Radico Colour Me Organic (Soft Black)

I used the dark brown color after suffering from allergic reactions to the permanent and semi-permanent hair commercial products. I am now done with chemical products after many years of use and am glad to have found a natural dye solution for my gray hair. Because it is a natural product, I have to be content with the fact that it does not work in the same time frame or conditions as a chemical product. It is a dry powder and you need to mix it with hot (not boiling) water. My hair is shoulder length so I can get 3 applications out of a 22 oz box. First: You MUST wash your hair and NOT apply conditioner. A hard habit to break. This product needs to absorb into your hair shaft. Time:It seemed to work best when I left it on for 90 minutes and used the hair dryer for heat at least 3 times with 20 minute intervals between. Smell: It smells "green" like plants. I don't know any other way to describe it. But to me it is better than the toxic chemical smells of other hair products. Effectiveness: Acceptable coverage of gray hair but not as thorough as a chemical product. It will be different for each individual. Hair Condition: My scalp is now healed of the rash, itching, and blisters, as well as the dry hair I was suffering from with the chemical hair color product. My hair was soft, and shiny after use of the Radico. Final Evaluation: I am willing to deal with the change in process between a natural product like Radico and chemical hair color products because I am no longer exposing my system to cancer causing products. Fortunately, my scalp and hair agree with my choice.

It doesn't deserve the one star, it's junk and a waste of time and money, do not buy. It did not color my hair at all, let alone the gray hair. I left the dye on for 90 mins and it did absolutely nothing. I'm very disappointed.

The color is good, though there is a slight green cast in some spots. Did excellent at covering the grey and whites. Wasn't as soft as I had hoped, and has a strong smell of spinach. Would have given it 5 stars if it had made my hair softer and it had less of a spinachy smell.

This is the only dye I've used for years because it contains no chemicals. The ones with chemicals, including others said to be healthier products (false advertising), cause me to break out in horrible burning itching eczema, not to mention that the most toxic chemical used in almost all of them is said to induce cancer. That said, it doesn't work very well. It has to be gooped on very thick and left for at least eight hours, and even then, there will be some silver shining through on roots if I look closely when it is done. One comment suggested not washing it with shampoo, just water, for a couple of washes, which I did but didn't notice a big difference. I can't do this well myself so I pay a hairdresser to apply it for me (some salons refuse to apply it on ridiculous legal grounds) and walk out with it on and wash it out later myself. It also has a swampy smell that takes a while to fade. Then the color begins wearing out somewhat quickly. That said, I am happy to have a hair dye without chemicals in a world loaded with toxic chemicals, including almost every other hair dye, which make me sick. And I'm happy to not have grey hair which looks terrible with my skin tone. The color and texture when fresh is actually quite nice. And also, this dye comes out easily from towels and clothes.

It made my hair turn red and I have blonde undertones in my hair. I really wanted a natural hair color to not damage my hair so

I love this product and have been using it for about a year now. I tried the strawberry blond and the auburn red first before liking the light brown best. The strawberry blond and auburn red left my hair a bit too bright for my taste. I've found the light brown has a slight reddish color which is all I"m looking for. I feel this product works best on hair that has not been dyed with chemicals. When I first started using it half my hair had been dyed blonde with chemicals and the dye didn't take very well until after several applications; however, the part of my hair that had grown out and was not previously dyed worked great with the organic hair color on the first take. Don't leave it on much longer than the directions say especially if you're using one of the reddish dyes; there's a good chance it will look like a clown. As for the smell, if you are used to scents and fragrances of conventional beauty care products this might smell weird to you. I don't mind the smell personally. It sure beats the eye-stinging smell of chemical hair dyes that warn you to have good ventilation when you use them! When you mix the dye the color is green, but I promise that my hair has come out looking the color on the box every time. Overall I love this product. It gives my hair a great color and leaves it shiny and soft. If you are looking to change to natural/organic beauty products you've found the hair dye you've been looking for.

Deserves no stars. It's absolute garbage. If stinks, doesn't color hair and leaves an unattractive green tint on your hair. Terrible product.

I like to dye my hair a light ash brown/blonde, but it always fades to a brassy color. I hated re-dyeing my hair because that meant I was constantly applying chemicals to my scalp, which always led to a headache that lasted the entire day. So I decided to search online and came across this one. I didn't know whether to choose one of the ash blondes or the other colors, so I found some color swatches online and decided to choose the wheat blonde since that was the ashiest of all of them. I tried it out as soon as I received it and I did a strand test to see if it would give the color I was looking for and then applied it fully to my hair and left it on for 40 minutes. After washing it out and blow drying, my hair looked great and was the exact shade of ash brown/blonde I wanted. My hair was also shinier and looked healthier. I have a little below shoulder length hair and I didn't even have to use the entire package. I still have enough for another application. The instructions were simple and it comes with gloves, an application brush and a plastic cap. It is truly organic and it makes me feel awesome that I'm not using a product with chemicals like PPD, ammonia, parabens, etc. It is pricier than regular boxed drugstore dyes, but overall, I absolutely love this hair color and will continue to use it. I highly recommend! :)

It didn’t cover a single white hair! What a disappointment! What a waste of time and money!

I was told by a hairdresser don’t use henna it will make your hair horrible I’m glad I didn’t listen to that hairdresser my hair has never looked better and the Radico henna hasn’t got any nasty chemicals in it. I’m so happy with the Radico brand and it’s natural.

Very good product

It’s very good colour and chemical free I’m very happy to see result this colour n older again
