Logwood
Suitable to obtain multiple shades: from copper color to brick red up to an intense violet. The Logwood tree takes its name from the Campeche region in Mexico where it is widespread. A purplish pigment is extracted from its bark, which was used in the past to dye paper and fabrics. It is always recommended to use it in combination with neutral or dyeing powders to obtain visible color results and a good batter.
The use of pure Campeggio Wood powder is not recommended because it does not allow for very intense color results. Added to Lawsonia powder (Red Henna No. 2 or No. 3), it is useful for attenuating bright orange highlights, while combined with Cinnamon Brown it gives warm and luminous shades. Conversely, to exploit its cool and violet nature, it is recommended to prepare the Campeggio Wood paste separately with the addition of baking soda (2 tablespoons per 100 g of powder). Subsequently, it can be mixed, before application, with the paste prepared with other powders (e.g. Cherry Red, Chocolate Brown or Mahogany Purple).
