HAIR COLOUR AND HAIR CARE IN ONE BOTTLE

ONC NATURALCOLORS healthier permanent hair colour dye with certified organic ingredients. Hair colouring kit for home use.

NATURALCOLORS is a revolutionary hair colour dye that is able to provide you the beautiful colour you're looking for without the risks of commercial, chemical laden, hair colour dyes. ONC actually cares about your health and well-being. This is why NATURALCOLORS was designed from the ground up to be healthier, safer and extremely effective.

NATURALCOLORS is the healthier hair colour dye with certified organic ingredients and perfect grey coverage. It is applied using heat to open the cuticles. This method protects the hair from damaging, unhealthy ammonia used in chemical colour dye to open the cuticle. The pH value of NATURALCOLORS is much lower than chemical colour dyes and many "natural" hair colours 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 colour does not fade, providing a more natural, permanent solution.

WHAT IS HAIR?

Hair is made mainly from keratin protein like skin and fingernails.

WHAT IS ORGANIC?

Organic is a method of growing where no chemicals are used. Soil must be free from any chemicals for seven years before use. Every stage from seeding to harvest, making to use, is carefully controlled. Organic is healthier, protecting you, the environment, and the future.

Chemical colour with hormone boosted coconut; oranges grown in mulch or GM corn may legally be called “natural”, but not “organic.” Only colour with real organic contents can be called “organic.”

HOW DOES CHEMICAL HAIR COLOUR WORK?

It is the result of chemical reactions between hair, colour pigment and peroxide and ammonia.

WHAT ARE PEROXIDE AND AMMONIA?

Peroxide is bleach. Ammonia is a smelly gas dissolved in water to make a strong alkaline solution. It is often used in drain cleaner. It is dangerous. You should not breath the gas in. It has a very high pH.

WHAT IS pH?

pH is a scale of numbers used to show how acid or alkaline a liquid is.

Pure water is neutral (7)

7 – 0 is getting more acid

Hair starts to breakup from 11

NATURALCOLORS pH is 8.5. Chemical colour is 10.5. The difference between a pH of 8.5 and 10.5 is not 2 it is 20. Jumps are 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, etc. like the scale used for earthquakes.

Very high pH burns hair, skin and fingernails. This is one reason why colourists wear gloves. It is also why it can feel itchy or hot when your hair is coloured with chemical hair colour. It dries the hair out. It is one of the main causes of split ends.

WHY ARE PEROXIDE AND AMMONIA USED IN HAIR COLOUR DYE?

Peroxide is used to lighten hair. Ammonia is used to open the hair cuticle.

WHAT IS THE HAIR CUTICLE?

It is the outside part of the hair shaft. It is made from dead cells overlapping in layers. It is like scales of a fish. It gives the hair strength and protection. It does not give hair its colour. Hair colour is underneath.

HOW DOES CHEMICAL COLOUR GET IN TO HAIR?

It uses high pH ammonia to force open the cuticle to allow the colour in.

CHEMICAL COLOUR VS. NATURALCOLORS

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT NATURALCOLOURS PIGMENTS?

Each shade of colour is made from 124 – 154 top quality items, treated and stabilized individually, to create the perfect pigment. Each organic part is blended to produce natural pigments instead of using high levels of PPD.

HOW DOES NATURALCOLORS GET IN TO HAIR?

NATURALCOLORS has lower pH compared to chemical hair colours with ammonia. Applying heat is necessary to open the hair cuticle in uncoloured hair. To get colour in to your uncoloured hair with a low pH your hair is held in a substance that acts as a moisturizer.

WHY NATURALCOLORS LOW pH IS SO GOOD

NATURALCOLORS low pH does not open the pores of the scalp. So chemicals cannot seep in to the blood stream. When chemicals get in the blood stream they end up in the liver. The body cannot clean these from the liver because the chemicals that make chemical colour stick to hair make it stick to the liver. This is one reason why breast cancer grows year by year.

HOW DOES HEAT OPEN THE CUTICLE?

Heat opens hair cuticles in the same way as the pores of your skin open in a sauna.

IS HEAT IMPORTANT TO HOW THE COLOUR WORKS?

Yes. It is important to follow the instructions carefully.

Do…

• Shampoo to clean the hair of coloured hair sprays, mascaras to cover grey before using the colour
• Mix in a bowl for best results
• Use as soon as Color Gel and Colorfix are mixed
• Adjust the colour mix for coarse or resistant hair 2:1 (Color Gel : Colorfix)
• Emulsify/massage colour that is already on the hair with warm water for 3 minutes before shampooing (helps push more colour in to the hair)
• Shampoo and condition only after emulsifying. As our colours do not have the chemical glue other colours have, we recommend sulfate-free, paraben-free, low pH shampoos and conditioners. This will stop the colour 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 colours
• Use if the colour out of the colour bottle has turned black
• Apply heat to already coloured or bleached hair except when indicated
• Expect immediate results if your hair has recently (within 3 months) been coloured with Henna

THE IMPORTANCE OF APPLYING HEAT

Chemical hair colours have harsh chemicals and a high pH. Both are used to open the hair cuticle and force colour 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 colours. Instead, NATURALCOLORS uses heat to open the cuticle and penetrate the colour. 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 colour, for your hair, your scalp and your health.

Men do no need to use heat. Apply. Wait 30 minutes for full grey coverage. Or 15-20 minutes for a 'salt and pepper' look. Rinse.

BEFORE USING NATURALCOLORS

Hair colours may cause allergic reactions. Temporary black henna tattoos may increase your risk of allergy.

Even if you have coloured your hair with this or another hair colour before, we strongly recommend you conduct a preliminary test two days before every use.

PRELIMINARY TEST

1. Mix a small amount of Color Gel with Colorfix.
2. Dab a dime-sized amount of this mixture behind your ear or inside forearm.
3. Check the area two days later. Do not use NATURALCOLORS if there is any rash, swelling or irritation.

COLOUR CHECK

To ensure the best colour result, carry out a colour check using the same mix you used for the preliminary test. If your hair is coloured, permed, bleached, or has had a henna colour, it can absorb more pigment and the colour 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.

Once the colour is the one you expect, and there was no reaction to the preliminary test, you are ready to use NATURALCOLORS.

The hair must be clean and free from styling products (i.e. Gels, Waxes, Colouring Sprays, etc.) These products can stop the colour from working properly. Make sure to shampoo the hair, (but do NOT condition the hair). Hair must be dry.

PREPARING NATURALCOLORS

Decide on the amount of colour needed. You can mix the Color Gel and the Colorfix in the bowl provided and apply with the brush or you may mix the Color Gel into the Colorfix bottle, shake well, and apply directly from the bottle. Apply to dry hair.
