Real hair dye products that can not only change the image, but also provide care for the strands.

Basma is considered one of these means. Thanks to the rational use of this real dye, you can get any shade from light brown to black without harming your hair.

Composition and benefits

Basma is a natural vegetable hair dye, it is a powder of a grayish-green hue. It is made from the leaves of the indigo plant, popular in tropical climates.

With the help of dye, you can get dark hair shades from blond to black. Basically, this substance is used simultaneously with henna.

Basma consists of active substances, natural resins and vitamins that activate hair growth. Thanks to tannins, irritations are removed, scalp receives additional nutrition, heals.

Basma perfectly colors without destroying the structure and natural pigment of the hair. In addition, it helps to strengthen the curls, making them attractive and shiny, improves the blood supply to the head. This natural dye fights dandruff perfectly.

After coating with basma paint, the strands grow faster, get a healthy look, volume and comb better. In addition, Basma is completely hypoallergenic.

Shades

Basma is able to dye hair in various shades, the main thing is to correctly execute the exposure time and proportions when combined with henna. The final shade is also determined by the length, thickness and original hair color.

To get a light brown, slightly noticeable shade, basma and henna should be mixed in equal proportions and kept on the hair for 30 minutes.

For a light chestnut shade, the exposure time must be increased to 1 hour.

Chocolate color can be obtained by mixing basma and henna in a ratio of 1 to 3, therefore, and increasing the exposure time to 1.5 hours.

You can transform into a burning brunette in 1 hour by mixing 2 parts of henna with 1 part of basma.

Flawless black color is not easy to get. To do this, first of all, for an hour it is necessary to dye your hair with henna, and then for several hours with basma. In a similar way, you can get rid of gray hair.

In the case of hair dyeing with basma without henna, it cannot be ruled out that a color with a green visor can be obtained.

Paint coating technique

1. In order not to get dirty with pigment, it is better to wear an apron or old clothes.
2. Pour the contents of the package into a plastic or porcelain container. For short hair, in principle, one package is enough, for owners of long hair, two or three are useful.
3. Dissolve natural dye in hot water. And the hotter the water, the faster the basma will dissolve.
4. Mix the paint mixture very well so that there are no lumps in it. It must have a thick consistency.
5. Apply the dye to pre-washed and perfectly combed hair. This must be done before the basma has completely cooled down.
6. Application is better to start from the back of the head, slowly moving to the crown and temples, bangs to paint the last. Basma is applied from the roots, distributing the composition along the entire length.
7. After graduating from the technology, the hair should be wrapped in polymer ethylene and wrapped in a terry towel.
8. To obtain a rich color, the dye can be kept on the hair for more than 1 hour.
9. Basma is washed off with warm water. Professionals do not advise using shampoo for the first couple of days to give the paint a chance to gain a foothold.

Basma-dyed hair should not be subjected to chemical procedures, and even dyed with industrial dyes, because in the final result you can get both bright orange and shades of green hair. In order not to seriously harm your hair, you should wait until the basma is completely washed out.

Hi all. For a long time I wanted to dye my hair black, but not immediately, but gradually, in order to see intermediate colors, and not want black, and enjoy every shade. I dedicate today's post to staining with basma - it is with it that you can paint for several months and become darker and darker each time.
_________________________
Let's figure out what is basma?

Basma- these are crushed leaves of indigo, which have a greenish-gray color. Basma is a natural vegetable paint - an environmentally friendly product containing biologically active substances and vitamins.

Basma is an ideal natural remedy for dyeing hair in dark colors. Can be used in combination with henna. Basma has wonderful cosmetic properties: it stimulates hair growth and gives it a natural shine, improves hair structure and strengthens roots, eliminates dandruff. Basma is especially recommended for hypersensitivity to the chemical components of conventional hair dyes.

It is intended for dyeing hair in darker tones, also for coloring gray hair in colors ranging from light chestnut to black. The color tone depends on the structure, thickness, original hair color and contact time. After applying henna and basma, hair acquires shine, elasticity, and is easy to comb.

