Chocolate Brown Henna Hair Dye

I had serious doubts about my ability to apply henna to my hair, but I cast all doubts the side and tried it. I purchased the neutral Henna, as I have many blonde highlights, and I’m trying to grow my hair back to its natural color, which is more of a dishwater blonde. I used the gloves and the hair cap which came in the kit. The Henna was a green color, and all I did was mix enough hot water in it so that it resembled pancake batter. I had read reviews were folks had said to not use any metal, such as a metal pan or spoon as you would turn your hair green. I separated my hair into about five or six segments. However I did not want my bathroom to look like a swamp, so I colored my hair outside. I just put a blanket down but I didn’t care about and gooped this pancake mix on each segment. When I was done with each segment I rolled it into a big bun on the top of my head, gooped more Henna on it and covered it with the shower cap that it came with. I also had an additional shower cap that I used. I left it on for one and a half hours. Now by that time it was very dry, and it looked like I had oatmeal in my hair. I went back outside and used my garden hose to rinse out all of the Henna. But then I went back in the shower and put a deep conditioner on my hair for about five minutes. I did not shampoo my hair, until after 24 hours had passed . Now I wasn’t quite sure the first day about the texture of my hair. I felt like I didn’t get all of the hen it out, but it was noticeably thicker, and shinier. But after the second day I shampooed it and put conditioner on it and dried it, and man the results were great. My hair looked shiny and healthy. My sides and ends that were dried and very bleach’s, were softer and healthier looking.The neutral did color my highlights a little bit, but it turned them more of a honey color rather then bleached out blond. The product said it was neutral, but I think because the mixture was green, that’s what muted my highlights a bit, but I did not mind as it turned my highlights more of a golden honey color .it also made the transition of roots to bleached highlights less noticeable. The Henna smelled like a cross between tea leaves and grass. I thought it smelled pleasant, actually. This Henna seems to be of high quality as it was very finely ground. But, if I were you, I would definitely do the whole Process outside. The mess is worth it, though. Plus, I felt like I was doing my hair a favor instead of stripping it further with bleach. Next time I will leave on for two hours or more. This is an honest review, I was not paid nor given any samples. I just decided to take the plunge to Henna, and give up the expensive hair salons and vicious bleaching cycle.

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 6/24/14 I 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.

I did so much research before trying henna. I was confident in Henna King. I picked Copper to go over my Terra Cotta red (first picture). I did everything exactly as the videos for them said. I didn't add anything extra, either. I don't know if I was a victim of mislabeling as I am seeing in other Amazon reviews or if this isn't a clean henna as they say, but after my journey I am coming back to give a review. 1. I originally used a dark deep box red 2. upon getting bored with the dark color, I did a bleach bath and fell in love with the ginger look. 3. I started using Wella Terra Cotta which was a bit darker than my bleach bath but still had a more natural shade than the previous boxed color. 4. I was growing weary of the dulled ends chemicals left behind, so I started looking into henna. 5. I thought Henna King would be great to move on to, try and get my shine back, etc. 6. I did exactly what the instructions said to, and I should have followed the alarm bells when the instructions said no dye release period was necessary but I did as it said anyway. 7. my immediate results were so dark brown with ends and more porous areas BLACK. no joke. good thing it was Halloween time? (pic #2 is 3 days after my attempt to strip it >>) And yes, I did do a clarifying hair treatment prior because water is particularly hard in my area. 8. I spent the next 2 days attempting to remove as much dark color as possible with tips on Dr Google. Looking back, I recall green tints coming out in the coconut oil and lemon juice I put my hair through so I do wonder if there was bad indigo in the mix they sent me (should have never contained indigo for COPPER anyway!). I was able to get enough out over the next week to avoid cutting my hair and live with it. 9. 2 months later, after finding another henna via Dr Google by typing in "why did my red henna turn black" and that had much more of a cautious approach to their products (no premixed items, lots of wonderful reading on plant details and science of henna and hair and the dangers that lurk in the henna world) I decided to try again. This time just over my hair as is, no lightening first. It was day and night. the color was amazing. I spent months using their products and being part of an online community with real results from real people, even those continuing to do lightening, perming, etc etc things to their hair with no hiccup! 10. Well ... I wanted to go back to my more ginger days. I had an ombre thing in mind to keep my dark roots... I attempted to bleach my length at 20 and 30 vol with a temple chunk at 30 vol longer for a fun semi perm color. My hair suddenly became extremely hot and I started to see smoke or something, and I jumped in the shower just 10-15 minutes into the process. Sure, I should have done a test section for longer than 5 minutes, but who is thinking the are bad things in Henna King?? My hair didnt fall out or melt or catch fire, luckily, but I did get a very distinct green cast on my length of hair (now a strange light brownish ginger) and my light streak had so much green in it, you can see braided in the 3rd picture. The parts of my growth that hady new henna company on it bleached fine but the older length with HK? ugh. Luckily I had picked magenta for my fun color so the color wheel told me it should cover the green, but my length?? Henna attaches to the keratin in your hair (learning science things!) so I knew I couldn't just henna over the green. 11. I ended up having to use a bottle I had left over from my Terra Cotta days and soak my length in it to cover the green cast. I am sad I cannot lighten the parts of my hair I wanted to but I'm glad I didn't lose my hair. I will just have to wait 2-3 years before my hair grows enough to cut all the HK out and at that time I can consider lightening again. In the mean time I am adjusting my henna to a deeper red dye release and copperverry fruit acid to put (FX!) a bright auburn over my new length color, I cant wait for my AS package to show up and make my length look naturally red again! Hopefully it can cover up some of this mess any way, because I def can't strip the color out knowing there's ugly green under there! But hey, if u want to go magenta with AF's Wrath, it'll cover any residual green nicely (last pic). BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!

