Deepen the Cool Tone with Hibiscus or Beetroot Tea

For an extra cool, jewel-toned wine finish, use brewed hibiscus or beetroot tea in both steps โ€” when mixing Henna Pure in Step 1 and again with the Wine Red powder in Step 2. Both teas are rich in natural red-purple pigments that amplify this shade's deep, luxurious undertones beautifully.

  • Deep burgundy-wine tone across all hair โ€” dramatic, rich, and long-lasting
  • Color continues to develop and intensify over the first 48 hours after rinsing

๐ŸŒŸ Results & Pro Tips

  • Wine Red's indigo content makes Step 1 essential on gray hair โ€” it's the difference between wine red and an unwanted green or gray tone.
  • Hibiscus or beetroot tea in both steps pushes the color toward a richer, cooler jewel tone โ€” highly recommended for this shade.
  • After rinsing, the color looks warm first, then cools and deepens into wine red over 48 hours โ€” trust the oxidation process.
  • Avoid shampooing for 2 full days to allow the indigo to fully develop and bond.
  • Use a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo going forward to preserve the cool red-purple tones between applications.
