Pewarna Rambut Shurah : 03 Burgundi Review and Instruction to use

Hello peeps!

Today, I am gonna be reviewing a hair dye from Shurah. I bought the 'Perwarna Rambut Shurah' in shade 03 Burgundi. Actually, I wanted to dye my hair so badly a long time ago but I really thought that those commercialized hair coloring products will do damage to my hair, plus some of the products will coat your hair strands so they are kinda waterproof thus you can't really perform solah with them on. Previously, I had colored my hair in deep red at some random hair salon and I remembered that I paid almost MYR 300 for that! My hair was still damaged from all the chemicals tho. LMAO. O_O So I guess henna-based product will be sufficient enough for me since I am a full-time hijab wearer and also to avoid any permanent hair damage. I went for Shurah since it was the only henna based product in the market at that moment.

Shurah's answer for hair coating

So, I got the product from a local drugstore for MYR 17++ and I noticed that Watson and Guardian do not really stock any of Shurah products. My hair is very thin and is by shoulder-length so one box is actually enough for me. You might want to buy an extra box if your hair is thicker and longer.

The Packaging

The product comes with 4 stuff inside it :

1. Milk activator 60 ml
2. Hair color cream 40 g
3. Hair moisturizer 20 ml (which is surprisingly good)
4. 2 plastic gloves 

Extra stuff that you need to start :

1. A clean bowl (wear and tear cuz the color will stick permanently)
2. A plastic spoon to stir the mixture.
3. A plastic shower cap.
4. A thin comb.
5. A shirt that you hate lol cuz it's gonna be messy.

The Instruction :

1. Mix and stir all of the activator and hair color cream together in a bowl until the color appears really nicely. The instruction that comes with it says that you have to mix and shake it in the activator bottle. IMO stirring it in a bowl with a spoon will make the consistency better.
2. Start coloring from the bottom layer of your hair. Make sure that the roots are given more attention.
3. Let it stay on for more than an hour. I recommend you guys to wait for 2 hours. I have read around the net about the instruction. Most of them claimed that 20 to 40 minutes are not sufficient enough to get a good coloring. So I went for more than an hour.. exactly one and a half.
4. After 1 to 2 hours, rinse your hair until there is no product excess left on your hair. Make sure it's clean enough so it won't stain.
5. Use the moisturizer provided. (Or any of your own)

Verdict :

So for me, the color does not turn into my desired burgundy or even look like the model's hair on the box. It looks more like a dark copper with a hint of purple on my jet black hair. And I did not do it myself  (my husband helped to put it on me and he knew nothing about hair coloring lol) so some of the spots are not dyed perfectly. I got it good on my roots but not on the bottom length of my hair lmao. Honestly, it looks like a reverse ombre-style with copper on the top and dark brown on the bottom length...lol

I won't be able to post any picture of mine but it somewhat looks like this girl's hair in below link :

So I probably have to buy another box to dye the bottom length. Sigh.