This was my first time using Henna Maiden, and I would like to preface this review by saying I am absolutely delighted with this product! It's wonderful. First I'll give a brief background, and then I'll outline what needs to be done to have a successful go at using this product. I've also uploaded pictures. I'm a natural redhead, but now that I'm older I have a fair bit of grey, and need some help. Trying to maintain my natural red color that I grew up with has been expensive, as my hair is long, and my hair was paying for it as well because it grows quickly and the processing dried it out horribly. After a year my hair had the look and texture of hay, which was horrible and beyond remedy. After googling 'red hair' I stumbled upon this product. Now, why I had not heard of this before, I'll never know because I swear it's God's gift to redheads! It's affordable, beautiful, nourishing, it does not fade as other products (from what I've heard), and you can do it right at home - and it's ORGANIC! How can you beat that, right? So I did some research and gave it a go. Here is some pointers for you if you're a first timer like me. After doing this once, I realized very quickly exactly what needed to be done for a "better" or "easier" experience. So here goes... #1. AMOUNT: I have long hair down to my waist, but it's not as thick as it used to be. After reading reviews from others with long hair I decided to mix three packages of Henna Maiden Natural Radiant Red. I followed the directions explicitly. I will tell you that I had far more than needed and actually ended up wasting one third of it. So next time, I'll know better. For those of you with thicker hair, I would suggest the three packages. #2. MIXING: I did not add egg or oil. But I did use tea, which I have heard helps "set" the color or intensify it. I chose Earl Grey because it has a beautiful bergamot scent and a lovely color as well. Henna is an herb which smells very "green". It was not offensive to me at all! I actually found it quite therapeutic. But for those of you who want to cover that, then I suggest using the Earl Grey tea or essential oils. For the three packages I used FOUR CUPS of hot tea. This created a thick paste which resembled something you'd see in your infant's diaper. :) #3. PREP: Here's the key - you need to prep. I purchased the following before I applied the product: - a large inexpensive towel for wrapping my hair afterward - because the color does bleed immediately after. - petroleum jelly to line my hairline and cover my ears - a thick pair of rubber dish gloves (playtex). I do not suggest using the ones in the package as they split easily and are not form fitting. - celophane wrap or cling wrap to wrap your head. Again, I do not suggest using the shower cap in the package as it is quite thin and unstable. - an old t-shirt or two - small hair clips - large comb Now that you have your items assembled, remove everything in your bathroom that would possibly be exposed to any potential dripping. Henna will stain on contact. I removed my bathroom rugs and towels, and items from my vanity as well. I began by separating my hair into segments. I know now that is an extremely imporant part of preparation. Because once your gloves are slathered in henna, separating and combing your hair for the next application will be virtually impossible. Therefore, as part of your prep, take the time to separate your hair into small segments all over your head with a small clip. I had washed my hair prior to application, and my hair was damp when I applied the product, which made it much more manageable. Take the petroleum jelly and go around your hairline with a good amount, including lathering your ears. #4. APPLICATION: Now that you have your hair prepped, begin applying the paste at the root working it in like you would a shampoo, and then draw it out gradually through the strands. The strands must be completely covered! Wrap that segment of hair to your head into a 'bun'. Apply a topcoat of paste to that bun. I suggest working at the front first so that hair is removed and you can clearly see what you're doing. Continue this process over the entire area of your head, wrapping the hair around that central 'bun'. When you're finished you should have all your