Brown Henna Hair Color For All Kit | 100% All Natural Indigo Powder Hair Dye & Beard Dye (Chocolate Dark Brown) Organic, Herbal & Vegan Chemical & Cruelty Free Permanent Gray Coverage & Tinting

This stuff is great. I have very very fine and thin hair thats about chest length. I was really worried because the instructions recommended more that a package for a full head of hair but because my hair is so thin I only needed one. ( Id still recommend getting 2 packs if your hair is past shoulder length and normal thickness, if its past your mid back you may need 3. Try to find the chart of how much you need, its shown on the back of the the package.)I like this pack compared to buying henna and indigo separately because you can choose the color option that already has the perfect ratio of henna and indigo to give the desired color, rather than guessing because too much indigo = black and too much henna = redI was going for brown hair and i bought miraculous medium brown for 15.99. This was a drastic change for me because my hair has been chemically processed (to be blonde) a lot before this. I decided to go brown to I can stop worrying about brassy hair. Blonde hair is a lot of work to take care of and I could never keep it the cool ash shade I wanted without constantly putting in chemicals.The process is messy and smelly and takes a long time but its so worth it. I mixed the powder with half water and half apple cider vinegar and got right to work Covered my entire head and waited 2 hrs.As soon as your done make sure to wipe off everything before it stains. Wash your hands and ears and forehead and neck after if you see any henna on them. IT WILL STAIN YOUR SKIN if you leave it. I didn't wash of my hands and they were green and no matter how much you scrub it wont go, it will also really dry out your hands. Although I used the gloves at first I was having a hard time using them cause they are huge for my hands so near the end I used my bare hands to make sure everything was covered -bad idea. I did this a week ago and there is still a little green in the cracks of my knuckles and my hands are very dry were I left the henna. This was of course my fault and won't happen to you as long as you wash after using it.So many have complained about the smell. I laughed at the people who just add water and complain about the smell, I would like to see their reaction to smelling it when adding vinegar. Granted, its not a smell most would like in their hair, the smell of the powder itself is an earthy muddy planty smell. Adding vinegar will of course make the smell worse but helps a lot because henna works well with pHs around 5. The smell reminds me of matcha tea powder. If the smell is really that terrible add essential oils to make it better.Result:My hair absorbed the color very well, too well actually. It was more of a dark brown, probably because my hair was dry and light to start so it took in the color more. I'm still happy with it because it covered my brassy hair. I'm also happy because my hair actually does look thicker. Some people said it dried out there hair but as long as you condition well after you wash it out it shouldn't be a problem.

Amazing results and no allergic reactions. Love it! I just used Henna for the first time. I normally used chemical box hair dyes, available anywhere. I last dyed my hair on January 23rd with a Nutrisse Garnier color. I ended up having a bad reaction to it, which got worse on the second and third days after dying my hair. Benadryl saved me. Then bought another brand, Clairol Naturals, ammonia free, as recommended by a stylist from Oprah. Decided to perform the allergy test and within 24 hours, that patch of skin started showing signs of an allergic reaction. Decided to give Henna a try but was cautious. Performed the recommended allergy test, nothing happened, no allergic reaction of any kind. So today was the first time I have used it on my hair. I do have sensitive skin and have some psoriasis patches on my scalp. No itching, burning or irrtitation of any kind so far.I only used half of the pack of Henna because my hair is above my shoulders and I have very little grey hair, just one here and there. I mixed half of the pouch with 3 tsp of olive oil, 10 drops of lavender essential oil and warm coffee, as recommend by other reviewers if you don't want it too red (I naturally have dark brown hair). I left the henna on my hair for 1 1/2 hours, rinsed for a half hour and conditioned twice with a sulfate free conditioner. I blow dried my hair on low and styled as usual. The color is beautiful, my hair feels soft and healthy. I am so happy with the results. Because I only used half of the packet, I will get two dye sessions with one pack, which makes this purchase a great deal.I actually like the earthy smell and adding lavender essential oils to the henna helped. After rinsing and conditioning, I can sometimes catch a faint whiff of the henna smell in my hair, but it's very light and again, I really like the smell. I can't speak for how long this will last in my hair before I need to do it again, but I will come back and update my review once I can give more information about longevity. I cannot believe that I haven't found this stuff sooner. I would definitely recommend this brand and will be coming back for more.Update: as of 6/24/14I still love this stuff! So I use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner each time I wash my hair, which is everyday. I would say that this stuff lasts at least 6-8 weeks or more before needing to do it again.Also, instead of olive oil I have used coconut oil with fantastic results too. Another tip after putting it on your hair, keep a disposable shower cap on or use plastic wrap to wrap your hair up. While the henna mixture is sitting on your hair, you want the moisture to stay in. This will reduce the amount of time it takes to rinse it out.
