    Aussie Family behind the brand

    Founder Charmaine Burnett wanted to create a natural alternative to commercial hair colours after developing severe psoriasis while using them herself. Inspired by the book “Silent Spring”, she made this dream come true with Desert Shadow, a range of certified organic hair colours and hair treatments creating natural pigments for the hair by using raw plants.

    Since 2008, her range has bought forth a range of all-natural shades of colours that help in repairing dry and damaged hair and can last 4-6 weeks before fading. No more bad hair days!

    Desert Shadow is certified organic by NASAA (National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia) meaning the ingredients are farmed, harvested and processed ethically. The products come in 100% post-consumer recycled boxes making the whole product safe for you, your family and the planet you live in.

        I have extremely sensitive skin,

        "I have extremely sensitive skin, so trying new hair dye is always a risk for me. Most dyes cause itching, redness, or irritation, but Desert Shadow Organic Hair Dye has been completely different. I was honestly surprised by how gentle it felt. I had no burning, itching, or discomfort during or after application, which is rare for me. My scalp felt calm, and I didn’t experience any reaction at all."

        Only one i dont react to

        "I am so grateful for this product. I am extremely allergic to hair dye and even when i have had patch tests done for other organic dyes at hairdressers, i have still had an extreme reaction. Desert Shadow so far is the only one i can use with no problems. I was giving up hope that id have to go grey until i found this brand. I dont like the process and find it a big hassle. And i think the product smells horrible and reminds me of swamp water haha, but even with that, i love this product and have finally found dye i can use. I just wish there were more colour options."

        Absolutely Shocked!

        "I was so skeptical about this hair dye! I thought there was no possible way it would work. It works amazing and the more you use it, the better you'll get at the application. Just be warned, it can get quite messy!"

        Hair dye

        "Love this as an alternative to chemical hair dyes. I also use it as a treatment for my hair it feel nice and soft and its so shiny. It is a bit messy to apply and sometimes I wish someone else did it but worth it for the end result."
