Covering Grey with Logona Herbal Hair Colours

You can cover grey hair with Logona herbal hair colours. Because it coats the hair strand with a coloured glaze, it will produce a lighter shade on the grey hair than on the none grey hair. The more grey you have the lighter the overall colour result will be. The different colour gradiations in your hair, including the grey can produce facinating multi-coloured results. 

If you apply several coats  you can get better coverage of the grey. You must wait at least 12 hours before puting an other coat on.

If you put a dye containing a lot of henna on to hair which is more than 40% grey there is a risk that it can give an orange tint to it.  So for coverage of more than 40% grey start with one or two coats of   Natural Brown  or  Brown Umber in the Hair Colour Powders, or  Nougat Brown in the Colour Creams, as these contain less henna. Use this as a base coat and then if desired repeat with a darker colour or a shade with more henna in it.

Henna Black is not suitable for applying directly to grey hair as it can sometimes give a bluish tint because it contains indigo.  It is better to mix the black with the Brown Umber or apply a coat of Brown Umber first.

The Copper Blonde Colour Cream will often give a very light colour on the grey which is hardly noticeable unless you have naturally very light coloured hair. In this case you can mix it with nougat brown to give better coverage of grey.

Natural dyes without chemicals cannot radically change in your hair colour for example hair that is completely white cannot become a dark colour. 

You cannot lighten your hair with natural dyes.

Applying heat after applying the dye, such as with a hairdryer, will strengthen the colour. 

You can also mix black tea with the powders to achieve a darker colour. Remember to remove the leaves from the Tea bag as these bags may contain bleach. 

With natural hair dyes you dont know exactly how a shade is going to turn out on your hair until you try it.  You need to experiment to find out what shade and number of applications will achieve the desired results. Always do a strand test first.
