Alkanet
Suitable to intensify the cold tones of red and purple and mahogany nuances. The root of this plant contains tannins, flavonoids, waxy substances and the alkannin: a red-purple coloring principle which has been used since ancient times to dye wool and fabric. It is always recommended to use it in combination with dyeing powders to obtain visible color results and a good batter.
The use of pure Alcanna powder is not recommended because it does not allow for very intense color results. Added to Lawsonia powder (Red Henna No. 2 or Red Henna No. 3), and even with the addition of Hibiscus or Madder, it becomes a corrector for obtaining cool red nuances; added to Walnut Hulls, it is useful for achieving warm blondes with sandy highlights.
