WHY WE STOCK IT

A plant-based powder hair colour that coats the hair with translucent golden-blonde tones while adding shine, body and bounce. It is mixed with water and contains no ammonia, hydrogen peroxide or conventional oxidative hair dyes.

Buttercup Blonde is a colour-depositing treatment—not a lightener. The natural hair colour remains visible beneath the sheer botanical pigment.

BEST FOR

Naturally blonde, light-grey or white hair needing warmer, golden highlights. The result varies considerably according to the starting colour:

• Blonde or light-grey hair may develop noticeable butter-yellow or golden tones.

• White hair may take on brighter yellow-gold highlights.

• Light-brown hair may show subtle warmth and added shine.

• Dark-brown or black hair is unlikely to become visibly blonde.

This product cannot lighten dark hair or remove existing artificial colour. Results may be brighter or less even on bleached, porous, highlighted or predominantly grey hair. Perform a strand test before colouring the entire head.

Henna-based colour generally fades gradually, but some pigment can remain on porous hair and may be difficult to remove.

HOW TO USE IT

Follow the complete directions enclosed with the physical package. General preparation directions are:

• Protect clothing and nearby surfaces, and put on disposable gloves.

• Place the required amount of powder in a non-metal bowl.

• Gradually add warm water while stirring until a smooth, spreadable paste forms.

• Apply evenly to clean, damp hair, working from the roots to the ends.

• Cover the hair with a plastic cap to keep the mixture warm and moist.

• Leave it on for the time specified on the package. Comparable Colora powder directions suggest approximately 30–45 minutes for lighter colour and up to 60 minutes for greater depth.

• Rinse thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Shampoo and condition according to the package directions.

The colour may continue developing during the first 24–48 hours. Wait until it has fully developed before evaluating the final shade.

Mix only what is required for one application. Do not return wet or contaminated powder to the original package.

SAFETY CAUTIONS

For external use only. Complete a skin-patch test at least 48 hours before every application and perform a separate strand test. Botanical ingredients can still cause allergic reactions, and a negative patch test does not guarantee that a reaction will not occur.

Do not use on an irritated, injured, infected or severely inflamed scalp. Avoid contact with the eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, mouth and broken skin. If the product enters the eyes, rinse immediately and continuously with lukewarm water.

Stop use and rinse thoroughly if intense burning, itching, blistering or marked redness develops. Seek urgent medical attention for facial or throat swelling, wheezing, faintness or difficulty breathing.

Henna colour can interact unpredictably with bleach, permanent colour, relaxers or perms—particularly when the composition of a previous botanical colour is unknown. Show the ingredient label to your stylist and perform a strand test before any subsequent chemical treatment. Do not bleach over henna-treated hair without professional guidance.

Wear gloves because the mixture may stain skin, nails, towels, clothing, grout and other porous surfaces. Mix carefully to avoid inhaling airborne powder.

Keep out of reach of children and pets. Consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding if you have allergies, asthma, a sensitive scalp or a history of reactions to botanical hair products.
