FAQ
Product and composition
It is a healthy alternative to conventional hair coloring. The natural pigments of the plants are fixed around the hair scales, do not open them and do not penetrate the bloodstream. The hair is not weakened, on the contrary, it is sheathed.
It visibly improves the health and appearance of the hair because the plants chosen have natural properties that visibly improve its structure and appearance.
Tresse plant-based coloring is 100% certified organic, and contains no endocrine disruptors, PPD, resorcinol, oxidants, heavy metals, metallic salts or color enhancers.
Tresse plant-based hair coloring attaches to the hair scales, and does open them, unlike conventional (chemical) hair coloring that "opens" the scales to deposit the color and reaches the hair shaft and blood circulation. In the long run, the hair is weakened, becomes brittle and porous.
Tresse blends in with the natural color of your hair. It coats and protects the hair fiber. We recommend that you choose the shade closest to your natural color, or one tone above. Natural pigments allows you to intensify your base color, to bring beautiful highlights or to cover white hair in a natural way, without any "helmet" effect. Since it does not contain any chemicals, it does not lighten the hair.
Yes, it covers white hair in a natural way, without a painted on effect.

Use
1/ WASH & TOWEL DRY YOUR HAIR
2/ MIX plant powder with warm water
3/ APPLY section by section on your hair (or just on the roots for touch ups)
4/ LEAVE IN during the indicated time
(1h in one step or 1h+1h30 in two steps if you have grey hair)
5/ RINSE until the water runs clear
Look HERE for the precise step-by-step application ritual.
Wait at least 48 hours before shampooing; this gives the pigments time to react with air and attach to your hair. The color will reach its final shade within two days
It naturally sets thanks to the reaction with the air, with a definitive result within a few days.
Just with clear water. Be careful not to dry hair at too high a temperature so as not to 'burn' the color
Nous recommandons d’utiliser des produits et soins capillaires bio, sans silicones ni parabènes.
We recommend using organic products and hair care, without silicones or parabens.
The vegetable coloring coats the hair, makes it stronger, and can in some cases make it drier. If you notice that your hair is drier with each application, we recommend that you apply an after-shampoo treatment.
In the case of a maintenance plant color (roots), you can apply it only on the regrowth (while respecting the application time)
The application time varies depending on the color chosen. To color your hair with plants, you must be patient, because natural pigments have a long release time. Respect the application time, the success of the coloring depends on it.
The natural plant pigments react naturally with your hair, and the final color result depends on your hair’s structure, nature, characteristics, current color and ability to absorb color.
Results from plant-based dyes can’t be standardized. Any chemical modifications, such as chemical dyes, bleaching, balayage or highlights, increase the intensity of plant-based colors. When hair has been made more sensitive and the cuticles opened up, color can be different and more intense, since the hair “drinks” the color.
Take the time to conduct a test on a strand of hair to be sure of the results on your hair.
If you’ve had a conventional dyeing process, bleaching, highlights, balayage, a permanent blowout or straightening, wait four weeks before using Tresse and do a test on a lock of hair.
If you have more than 40% gray hair, the overall color result may be less intense.
It has a very specific smell (spinach/wood fire), which will also fade after 3 to 4 shampoos.
It can take 3 to 4 shampoos for the color to bleed through, while the excess pigment is being washed out. Be sure to dry your hair well before getting dressed, to avoid any colored halo on light clothes.
You have two options: Either give it time to work - plant-based color will gradually fade after 6 to 9 weeks. Or use a natural mask (e.g. white clay and coconut oil) to lighten a nuance that is too dark for your taste. This will not lighten the basic color of your hair but will rectify the shade a little.

Plant-based hair color is tenacious. If you respected the application time and the instructions, your hair color will "take".
When a formula contains indigo, we often notice on light hair (white/grey/blonde) right after application a tint that pulls towards green/khaki. Don’t be afraid, it will change. In a few hours, the indigo pigments will oxidize in contact with the air and will naturally return the desired brown shade.
We have designed our colorings to not 'turn'. It is possible that if you pre-pigment white hair, you may get very slight red highlights, which will also fade.