What is worth remembering about Basma:

• It is extremely difficult to get it out. Only after the first 2-3 dyeings, it is still possible to somehow lighten the hair, but without resorting to chemical agents, the result will be unpredictable. If you paint with basma for a long time, but you are tired of the black color, then here you just cut or splice your hair, along the way ceasing to paint with basma. Oils and other "tested" folk remedies will help you a little more than nothing. Keep in mind.
• Basma should be applied to hair previously dyed with henna, especially if it is blonde hair. Henna produces coppery, reddish hues that subsequently block out unwanted basman greens.
• Basma is desirable to brew with boiling water - so it gives off more pigment. I won’t talk about protecting clothes, skin from staining, this is by default.

Painted according to the rule:

First I paint the roots with henna. Why only roots? They are branches, and the length has long been clogged with henna pigment. I put it on, it looked like an hour, I washed it off. I applied basma to clean, damp hair (for the entire length). Looked like 3 hours with a cast-iron head, washed off

But not only did the color not suit me, it took on weakly, it was also washed off for three weeks, in general, it did not fix. Then I decided to add to my one spoon of henna and basma so that the pigment gradually accumulates at least in the root zone.
This gave its results, the hair became darker

For the second and subsequent stains, I bought. Outwardly, I didn’t like it: although the grinding was fine, there were some sawdust, threads, logs in the mixture.

The second time I dyed my hair was June 1st. In principle, again, nothing special: the color did not stick, but was washed off much less. I made a mistake this time: right after I washed off the basma, I washed my hair with shampoo - I did this because the coloring mixture, in addition to basma, contained amla oil (I wanted to kill two birds with one stone - and dye my hair and speed up hair growth)

I did not endure until July 1 and dyed my hair for the third time on the 26th (the day before I dyed the roots with henna). I decided not to make any more mistakes and endure a couple of days without washing.
So, my coloring mixture consists of Iranian basma, shikakaya and amla oil.

Basma colors and thickens hair shikakai conditions them, amla oil promotes hair growth

I took 5 tablespoons of basma and 1 tablespoon of shikakai




the photo perfectly conveys the powdery grinding of shikakaya and the small, “sawdust” scattering of basma.

I added warm, almost hot water to my mixture, stir with a coloring brush until a homogeneous substance is obtained, adding more water along the way, if not enough.

And leave for 15-30 minutes to infuse. If the basma is fresh, of high quality, then an ink film should appear on my mixture. Apparently, in vain I scolded my basma for poor quality

You can mix the basma and leave it to infuse again, and it will again be covered with a film


Before applying, I divided my hair into 4 parts.

I walked with a brush along the partings formed

Unfortunately, it was not possible to photograph the whole process due to my curvature.

After a couple of hours, I wash off the basma. Herbs (any) dry my hair, so after any herbal procedure, be it basma, henna or an Ayurvedic mask, I make a mask without fail. It so happened that a strong moisturizing mask (in this case CocoChoco Intensive) I recently purchased, before that I used Estelle and Numero (both did not provide proper hydration, and this is not what they are intended for).
This time I decided to stick to the rule of not washing my hair for 3 days after dyeing. Luckily, I didn't have to leave the house. After three unwashed days:

In the photo, unfortunately, it is not very noticeable, but in life the color darkened a little, it is washed off less.
root zone


_____________________________
As the good old song says: “Our hearts demand change, our eyes demand change ..” - I don’t want black anymore, but I’m fine with the so-called cold dark chestnut



It turns out such a kind of ombre: the roots are dark, and the length is much lighter - chestnut with redness with a smooth transition.
Now I paint every two weeks to maintain color and try to paint over the length. Very good results are obtained when I wash my hair the day before SHGO from Angel Professional-this shampoo not only thoroughly rinses off all excess from the hair, but also does it very carefully, without squeaking and without tangling the hair. And I dye my hair the next evening before going to bed. As the practice of the mother of a one-year-old child showed, I don’t really sleep at night, so “before going to bed” is a big word. I keep Basma for about 6-8 hours, that is, at 4-6 in the morning I go to wash it off if my daughter is sleeping
The results are gorgeous, but again, only on the root zone (upper 15cm).

