FAQs

Hair dyes can cause serious allergic reactions. For this reason, we
recommend carefully following the product instructions and performing a
sensitivity test 48 hours before every application. Please read the
instructions included with the product carefully for details on how to perform
the test.

Doing the patch test will help to determine if the product is suitable for you.
However if you experience an allergic reaction, such as intense itching, skin
burning or a skin rash, immediately stop using the product and rinse your hair
with warm water. Contact us on info@mahinaturals.com
so we can advise you. Before using
another hair dye, consult a dermatologist

Approximately 10% of women suffer from Nickel allergy, and Nickel is found in all permanent hair dyes. BioKap is Nickel Tested which means it contains an amount of nickel 10 times lower than the amount that triggers allergic
reactions.
The finished product from each production lot is analysed for nickel.
However, a sensitivity test should still be performed 48 hours before every
application.

Yes, BioKap Nutricolor hair dye can be applied to already coloured hair.
For root touch-ups, choose a shade similar to your existing colour. If you want
to change your current colour, choose a darker shade. If you have a high
percentage of grey hair, choosing a shade one tone darker can help achieve
better coverage.

application. You can choose a shade similar to your natural colour or choose a  a shade one tone darker.

The development time is 10 minutes. Always follow the instructions provided
with your specific BioKap hair dye product. We allow 5 minutes for application
then the clock can be started for 10 minute development time. If the
application takes longer than 5 minutes, you can reduce the leave on time
accordingly. For example, if it is actually takes you 10 minutes to apply the
colour, you can reduce the development time to 5 minutes.

It is generally recommended to wait 5–6 weeks before repeating
the application. The exact time may vary depending on how quickly your hair
grows.

A sensitivity test should be performed 48 hours before every application. Previous treatments such as henna or highlights may affect the final colour result.  To switch from Henna to BioKap we recommend that you make sure that all Henna has completed been washed out from hair before applying BioKap.  Wait at least 4 weeks from the last Henna application, and wash hair very often during this month. Then, before applying BioKap to hair, do a strand test on a hidden lock, to check that the final colour result is the desired one.

Yes BioKap shades can be mixed to get the exact shade required.

During pregnancy, skin may become more sensitive, which can increase the risk of sensitisation or an allergic reaction. We recommend following your gynaecologist's advice before using hair dye. BioKap does not recommend using hair dyes during the first three months of pregnancy. BioKap Spray is safe to use during pregnancy as it covers only the hair’s surface and does not penetrate the hair’s structure

Rinse your eyes immediately with plenty of water.

Hair dye stains usually disappear after a few washes. To help prevent
staining, apply the protective cream supplied with the product, or another
moisturising cream, around your hairline and forehead before applying the dye.

Choose a shade based on your natural hair colour and the result you want
to achieve. If you are unsure about the final colour, perform a strand test
before applying the hair dye to your entire hair.

Mix a small amount of BioKap Nutricolor Colouring Cream with an equal
amount of Nutrifix Colour Revealer. Apply a small amount behind the ear or in
the crook of the elbow and leave it for 48 hours. If itching, redness, swelling
or other skin reactions occur, do not use the product and consult a
dermatologist. If the product is unsuitable for you please contact our customer
service team  at info@mahinaturals.com

BioKap dyes are free from PPD , ammonial and resorcinol which are the
main irritants in hair dyes. The formula is also only on the skin for 10
minutes which makes it better tolerated. A sensitivity test must be performed
48 hours before every application. Do not use hair colouring products if you
have a sensitive, irritated or damaged scalp, or if you have previously
experienced a reaction to hair dyes or temporary black henna tattoos.

Yes, the Hair dye kit can be split and used in two occasions as
some people with short hair or thin hair might find the whole kit too much and it can be wasteful.

For the 1st half being used, it is advised to pour
the content of the kit in a non- metallic little ramequin or plastic bowl which
is being used right away.

The remaining portion of the hair dye should not be mixed and can be used up to 4 weeks later.

The rest of the content can be stored at room temperature but no
need to put it in the fridge

Caution: Do NOT store hair dye once the chemicals have been combined or
mixed because it can expand and burst.

 C12-13 lactic acid esters are included in the rapid dye at an increased dosage. These esters create a smart enzyme activator which means colour can bind to the hair keratin faster. As the dye develops faster, the contact time with the scalp is reduced making it more gentle on skin and perfectly tolerated.

Make sure your hair does not have any products on it that could potentially act as a barrier to prevent the colour penetrating the hair, such as styling products or hair treatment creams and oils. Some mass market shampoos and conditioners contain silicone that adds an artificial shine to the
hair, this also may prevent an effective application of the BioKap Rapid Dye.

BioKap hair dyes are gluten free and suitable for coeliacs.

The Rapid hair dyes contain 6% hydrogen peroxide in the colour developer, while the lightening cream contains 11%.
