It does dye better if I use it but still the stubborn grey is dying lightly

Hello there, Thank you for using our Color Prep before coloring your hair with your desired khadi shade. If the Color Prep isn't fully covering up your grays, try increasing the processing time from 60 to 120 minutes. The extra processing time should effectively cover up resistant grays. Best Regards, khadi Color Crew Team