By the way, when I ran out of the first bag, and I was impatient to paint again, I bought the second one. And the content turned out to be very fresh, of high quality (although I stumble upon the same logs) ! The ink film formed instantly (and it dawned on me that it is better to immediately apply basma on the head and henna first, for the entire length)
Also now I use pure basma without adding additional ingredients in the form of oils and powders. Henna is also in its pure form, which is applied 15 minutes after kneading (also along partings). This time I decided to dye the entire length (there is nothing to lose - I decided to get a haircut in September - my “iron” is sometimes an empty phrase, my conscience tells me. In general: I’ll look at the condition of my hair three days after dyeing. If a mask or ampoule saves hair from dryness and other charms of sick hair, then I will continue to grow it, if after my dances with the Great Shaman Kaaral "oh Maraes" my hair still remains a dry broom, then I will cut off 15 cm. For reliability, I will even make a bet for a thousand rubles)
So ... send to paint


Yes, a little clarification. Remember, I wrote a post about the ampoule on August 8? So vooot, the actions voiced in the post were made almost a week before the publication. Numbers 2-4 August. So that the hair does not fall off, run to paint, I said! (and then I will write a disgustingly snotty post about a haircut, ruined hair and about what women do ... unreasonable creatures)

So… Henna.

Next, we proceed to staining with henna. I will keep it for 1 hour. Go!

1. I do a straight cut
2. I paint over it
3. With a brush I cut the parting on the right, retreating 1.5-2 cm from the central parting
4. I put henna on the second parting
5. I show in detail the manipulation of the brush tip with parting
6. I show behind the ear parting
7. I paint over it
8. I pull back the strands of hair at the back of the head, where I will paint over. pay attention, I always paint without a mirror (it is quite possible that I don’t paint over there, but I’m very uncomfortable with two mirrors - it’s just that my eyes start to hurt from a sideways look)
9. when I have hennaed the entire right side, I flip the hair over to the dyed right side to start doing the same on the left side.

We do the same with the left side.

After an hour, I wash off the henna, wrap my hair in a towel and go to cook basma:

1. I put 4-5 tablespoons of basma in a plastic container
2. I fill it with water. I won’t say exactly how many ml, because I do it by eye, I know approximately how much should be poured
3. Mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps or lumps
4. Immediately, without insisting, we go to apply basma

I remove the towel and, just like I applied henna, I apply basma.

I leave the basma for the night, and after 8 hours I go to wash it off.

1. Remember, I said that basma does not wash off the fabric? So it also leaves terrible blue stains on everything it absorbs.
2. The lump of hair turned black, but on the eve it was grass-colored

Freshly washed hair without shampoo and conditioner. For the length, I applied the remains of the LAKME ampoule

The hair softened, I can’t say anything about moisturizing. The color is - as I like - dark chestnut all over, although what kind of chestnut? It reminds me of the same black tulip that I wrote about. Soft to the touch, but the visual is too far from ideal for it to remain uncut.




_________________________________
I summarize some of my essay on the topic “How I spent the summer” of a post about the use of henna and basma:
Never try to paint for medicinal purposes dyed and brightened hair with herbs, be it henna, basma, and other Ayurvedic herbs. Herbs dry up already injured, humiliated and insulted hair. In my own example, I was convinced and showed you that herbs have an amazing effect on healthy hair, giving mirror smoothness and shine, and on my lower 15 cm of length, which every user of this wonderful site knows thanks to my whining, herbs have a detrimental effect: I haven’t touched for a long time tips with henna and basma, so as not to harm, but instead I had to go multi-colored (I don’t like ombre and balayage). And having dyed my whole hair, I completely ruined my ends: from time to time I found traces of cross-section and brittleness, but this is not evident even now. But the chewed, floating hair structure, naughty ends ... Remember the hair of your old baby doll, which you often washed as a child, and her hair was tangled - these are the tips now.

Of course, I will try in a couple of days, when the staining with basma is completed, to take emergency measures, but to be honest, I no longer believe in them.

As my history teacher said, I started for health, finished for peace, but I'm not upset, and I don't advise you. Thank you all for your attention.
________________

In addition to henna in the East, there is another favorite paint - basma. Henna and basma are the most common natural dyes.

Their use at home is not difficult, and the beneficial effect on the hair is great.

Recipes with henna are suitable for giving red hair shades. Basma in combination with henna is used to dye hair in darker tones - light chestnut to black, also fits for coloring gray hair.

Basma is used only with henna or coffee, as Basma alone dyes hair green-blue. Basma contains a blue dye - indigo, and if you add henna to it, the presence of a red component will prevent the appearance of a green tint. On the other hand, the blue component of basma, as it were, neutralizes the rich red color of henna, making the staining result more calm.

