Golden Light Brown Henna Hair Color For All Kit | 100% All Natural Hair Dye & Beard Dye Powder Kit Organic, Herbal & Vegan Chemical & Cruelty Free Permanent Gray Coverage & Tinting

It works. I used the Golden Light Brown. My hair is a medium brown shade. If you have virgin hair free of dye it will add shine and boost color. However, if you have bleached or color-treated hair it will not work. It may turn your hair an unflattering shade of orange or red.

I have 3b, very dark brown curls that appear black in low lighting and darkest brown in the sun. I have always wanted to add more dimension to my hair color and in the past my lethal combination of coloring, over using heat products and all around mistreating my curls left me with painfully damaged hair. About 8 months ago, I took a huge risk, gathered all my hair into a ponytail and cut it off. I had about two inches of hair at the back and crown of my hair. And although it (and I) looked terrible, my spontaneous chop was the most foolish and beneficial thing I have ever done for my curls and since, (as I have painstakingly waited for the hair to grow out) I have been extremely careful about the products I use. I decided to try Henna Maiden in lively light brown based on its numerous great reviews and the fact that the henna is completely plant dye based, without synthetic additives. I mixed about half a packet (longer hair will definitely need a full to multiple packets) with hot water and apple cider vinegar, applied immediately, sculpted my hair into a mound on top of my head and threw on a shower cap to keep the heat in and the dye off the rest of the house. I left the henna on for about 8 hours (including sleeping in it overnight with a towel over my pillow) and am very happy with the results. The henna left a golden/red sheen to my hair that is vibrant in the sun and warm and subtle in indoor lighting. I chose to put light brown over my dark hair because I wanted to have as much impact as possible -- if you really want a color change in dark hair, this won't do it -- but if you are looking for some extra dimension and an added tone, this henna is perfect. The process was not damaging at all, but it did leave my hair feeling a bit dry the next day. I am not sure if this was due to the henna or the vinegar, but in the future I may add a few drops of argan or coconut oil to the treatment to keep my hair feeling hydrated.

I came across this product while searching for cruelty free hair coloring. My hair is probably fairly gray (I've been dyeing for years), a bit longer than shoulder length and fine and I needed only one package. The included instructions contained all the information I needed. They warn that since the product is plant-based it'll smell like plants (and it did), and they suggest adding essential oil if you desire a nicer fragrance. I didn't add anything and the plant odor was not as bad as the chemical odors of all the products I've used over the past 30 years. I need a little practice mixing it to the right consistency and applying it because I was kind of messy, but the color I got on my skin, towel and sink was easy to clean. I was afraid the color might come off onto my towels or pillow cases, but it didn't at all. Best of all my hair turned out very nice and pretty and soft. The color turned out a little darker and redder than I expected, but it looks really natural and I've gotten compliments including from my daughter who's not afraid to tell me what she really thinks!

I love that this product is chemical free. I am not sure if I like the results and I'm currently deep conditioning my hair with coconut oil to try to fade the color. I have naturally dark blond hair that has been chemically dyed for many years. First, I mixed the powder with salt and camomile tea. Second, applying the product is like smearing a fresh cow patty into your head - my little dog always loved to roll in cow patties so I know the smell LOL! Third, it was easy to apply. I wrapped it in the supplied shower cap over which I tied a scarf to keep it in place. I left it on for about 3 hours. Four, it was easy to rinse out in the shower. The instructions say not to shampoo for 48 hours afterward - just use conditioner after rinsing but the smell drove me to shampoo twice and then condition. I used sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. Five, my hair was really soft and shiny but much redder and very dark. Much darker and redder than the model. The next night, I put a combination of honey and apple cider vinegar on my hair, put on the cap and slept in it. It did give lighter highlights but the highlights faded within a day and my color seemed to get even darker. A deep reddish walnut color. Six, I am now conditioning with straight coconut oil which is supposed to help fade the color faster. I'd like the color if it were lighter so fading is what I am after. I will probably use this product again but will definitely need to go with a lighter shade or not leave it on so long update The coconut oil treatment really worked and the red tones were tamed. I can now say that I love the color and will definitely use it again.

This turned my hair red and I left it in for the full 2 hours. This was a logistical nightmare and the results are horrible. I have blond hair with a lot of white hair peppered in, so I was trying to cover the white. What I ended up with was dark red and light red hair. Trying to color over it has been impossible and short of cutting my hair off I have to just wait for it to grow out. The only color that you can rely on is black but keep in mind you have to keep it in your hair for at least 2 hours if not longer. I suggest that you just spend the extra money and get some good hair dye... there is good reason why this stuff if not more popular.

I got this as an alternative to growing out box dye also cut it short. My hair doesn’t hold color long. I’m just cursed with fine hair. My mom has fine hair too. Perms won’t hold more than a week even with all instructions followed to the T and after care. Point is my hair just doesn’t comply and it’s definitely the chemicals. I though my hair just doesn’t have enough surface to hold anything and with box dyes it just washes out and leaves hair stripped of my natural color My hair is shoulder length and I got 2 applications out of this package. . This shade is leaning heavy on the red side but warm tones suet me. The ends that haven’t grown out yet still are much lighter and held the color 5-6 weeks but my natural color held onto the color for more than 8 weeks. Better than 3 weeks with the typical box dye. 2nd application i didn’t process it as long and it’s very warm her so I got heavy red again. I did read the instructions twice; at the start of both uses. It’s seems the ends are holding the color longer this time around. Feels like my hair is softer and healthier than I started with. I will continue purchasing this brand. The smell was okay. I added rosemary essential oils. I’ll try a lighter brown/dark blonde my next go. It’s something you gotta fine tune but I like how soft my hair is weeks after applying it.

