Partition your hair in different segments. Apply this paste to each segment carefully. Start from the root and apply the paste to the remaining length of the hair. Ensure that the paste is applied evenly throughout. Tie your hair up and put on a shower cap. Leave it for around 2 hours or longer if you want a deep colour. Wash it off with cold water.
