ONC NATURALCOLORS healthier permanent hair color dye with certified organic ingredients. Hair coloring kit for home use.
NATURALCOLORS is the healthier hair color dye with certified organic ingredients and perfect gray coverage. It is applied using heat to open the cuticles. This method protects the hair from damaging, unhealthy ammonia used in chemical color dye to open the cuticle. The pH value of NATURALCOLORS is much lower than chemical color dyes and many "natural" hair colors dyes. After rinsing the hair's pH value is closer to a neutral value. The scale layer of the hair, the cuticle, is closed, and the color does not fade, providing a more natural, permanent solution.

- Shampoo to clean the hair of colored hair sprays, mascaras to cover gray before using the color
- Mix in a bowl for best results
- Use as soon as Color Gel and Colorfix are mixed
- Adjust the color mix for thick or coarse hair 2:1 (Color Gel : Colorfix)
- Emulsify/massage color that is already on the hair with warm water for 3 minutes before shampooing (helps push more color in to the hair)
- Shampoo and condition only after emulsifying. As our colors do not have the chemical glue other colors have, we recommend sulfate-free, paraben-free, low pH shampoos and conditioners. This will stop the color from fading faster
- Use sulfate-free, paraben-free, low pH shampoos and conditioners for longer lasting results
Don’t…
- Compare NATURALCOLORS to other chemical hair colors
- Use if the color out of the color bottle has turned black
- Apply heat to already colored or bleached hair except when indicated
- Expect immediate results if your hair has recently (within 3 months) been colored with Henna
THE IMPORTANCE OF APPLYING HEAT
Chemical hair colors have harsh chemicals and a high pH. Both are used to open the hair cuticle and force color into the hair. This is damaging to your hair, scalp and health.
NATURALCOLORS pH is very low. It cannot open the hair cuticle with a high pH like chemical colors. Instead, NATURALCOLORS uses heat to open the cuticle and penetrate the color. Heat opens the cuticles of the hair in the same way as a sauna opens the pores of your skin. There is no itch and no damage to your hair or scalp. This is a much healthier approach than traditional chemical color, for your hair, your scalp and your health.
Men do no need to use heat. Apply. Wait 30 minutes for full gray coverage. Or 15-20 minutes for a 'salt and pepper' look. Rinse.
BEFORE USING NATURALCOLORS
Hair colors may cause allergic reactions. Temporary black henna tattoos may increase your risk of allergy.
Even if you have colored your hair with this or another hair color before, we strongly recommend you conduct a preliminary test two days before every application.
PRELIMINARY TEST
- Mix a small amount of Color Gel with Colorfix.
- Dab a dime-sized amount of this mixture behind your ear or inside forearm.
- Check the area two days later. Do not use NATURALCOLORS if there is any rash, swelling or irritation.
COLOR CHECK
To ensure the best color result, carry out a color check using the same mix you used for the preliminary test. If your hair is colored, permed, bleached, or has had a henna color, it can absorb more pigment and the color result can be darker. To make the test, take a one inch strand, and wearing the gloves provided, apply the mix. Leave for the full development time. Rinse well and dry.
