100 grams EarthDye Dark Brown Hair Dye
No chemicals mean this color will not lighten your current hair color.
MIGHTY OAK DARK BROWN
Mighty Oak Dark Brown contains very little Henna, so it has less red than medium or light brown. This color will turn gray/white/silver/blonde hair into a glistening dark brown shade. Any darker strands of hair will stay the same shade since our product will not lighten it. 100 grams of powder is enough to do mid-back length hair in one application. The length of your hair will stay this color, and only the new hair growth will need to be touched up as it comes in. Typically, hair grows about 1/ 4 inch a month.
Hair application:
Wash hair twice with clarifying shampoo, without conditioner, and towel dry before application. Damp hair is good; dry hair is okay. Don’t forget to wear gloves, and cover the floors and clothes!
- Mix the powder with enough warm tap water (about 1 ¼ cup to 1 ½ cup per 100 grams) until you achieve a pudding-like consistency.
- Apply immediately to hair, starting from the back to the front in layers, pressing down the paste as you go along. If using a shower cap afterward, make sure to create holes in the cap for air.
- Leave in hair for 45-60 minutes, but no longer than 1.5 hours, and rinse until the water runs clear. If you have thick or curly hair, you can use a cream conditioner to help rinse. Do not shampoo less than 18 hours afterward, or wait more than 48 hours; 24 hours is ideal.
Beard application
Not following these instructions will result in poor results. Earthdye is permanent and easy to apply.
- Clean facial hair/sideburns gently with shampoo, using a toothbrush or beard brush twice. Do not scrub hard, as this can irritate the skin. Not using a brush will not remove facial oil. Use a brush!
- Mix enough tap water (do not use distilled or bottled water) to achieve a thick pudding consistency. Only mix what you need and store the remaining powder in a Ziplock bag in a cool, dry place.
- Using a spoon or application brush, apply evenly to facial hair until completely covered. Be sure to cover all hairs. If tips of hair stick out, they will not be colored, leaving a peppered effect. Leave on for 35-45 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour, and rinse. You can shampoo 12-24 hours later, but no longer than 48 hours.
Tips you should know!
Gray or white hair may turn red/green for the first 12 hours, darkening overnight. Dye hair in the early evening.
The dye will not permanently stain the face or hairline. If dye is present on the face, it will disappear within several hours.
Oil treatments can prevent browns and reds from working. If doing oil treatments, wash hair three times before application.
Our dye works on all races, men, and women.

The color looks good. I have mostly grey hair and it still covers well!
Easy to use, and no chemicals is a big win. Since my hair isn't long this last me a few times of coloring. Glad I found this product!
I cannot use traditional beard dyes since I get a bad rash, but earthdye is safe for me. I am not allergic and the color looks great. I like the Soft Black and Might Oak, even mixed, gives me a very natural look. My beard and mustache looks really great. My new doctor said I looked amazingly younger close to his age, that would be 20 years younger. I told him "Earthdye" It is very affordable and you get a lot of dyes out of one packed.
The dark brown does not do a very good job of covering the gray. I had used a lighter color previously and it covered the gray but left my hair an orangeish copper color. Not what I wanted.
Update: I made the review when my hair was wet. The next day I noticed that it did cover the gray somewhat. Not perfectly but the company reached out to me and gave me some suggestions to make the color take. I will try those next time I dye .
Hi Becky,
Im sorry to hear about the experience. I wish you had reached out first to me. It sounds like there is something wrong with your routine that causing indigo not to stick. It explains why the use of medium brown netted you orange (henna from the medium brown mix stuck but the indigo didnt) and the dark brown didn't leave much of anything (its majority indigo). Often times this has to do with poor prep. Not using specifically a clarifying shampoo or using shampoos with oils in them, or not using enough shampoo to clear the oils in the hair can create these results. I am happy to help you reach satisfactory results, if youre willing. You can email me at info@earthdye.com.
I've tried everything and this product is the on ly one that doesn't make my face itchy. and on top of that it really works. I would say experiment with the amount of time its on your beard, to see how dark etc you want it. Affordable and works...