Henna is very useful as it contains many essential oils and tannins. It strengthens and revitalizes hair, treats hair roots affected by chemical dyes or improper care, protects against harmful effects sun, stops hair loss, helps eliminate dandruff. It is interesting that henna does not penetrate into the hair structure during dyeing, but stains them for a long time, almost like paint. It contains substances that tighten the outer scaly layer of the hair and give a noticeable shine.

Basma is made from the leaves of indigo. Just like henna, basma is an environmentally friendly product and has wonderful cosmetic properties: it stimulates hair growth and gives it a natural shine, improves hair structure and strengthens roots.

Together, henna and basma for hair also carry a whole range of useful properties. Almost every woman notices that after dyeing her hair becomes shiny and strong. In addition, thanks to these cosmetics, dandruff disappears, and the hair itself stops falling out and begins to grow faster.

You can dye your hair with these two dyes two ways: sequentially one after the other or after mixing both dyes. The results will be approximately the same, but it is better to use henna and basma in sequence (be sure to use henna first, then basma). This method is the most convenient, because if after henna an undesirable hair color is obtained, it will be easy to correct it during the subsequent coloring with basma. This will allow you to control the staining process.

Henna shades with basma

The process of staining with henna and basma is the same as with chemical dyes. The only exception is that before coloring it is necessary to wash your hair and, without drying your head, proceed to apply paint to your hair.

Basma is applied to clean, damp hair with henna or after henna staining.

By changing the ratio of henna and basma, the duration of their exposure, you can get a very different hair color: light to black. It is important that after coloring the hair has a natural look.

Depending on the length of the hair, take from 25 to 100 grams of dry henna and basma powder. The ratio between them varies depending on the desired tone and color intensity.

* Black color obtained by mixing 1 part of henna and 3 parts of basma.
* Light brown shade. Mix 1 part henna and 1 part basma. Keep 30 minutes.
* Light blond shade hair will be given a mixture of 1 part of henna and 3 parts of basma, applied for 1 hour.
* chestnut color obtained by mixing henna and basma in equal proportions.
*Dark chestnut color. Mix henna and basma in a ratio of 1 to 3. You need to keep it for 1.5 hours.
* Light chestnut shade. Mix 1 part henna and 1 part basma. Keep 1 hour.
* Bronze tint. Mix 2 parts of henna with 1 part of basma. Keep 1 hour.

Henna and basma powder is carefully rubbed in a glass bowl with a wooden spoon with hot water, or with a hot infusion of strong natural coffee, or with warmed red wine, until the gruel is thick. Flaxseed decoction, glycerin or shampoo can also be added to the henna solution. These are binding components that help to apply the dye to the hair more evenly.

Separate staining with henna and basma

Hair coloring with henna and basma is separately used mainly to obtain black color (first henna, then basma).

* Black color. Henna is applied to the hair first. They keep an hour. Then rinse off and dry your hair.
After that, a slurry of basma is applied. Hold:

• 15-20 minutes for blond hair,
• 1-1.5 hours for chestnut
• 2-3 hours for blacks.

Henna or basma is applied either by dividing the hair into partings, or simply over the hair, distributing it evenly from the roots to the ends. The paint is vigorously distributed on the hair, then combed out first with a rare, then with a frequent comb, then the pigments will lie more evenly.

Basma gruel, like henna, is prepared immediately before use. To prepare it, the powder is also thoroughly ground, poured with hot water and mixed well. Then the basma solution is brought to a boil over low heat with continuous stirring. As soon as the solution begins to boil, it is removed from the heat. A properly prepared basma solution has the consistency of liquid sour cream.
Basma slurry thickens quickly, so it needs to be made more liquid than henna solution. In the process of work, a little hot water should be added to the basma gruel. We prepare enough coloring solution to be enough to process the entire head. The thicker and longer hair the more solution is required.

We apply the prepared gruel of basma to the hair like henna. Just don't wrap your head. This is only necessary when painting black. In this case, basma has to be kept on the hair for quite some time.

We wash off the basma with warm water without soap. You can wash your hair with soap only the next day. Only in the case when the hair color turned out to be darker than required, immediately wash the hair with soap.
Excessive darkening you can try to remove the juice of a lemon, a solution of citric acid or vinegar. But this will not give significant lightening.
Keep in mind that it is very difficult to remove basma from hair, so it is better to underdo it than overdo it.