This fixed my over treated bleached hair. I have been coloring my brown hair blond for at least a decade and it had become dry and the color was off, with very subtle highlights of gray and green. It wasn't anything egregious or obvious but it bothered me. I used the "Lively Light Brown" to bring my hair color back to a healthier looking golden blond. It took about 30 minutes to get the color I wanted and based on strand tests, it would have been very easy to get it too dark. I added a tablespoon of vinegar like the instructions suggested. Also, I was worried about red highlights but this was not an issue with the lively light brown. And my hair was VERY bleached so if there was no red on my hair it wont add any red to anyone else's hair either. It worked great and absolutely NO damage, my hair felt great afterwards, even with the tiny amount of vinegar. I strongly recommend doing a strand test to get this right, this "natural organic" stuff is NOT a joke. It is permanent and acts like real hair dye. At least for my color stripped and damaged hair, this was COMPLETELY PERMANENT. Looking at my order history it has been about a year since I ordered this last time. The tips of my hair are now back to being too blond and stripped of color but it took about a year for them to get there. It did NOT wash out in 8 weeks, although it did lighten slightly. This interacted fine with blond commercial hair dye, no weird reactions or unexpected colors. I retouched my roots about 8 weeks later with John Freida medium golden blond hair dye.

. Like another reviewer I used another Henna product that came as a cream - which didn't do a thing to color my whites. SO I found this and tried ... The following review is after 4 applications - (6 pouches/bags) (2bags - first coloring, 1 bag - 2nd/3rd times, 2 bags - fourth time) ... THE PROS : - colors whites beautifully - hair looks really healthy THE CONS : - Stinks . . even after a couple showers. - WHY DOESN'T THE COMPANY PUT THEIR OWN MASHED LAVENDER / EUCALYPTUS LEAVES IN? . . . No wonder people were giving ones . . It smells and looks like a horse pasture (I rode horses for 14 years.. love the smell, just not on my hair). **AND THE SMELL COMES BACK** when you sweat, wash your hair, get it wet, or even jump in the jacuzzi with your head above water. ! ! ! You'll start off with 'oh this is fine it's just grassy' - then you'll end-up with stench. - A FEW DROPS OF OIL ??? It requires *2 FL oz's* of Eucalyptus oil to cover the smell from one coloring (2 bags). . I asked one of my GUY friends to smell my hair after using "just a couple of drops of essential oil" per the company's suggestion. He said 'I'm getting this urge to grab my lawn mower'.. - The Extra Costs . . That 'just a few drops of oil' is really expensive - especially because it costs $5 for a 0.5 oz bottle . . and I need 2 oz's ($13 online) plus subsequent drops of oil during showers to keep the smell away. - Putting it on = HARD!! The gloves are flimsy with the thick paste; they come-off easily . . It's just a mess. I can't do root touch-ups because this product is so thick and gooey - it won't reach down to just the roots. The only thing I could figure was if I put the goo into a piping bag and tried to get my roots that way, but I never took the time to try. - It gets into your ears (WEAR EAR PLUGS). So that's fixable enough. - Getting the Right Color = HARD . . They write 'be patient' . . The coloring with 'Light Brown' gave me red hair tint (something I am not a fan of) . . I figured it was due to my old hair coloring affecting it. So I took their advice to put in a TEASPOON of salt to the 'Light Brown' powder. It made my hair black-brown. Both are very healthy looking - but not what I expected from Light Brown. IF YOU TRY THIS - and want to get rid of the red tint - try 1/4 a teaspoon first - !!! - HARD TO GET OFF YOUR SKIN . . It cakes like crazy onto your skin and though they say 'comes off easily with soap, water, and a washcloth', you need to go at it with your nails and scrape away, right after coloring. - Bathtub / shower is left a mess . . Sticks to the walls. IF YOU WANT TO TRY . . BUY : - 2 bags -- for just-below shoulder length hair ($20-24 .. w/shipping) - 1 2oz bottle of Euclyptus oil ($13) - Ear Plugs ($4-7) - DO NOT USE PERFUME to hide scent (it will cause reds to come-out in coloring . . I tried . .) FOR ONE HAIR COLORING I PAID : $37-44 If you don't mind all of the above and the colors work for you, go for it; it does color whites. And your hair is really healthy looking. I personally am very gung ho about being natural - and love their concept . . . . . But I'm also miffed - why should I have to buy all that stuff to make their product work? . . . Hopefully the company reads this - and adds natural Eucalyptus / Lavender leaves to their product to get rid of the pervasive smell, as well as increases the qty to be reasonable for a monthly / bi-monthly coloring for just-below shoulder length hair.

Me gustó mucho es café claro dorado.

No cubrió del todo mis canas, tampoco me dejó gran cosa de color, lo dejé maserar toda la noche y lo tuve unas 4 horas puesto, lo que si noté de inmediato es que el efecto engrosador que tiene la henna en mi cabello, en general tengo cabello muy delgado y la verdad tengo poco y muy lasio, para mi sorpresa a partir del primer uso siento mi cabello muy grueso, dejó de caerse y tengo la sensación de que creció bastante de repente (es muy notorio porque tengo el cabello muy cortito, así que cualquier. cambio en él es muy notorio) lo seguiré usando por ese efecto, sin embargo no es una gran recomendación si tu principal uso es cubrir canas
