No. Without peroxide, it can't lift colour. Choosing a shade lighter than your natural colour will add gloss and a soft hint of tone rather than lift.

Choose closest to your natural colour. Switching from a box dye? Try one shade lighter than you are used to - our formula can seem slightly darker because it's not mixed with peroxide.

One pouch covers roots or short hair. Two for shoulder length; three for longer or thicker hair. A visual guide is on each colour page, or send us a photo for personal advice.

Always on freshly washed, fully dried hair. Use a clarifying shampoo first to remove product build-up. Avoid oils for the first few days after colouring to prevent transfer onto fabrics.

Please read all instructions carefully, always skin test 48 hours before use and always protect your clothes and home from colour staining. Use old towels.

What you will need from the kitchen:

• Clean bottle with lid
• Measuring jug
• Bowl

See our video for ideas of what to use!

1. Carefully pour 70 ml or 5 tablespoons of hand-hot water into your clean bottle per pouch of Natural Colour Works™ H20 Water Colour. Don’t over dilute.
2. Add all the H20 Water Colour powder into your bottle and screw on the lid tight.
3. Give it a good old vigorous shake for at least 10 seconds until you can’t hear liquid sploshing around anymore. Great for the arms and you now have a bottle of H20 Water Colour foam.

If this is your first time using Natural Colour Works™ H20 Water Colour, or your hair is completely faded out and showing no signs of regrowth, we’d recommend a full head treatment.

1. Start with clean, dry hair that’s been washed with a clarifying shampoo. Don’t use conditioner or 2-in-1 products.
2. Apply a barrier cream or Vaseline to the hairline and ears before colouring to help reduce staining.
3. Wearing water resistant gloves (either ours or your own) pour your Natural Colour Works™ H20 Water Colour foam into a stain resistant bowl and using your tint brush for life apply foam to your roots at roughly 1 cm intervals. 
4. Give any grey an extra thick covering and massage the left-over foam through the rest of the length of your hair evenly.
5. Pile your hair up on top and cover with your Reusable Cap making sure to fix it tightly to prevent any drips or hair drying out. 
6. Leave it on for 90 minutes, then rinse the foam out of your hair until the water runs clear.
7. Use your usual shampoo to wash and rinse again, then apply your conditioner as usual, rinse, style, and you’re good to go.

If you’ve used Natural Colour Works™ H20 Water Colour before and are looking to touch up the roots and boost that glossy shine, follow these simple steps.

1. Start with clean, dry hair that’s been washed with a clarifying shampoo. Don’t use conditioner or 2-in-1 products.
2. Wearing water resistant gloves (either ours or your own) pour your Natural Colour Works™ H20 Water Colour foam into a stain resistant bowl and using your tint brush for life apply foam to your roots just to cover the regrowth. Apply it thickly to grey hair and be careful not to go over your last application. Hold onto the rest of the foam for later and pile your hair up on top with a clip. Cover with your Reusable Cap making sure to fix it tightly to prevent any drips or hair drying out. 
3. Leave it on for 90 minutes, then apply the remaining foam through the rest of your hair, recover with your Reusable Cap and leave for another 15 minutes.
4. Rinse the foam out of your hair until the water runs clear. Use your usual shampoo to wash and rinse again, then apply your conditioner as usual, rinse, style, and you’re good to go.
