Signature Routine – Herbal Hair Color Preparation (optimized pigment uptake & even results)

This herbal hair color preparation routine is a signature routine created by Natur’All Hair. It is part of a global approach to natural hair routines, designed to support each step of the plant-based hair care journey.

This routine has been developed to prepare the hair fiber to receive plant-based pigments under optimal conditions, helping achieve more even color results, better intensity and longer-lasting color, especially when hair is overloaded with styling products, rich treatments or residues, or during a transition to herbal hair coloring.

The routine follows a simple principle: purify without stripping, then lightly hydrate, without creating a barrier before applying plant-based color. The result is cleaner, more receptive hair and an ideal foundation before any herbal hair coloring.

✅ What this routine includes

This routine is designed to work as a coherent system, preparing the hair fiber without weighing it down, in order to support optimal pigment uptake.

• A purification step to remove residue and free the hair fiber.
• A light detangling and softening step, without coating or film-forming effects.

Who is this routine for?

• Before a first herbal hair coloring (henna, plant-based dyes).
• During a transition from chemical to plant-based hair color.
• Hair that struggles to absorb color or shows uneven results.
• Dull or overloaded hair weighed down by rich treatments.
• Grey hair requiring improved pigment adherence.

If transitioning from chemical hair color:
Hair that is still heavily impregnated with chemical pigments may require several herbal applications. This routine helps create a clean and receptive base before fully committing to plant-based coloring.

Benefits of the routine

• Purifies the hair fiber and limits residue that can block plant-based pigments.
• Improves color uniformity.
• Enhances color longevity over time.
• Maintains hair softness thanks to light hydration.
• Creates an ideal foundation before henna and herbal hair coloring.

Please note: this routine prepares the hair for herbal hair coloring. It does not replace the coloring process itself and has no direct coloring effect.

How to use (simple & effective)

When to start?
Ideally 7 to 3 days before applying herbal hair color. This preparation can also be carried out in an express version if needed.

1) Purify
Perform 1 to 2 shampoos to gently cleanse the hair fiber. Massage the scalp thoroughly and rinse well.

2) Detangle & soften
Apply a lightweight hydrating conditioner to lengths and ends. Leave on for 2 to 3 minutes, gently detangle, then rinse thoroughly.

On coloring day
Hair should be clean, dry or slightly damp and free from any product (no oils, serums, creams or leave-in treatments).

What to avoid before herbal hair coloring

• Oil treatments, plant butters and very nourishing masks.
• Heavy or coating styling products.
• Serums, creams or treatments that leave a film on the hair fiber.

Curly, coily or kinky hair:
This routine is also suitable for textured hair, provided that hydration remains lightweight and all rich or oily products are avoided before application.