With insufficient henna treatment of hair, overexposure of basma on the head can cause a greenish tint. To eliminate this defect, the hair should be washed with soap and water and applied with henna for 10-15 minutes. After this operation, the hair will become a tone darker.

Hair coloring with a mixture of henna and basma

With simultaneous coloring, the required amount of henna and basma (50 - 200 grams in total, depending on the length of the hair) is poured into a bowl, poured with hot water and stirred until a homogeneous slurry is formed, similar in consistency to thick sour cream. To obtain the desired shade of hair, a certain ratio of henna and basma is taken (see above). The darker the shade you want, the more basma should be in your hair color mixture.

If you want to get a trendy shade "black Tulip", then in a mixture of basma and henna (2: 1), heated in a water bath, add 3 - 4 teaspoons of freshly squeezed beetroot juice. And if you add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, your hair will become much softer and silkier.

The prepared composition is applied along the partings to washed and slightly towel-dried hair. Along the hairline, the skin is lubricated with petroleum jelly. If this is not done, then for some time after the procedure, your forehead will be “adorned” with a bright yellow stripe.

Creamy paint should be applied to dry or damp clean hair and it is best to start from the back of the head. The back of the head has the lowest temperature, so the hair takes longer to color there. Then apply paint on the parietal and temporal parts of the head, and then along the entire length.
To enhance the effect, put a plastic cap on your head and wrap it with a terry towel.
Hold paint:

• from 10 - 40 minutes (to obtain a light tone)
• up to 1 - 3 hours (to obtain a dark saturated tone)
• areas of the greatest accumulation of gray hair are dyed 2-3 times
• the rest of the gruel is diluted by 1/3 - 1/4 with hot water and the paint is applied to the ends of the hair.

After dyeing, the hair is rinsed with warm water. When coloring hair with basma undesirable to wash hair with shampoo or other alkaline product at least three days after painting.

Rinsing with acidified water can be done only after a day.

Please remember: if you are dyeing for the first time, then before dyeing all your hair, try dyeing one small strand first.

After dyeing hair with henna with basma it is not advisable to dye your hair with chemical dyes and subject them to chemical procedures (curling or straightening).

How to dye gray hair with henna and basma

With age, the content of the coloring pigment - melanin - decreases in the hair, because of this, the hair begins to turn gray. Gray hair can be hidden with various dyes. To achieve a beneficial result for the hair, you can use vegetable dyes, which will also heal the hair and fill it with nutrients, which means it will have a healing effect on the hair and scalp.

Henna has the ability to perfectly paint over gray hair. For coloring gray hair, the most advantageous are dark shades: brown and black.

If you want to get a color lighter than natural, then the hair must first be lightened by one or two tones with hydrogen peroxide.

After dyeing, the hair looks silky and shiny for a long time. It is enough to tint the growing roots and periodically refresh the color along the entire length.

100g each for short hair

200g each for neck length hair.

300g each for shoulder length hair.

500g each for waist length hair.

Don't skimp on the mix :O).

The result of hair coloring with henna and basma is determined by the following factors:

● Natural hair color to be dyed;
● Hair structure: their thickness, degree of dryness and other individual characteristics. Thin, soft and dry hair is dyed much easier than thick and coarse. Hair bleached with hydrogen peroxide, permed hair is much faster;
● The temperature of the water in which the gruel of henna and basma is prepared, and the temperature of the gruel when applied to the hair. The colder the dye, the slower it stains;
● The duration of exposure to hair dye. The longer the mixture is on the hair, the stronger they stain;
● Proportions in which henna and basma powders are mixed.

Cons of dyeing hair with henna and basma

• On chemically dyed hair, henna and basma behave unpredictably ... Therefore, having dyed your hair with henna and basma, you will no longer be able to use purchased paints with chemical dyes in the composition until the hair grows back
• Hair dyed with henna and basma cannot be subjected to any hairdressing tricks associated with the use of chemicals: curling, laminating, highlighting, toning - this is now not for you.
• If you see a greenish tint, don't panic. It will disappear in a day or two when the basma oxidizes. After 2 days your hair will be completely black.
• Coloring with henna and basma usually lasts for several months, but it can gradually acquire a red or blue-violet hue, therefore, in order to maintain the desired color, it is necessary to tint the hair in a timely manner.

