Mahogany - Organic Hair Color

How Is Mahogany Different from Burgundy?

Though both shades feature red undertones, they differ subtly in tone and intensity:

• Mahogany: A warmer red-brown shade with a red-orange reflection. It appears brighter and more brown-toned.

• Burgundy: A deeper red-violet shade with cooler undertones and greater intensity.

Mahogany is perfect for those seeking warmth and vibrancy, while Burgundy offers cooler depth and drama.

Mahogany Hair Color for Your Skin Tone

• Light Skin Tone: Adds warmth and gentle contrast

• Medium Skin Tone: Enhances natural glow with red-brown depth

• Dark Skin Tone: Creates rich highlights with luminous warmth

Mahogany adapts beautifully to different undertones, offering a balanced and flattering finish.

Mahogany or Auburn Red?

These two share the same six herbs in the same order on the label — henna first, indigo second, amla third. The difference is in the proportions, which we don't publish — held by one person at our production facility in India.

Mahogany carries more brown depth; Auburn Red runs more copper. If you want the redder of the two, Auburn Red →

What kind of colour this is

Conventional dye lifts your own pigment out and puts synthetic pigment in its place — and a reddish-brown needs lifting first if your hair is darker than the target. This one doesn't lift anything. Lawsone bonds to keratin in the outer layers, so the cuticle stays shut and there is no damage to repair afterwards.

The trade is straightforward: it costs you the option of going lighter, and saves you everything that comes with it.

• Powder-based organic colour for men and women
• Certified organic by ECOCERT
• No peroxide, ammonia, PPD, parabens or synthetic pigment
• Contains indigo — there is a green cast at the first rinse, and it clears within a day
• Colours grey most vividly of all; on darker hair it reads as depth rather than a colour change
• At-home application, no developer to mix
• Not suitable for anyone with a known indigo or plant-dye allergy — patch test first

What to expect over three days

• Right after rinsing — a green cast over the warmth. That's the indigo before it has met the air. Temporary.
• First 12 to 24 hours — the green clears and the henna comes forward, reading warmer and more orange than the finish.
• Days two and three — settles into mahogany as the indigo finishes. Judge your colour here.

Do not blow-dry. Not while the paste is on, and not for the first 24 hours after rinsing. Dry the paste and nothing transfers; dry the hair afterwards and the colour stalls partway. Shower cap while it processes, air-dry after.
