BLUEBERRY

Ok, I was skeptical but really wanted a better way to cover greys without using a box-dye every 3-4 weeks as it was starting to irritate my scalp. I have naturally dark brown hair and went with a mix 1/3 blueberry / 2/3 roasted coffee. The precess is interesting - I embarked on this experiment with a friend and we applied the mud to each other's hair. I think this is crucial for even coverage, especially if your hair is long and/or thick. The mud smells bad, there is no way to soften that - it is very earthy and strong. The colour I achieved is great, I am so happy with it. It does have bold red undertones, so I'm glad I used the cooler blueberry in the mix to temper that. I can't speak to longevity of the colour yet, but none of it washed out after the first wash. I am super hopeful that I have found my "forever" solution to unwanted greys. If you are on the fence I say try this product!

Blueberry worked great to tone down the orange mess of my silver roots after an almond hair color, left on for only 15 minutes it settled well with the rest of my hair. I was told that I can either mix it with almond next time for roots & length or just keep it as a 2nd step. Don’t forget the clarifying shampoo so it can really deposit onto your hair. I’m loving recipe botánica so far!

I was given some helpful advice and a did a few trial strand tests. I’ve now got a rich warm brown colour using a combination of Rose Mocha, Chamomile and blueberry. I am so glad to have found a natural Hair dye which will hopefully be better for my hair.
