Persevere with Logona Herbal Hair Colours and the results will be worthwhile. I invested £70 and a good few hours of experimental mixing and strand testing before I was able to achieve a result I was happy with. In the end, I purchased four different colours and also found that the clay based cleansing pre-treatment was beneficial. (This in itself seemed to tone down my original look before I started with the Logona colours). I have chemically coloured hair with some lighter blonde colours on a mid/dark brown natural base and wanted to stop the chemical process and find something more natural and cost effective. I wanted to tone down the lighter colours to match in with my natural colour whilst I grow it out. Originally I tried Chestnut Brown but it didn't touch my existing colour and I was disappointed. In the end, it was necessary to use the henna black as a base - I came up with a formula of half black, a quarter umber brown and a quarter mahogony. It was necessary to add the mahogony to change the blondest parts of my chemically treated hair a warm chestnut - without this, the henna black on its own made the blonde greenish. I was worried that the blonder dyed hair would be very absorbant and soak up the colour - in reality, getting any colour to 'take' on top of the blonde was the biggest challenge and I get the feeling that it was the redness of the Mahogony combined with the black that did the trick. I left a full eight weeks between the last salon chemical treatment and attempting this at home. I used coffee in the hot water mix and left it on for two full hours. I think I will need to repeat this process and build up the colour but at least I've managed to tone down the blonde look to achieve something far more warm and natural. I am a very allergic, sensitive person so for me it's worth the time and experimentation. The products are very gentle - if you spill or splash, they simply wipe away without staining. Aside from my initial investment, I reckon I will save £350 a year on salon colouring. It's fiddly to start with but I'm optimistic that this will be a safer, more economic process producing a warm, pretty look. I'm waving goodbye to the tangled, damaged mess chemicals have caused and moving onto a stylish new look!!

I used Logona several times and the colours were all too light and ginger, so I tried by adding black and this worked better the last time I used chestnut and 40% black and finally have a wonderful light auburn colour completely covering my grey roots. I realise it is an ordeal and messy but the result on my very fine thin hair is so much improved than other so called natural dies like Herbatint and Naturtint which over a period of months thinned my hair,that it has to be worth it, just persevere

If you have hair that tangles...be scared be very scared. I don't know what to do exactly about the tangle issue for me.

I bought the Natural Brown Logona Herbal Hair Colours to try after a bad reaction to the dyes in commercial colorants. The product was easy to use, albeit a little messy, but I am onto my second box, and that went a lot smoother. The powder mixes easily and the applicator brush (sold separately) works well.
I left the product on for 40 minutes and was pleasantly surprised at the results. Very natural looking coverage with highlights as the product allows your hairs natural colour variations to show through. My five grey hairs were also covered very effectively. I'd be careful if very grey though, because Henna can turn some peoples grey a wonderful orange so do what it says on the box. Test a strand.
I called Logona in the UK and they were very helpful with my initial enquiries.
I purchased the product online from logona.co.uk, got it the next day, and would definitely recommend Logona Herbal Hair colour to anyone looking for a natural alternative.