Its so hard to apply and messy. And did not cover up my gray. I should have let it stay for two hours ibstead of what they said on the manual 20 to 30 minutes only. But its really wrong didn’t cover my gray. My hair stay the same. What a mess
Hi Nora,
I have no clue where you saw that 20-30 minutes is recommended but our website, and your packet of hair dye both says 60 minutes at least is recommended for dark brown. We would never tell anyone to do that, and 20 minutes is exactly why your hair didnt take the dye. None the less, Im sorry your experience was no good, and im happy to help you achieve the results you want. Please reach out to us and I will walk you through it to ensure you get good results! - Nic
My go to color. Excellent gray coverage. Chemical based colors damaged my hair for years. Since I started using Earth Dye, my hair is strong and healthy again.
Love to hear it! Thanks Luara!

I like that henna doesn't damage the hair and still get good results
Great hair dye. Covers gray hair
I played around with several colors. Soft Black, Henna, Dark Brown and Indigo. Take your time and be patient with all this. My first time with this it took two applications to achieve my desired results. Now that rarely happens. For me with all the experimentations the Indigo mixed with Dark Brown together at the same time is my go to for a quick natural black. I will never use any chemical dyes. No Just For Men; Earth Dye is the only way to go.
This last batch of dark brown henna I received seems very good -- rich and dark. But, the previous batch of 3 dark brown henna contained 1 good pouch, and two that were not good. The henna powder in those two looked med brown (as opposed to dark green) in color, and resulted in a light, faded color that didn't last long. When I contacted the company, however, they were super helpful and responsive. They sent out two pouches immediately to replace the two that weren't good. I was very glad to see that the pouches they sent were of very good quality. I am a long-time customer and am pleased with their commitment to quality and their customers.
Love this hair dye, it's the best I've used! The ingredients are natural and not causing any problems for me.
Mighty Oak Dark Brown is what I have been using for over a year now. I switched from chemical dyes and was introduced by a friend who recommended this brand. The process is a little messy and took a little getting used to, but the outcome is beautiful.
I use this mixed with brown and occasionally mahogany I've been using this brand for years and love it! I actually ran out and will never do that again! So much better than chemical dyes. You wont be disappointed!
It took a few attempts because I used shampoo with coconut oils in it. Customer support is responsive and helpful. I've been a customer for many years.
I just started using natural dye and I was nervous about it. The staff couldn't have been more supportive in answering my questions. Wonderful product and a reputable company! Thank you!
Awesome results and no chemicals needed. Very easy to use, unlike some other henna brands I??ve experienced.
Have been using for years and looks natural and never creates any irritation to my skin. Recommend.
I have gone the route of JFM, with horrible side effects. After trying a few 'natural' products I came upon this product. Long story short for the past couple of years this is my go to. Easy to apply, harmless and it works!
I??ve used the same product for over 10 years now. I import to the UK as I can??t find a product as good in the UK
Thank you, Ed. Wow 10 years, this is awesome to hear. Thanks to customers like you we have managed to be in business now for over 18 years. It seems like yesterday.
I have been dying my hair 10 years and this is by far the best product. I have never had a reaction like with other brands, and it covers my grays perfectly.
I??ve been using this henna for??3 years and it??s by far the best I??ve used! I mix natural dark brown with indigo and it gives me the dark brown that I love.
Your positive feedback means a lot! We??re thrilled you found our dye superb and gentle. Enjoy your stunning hair!
I?ve been using EarthDye since March and love it! I have extremely fine, delicate hair, so natural ingredients are a must.
My hair is dark brown as is, so I mainly use the dye to cover some greys, but my hair lengths also become very light and brassy in the summer sun. At first I just tried the Dark Brown alone and got great grey coverage, but my hair remained basically the same shade of lighter brown. I then tried a 50 50 mix with Indigo, and most recently 1 3 Dark Brown with 2 3 Indigo, and got this lovely rich shade. I was nervous at first to use so much indigo, given the warning that it can turn hair black, but it seems that my hair can easily withstand quite a lot of it.
I have about 75% gray hair and have been doing a two-step process (henna then indigo) to get my natural dark brown color. I was hoping to avoid the two-step process by using this dark brown mix, but when I applied it directly to my gray roots (no henna first), they came out blue. This color does looks amazing if apply it over henna. I think I must have super resistant gray!
For a nice dark brown, I highly recommend using this Henna product. It covers nicely over the grey, and makes a rich dark brown. I've been using this product for years and it's never failed me.
We??re thrilled our natural dye made you happy! Thank you for choosing a chemical-free option and loving the results, we are moving the site to www.earthdye.com
