The 96-Hour Promise

Colour that keeps its word.

Most black looks right for an evening. Ours is built to settle, deepen and lock — a colour that reads richer on the fourth day than the first.

  1. Hour 00

    Mixed, not masked

    Blended to a silk and applied root to tip. No ammonia sharpness, no fumes — just pigment suspended in fruit oils.

  2. Hour 01

    Rinsed to clear

    Fifteen minutes under the cap, then water until it runs clean. The cuticle closes flat, so light sits on the surface instead of scattering.

  3. Hour 48

    The tone settles

    Grape and blueberry antioxidants calm the undertone. The black stops reading blue and starts reading made.

  4. Hour 96

    Locked

    Pigment and keratin are bound. Depth holds through wash, heat and weather — then holds its line for up to eight weeks.

The Ritual

Three moves. Fifteen minutes.

A salon result without the salon chair. Follow the order — the formula does the rest.

Step 01 Prepare
  1. 01
    2 minutes

    Prepare

    Empty one sachet into the developer and stir until the paste turns glossy. Section dry, unwashed hair into four.

  2. 02
    10 minutes

    Apply

    Saturate root to tip, working the formula through the lengths last. The paste stays exactly where you put it.

  3. 03
    3 minutes

    Reveal

    Rinse to running water and dry. The black is immediate; the depth arrives over the next ninety-six hours.

Inside the Black

Three fruits. One depth.

The colour is black. Everything holding it in place is fruit — pressed, filtered and suspended in a base that behaves like silk.

  • 01

    Grape seed

    The gloss. Antioxidant oils seal the cuticle so light reflects in one clean line.

    Shine
  • 02

    Blueberry

    The depth. Anthocyanins hold the tone cool and stop black from turning brassy.

    Tone
  • 03

    Cherry

    The softness. Vitamin C and fruit acids smooth the strand, so the finish feels like second-day silk.

The Difference

Why not ordinary dye?

Ordinary black is a compromise between coverage and comfort. We refused the compromise, then built the formula around the refusal.

The House

Drawn by hand.
Pressed into every box.

Every carton begins as a drawing — vine, berry and leaf, worked in line before a single gram of formula is mixed. It is a slow way to make packaging. It is the only way we know how.

Black is the only colour that refuses to be ordinary.

One Shade, Endless Depth

Black is not one black.

There is no second shade to choose. The same Natural Black shifts with the light — warm at a candle, cool in daylight, liquid at midnight.

01

Candlelight

Plum and lacquer. The warmth sits just under the surface.

02

Daylight

A cool teal glint where the cuticle catches the sun.

03

Midnight

Gold at the edge, absolute black at the centre.

One formula. One shade. The depth is in the light.

“The first black I have worn that looks expensive in every light.”

Questions

Before you commit.

The things people ask before their first application. If yours is not here, a colour specialist will answer it directly.

Ask a colour specialist
Will it cover resistant grey?

Yes — 100% coverage on the first pass for most hair. On very resistant roots, leave the formula five extra minutes before rinsing.

Is it really ammonia free?

Yes. No ammonia and no PPD. The formula is low-odour, so the process smells of fruit rather than chemicals.

How long does the black last?

The depth locks at ninety-six hours. After that, expect up to eight weeks of true tone before regrowth — not fade — becomes the reason to reapply.

Can I use it on relaxed or previously coloured hair?

Yes on relaxed hair. After a previous colour, wait four weeks so the cuticle has fully settled before applying again.

Which format should I choose?

The carton is the full ritual. The sachet is one application, ideal for travel. The bottle is built for repeat use at home. A colour-safe shampoo is coming soon.

a colour.