According to persianshop.com.ua, lidernews.com

To update the image of a woman, coloring is often performed. But chemical dyes damage the hair, worsening the appearance. Therefore, natural ingredients are considered to be in demand. Basma hair coloring is popular. Reviews testify to the effectiveness of this tool. This is vegetable black dye. But in order for the curls not to turn green, you additionally need to use henna. Details of the use of components are presented in the article.

What it is?

Basma is a natural paint created from the powder of dry leaves of the indigo tree. Naturalness is considered an advantage, due to which the natural acid balance of the scalp is not disturbed. The use of dye is safe, and the result of the procedure can please even lovers of professional paint. According to reviews, basma goes well with other natural dyes, giving beautiful shades.

Beneficial features

According to reviews, basma is much better than chemical dyes, because it does not damage the hair structure. It is enough to use effective recipes to get the right shade. Basma, in comparison with artificial dyes, has the following advantages:

1. It contains vitamin C, which strengthens and nourishes the strands. With it, the hair will have a healthy shine.
2. The natural substance has a nourishing effect, accelerates hair growth.

The use of natural dye strengthens the roots, eliminates dandruff. The coloring of gray hair with basma is favorable. Reviews indicate that after the procedure, the curls become elastic and soft. This will result in a natural color with an attractive sheen. The use of henna and basma will eliminate the problem of curls falling out. Dry and split strands have a healthy look.

Application features

Not everyone knows how to get the right color. To do this, you need to know the rules of hair dyeing. A positive effect depends on the implementation of simple tips. Vegetable paint is a landscaping agent. In order not to get a blue or green color, painting with henna and basma must be done in combination. It should be remembered that if a vegetable dye has already been used, staining with basma will give an unpredictable result.

If the hair is dry, care must be taken. The coloring of gray curls with henna and basma should be done with olive oil (1 spoon). Otherwise, the strands will be overdried, become brittle, lose their color brightness. After dyeing, the hair should not be washed for 2-3 days. This is necessary to consolidate the result and reveal the shade. Vegetable dye has a drying effect, so you should not wash your hair every day. It is advisable to first paint one strand, and if you like the result, you can proceed to full coloring.

How it is done Reviews confirm that you first need to decide on a shade. The proportion of added substances and the duration of the procedure will depend on this. To get a light shade, staining should be done for half an hour. And to acquire black color, the duration of the procedure is 1.5-2 hours.

To obtain a coloring composition, you need to use porcelain dishes. It is undesirable to use metal utensils, they are difficult to wash. Gloves must be worn as the dyes etch into the skin and are difficult to wash off. The procedure will require a cream. It is applied to areas of the skin to protect against dyes. The paint is applied with a brush in layers. On top put on a bag or cap made of polyethylene.

Water should not be higher than 80 degrees, otherwise it will adversely affect the dye. After putting on the cap, it should be fixed with a towel. If after the procedure the result is not pleasing, it can be repeated after 14-21 days. To get a light shade, rinsing with water and lemon juice is necessary.

What affects coloration?

As the reviews show, hair coloring with henna and basma will have a positive effect if the proportions are used correctly. The result also depends on:

1. Water temperature to create a mixture. If it is cold, then the process will be long.
2. Structures of curls. Thin, dry, bleached curls are easier to stain.
3. The duration of the procedure. The longer the staining, the brighter the shade.
4. ratios of natural ingredients.

The brightness of the color is reduced with masks based on olive oil. It is necessary to apply them on dirty, dry curls for 30 minutes, and then rinse with shampoo. To get the desired result, you need to perform repeated procedures.

To eliminate the red tone after henna, you need to stain with black powder. To maintain color saturation in 1.5 liters of boiling water, add 50 g of basma. The product is filtered and cooled. You can perform rinsing.

Options for combining components

According to reviews, henna and basma can be used separately and together. These 2 methods give different results. With separate staining, henna is used first, and then black vegetable paint. All components are prepared before the procedure. But the consistency of the mixture of red composition should be thicker. After the procedure, the curls should be washed with warm water. The shade depends on the duration of the coloring:

1. Blonde - 20 minutes.
2. Chestnut - 60-90.
3. Black - 2-3 hours.