hair secured to the top of your head. Then coat the entire head in henna paste. Once you've coated your head, begin wrapping your head in celophane. Leave no gaps. #5. PROCESSING: I allowed 2.5 hours for my hair. I found that to be more than enough time for the color I wanted. I washed my gloves carefully, donned them again, and began to unwrap my head. I made to sure to have a small trash bag at my side so I could safely discard the used celophane - because it can be a mess. Once my head was unwrapped I rinsed out the product with warm water by kneeling over the rim of my bathtub and dipping my head beneath the spigot. This worked perfectly, keeping all the runoff away from my face and other parts of my body. I allowed a good rinse for about 20 minutes. You'll find that there is a lot of bleeding and it took a long while before the water ran clear. Once it did, I washed my hair of any possible residue and applied a light conditioner. I used the special towel to wrap my hair and as expected, there was a significant amount of 'bleed'. Then I dried my hair. #6. RESULTS: The immediate results were shocking at first, I must say. For a bold personality such as mine, they had the ability to make me shy. :) The color was a bright orange (I used Radiant Natural Red). The color was extraordinarily intense and bright. Yet I held to hope that it would continue to do it's magic and IT DID. The next day I shampooed my hair again and I did not see a lot of color change until the SECOND FULL DAY. I will tell you that henna behaves much differently than conventional chemical dyes. The color turned a beautiful auburn that was absolutely stunning. I will tell you that I've received compliment after compliment from jealous women who were dying to know if that was my natural color. When I told them my secret they were stunned. (See photos) So if you use this product, please know that initially, the color can be extraordinarily bright and look a bit garish and gaudy. But by the second day it was absolutely GORGEOUS - precisely what I wanted. For those of you who are able - do it on a weekend. Process on Friday night and by Monday morning at the office, you'll be a knockout! #7. TEXTURE | MANAGABILITY: As for the texture of my hair, I am AMAZED. I've found that henna actually "healed" my hair. It no longer feels or looks like hay at all. It feels silky soft and it SHINES. Henna does make your hair feel thicker, because it does something to the shaft that is very therapeutic. So if you have fine hair (I have moderate - it is neither coarse or fine) you'll probably be thrilled with this benefit as well. My hair responded very well to a curling iron, and I am tickled pink at the results. Every one of my friends who have seen me since the process give an eye-popping "Wow!!!" with a huge smile. They've said, "I LOVE your hair!!!" And they're amazed when I tell them what I've done. I hope this post if helpful to all of you who intend to use this product. As for me, dipping my head into chemicals every 6-8 weeks for a price tag of $100 + for the rest of my life was no longer an option for me for numerous reasons (cost, chemical exposure, etc.). This procuct is a God-send and I will NEVER go back. I will have you know that I'm well stocked. :) I hope you try it and find the results to be just as GLORIOUS as I did! DON'T FORGET TO VIEW MY PHOTOS! Cheers!

Henna is complicated but so in getting cancer or horrible health problems so I ditched the nasty chemical dyes forever and switched to henna. A friend of mine was diagnosed with a horrible health problem that destroyed her chances of having children. Her doctor told her to ditch crazy hair dyes, parabens and weird chemicals in her beauty routine. When she shared this, I thought it would be a good idea to cover my bases and do this too. Because switching to natural hair dye and organic makeup, lotion and hair products has changed my life I am leaving my longest product review ever and outlining my process. About my hair: long, naturally extremely curly, went completely grey at 20, now going SUPER silver slowly, It is thick. My black girlfriends told me it would help to relax the frizz and it totally does. My new henna treated hair (6" from the crown at this point) has the texture of a teen girl's hair. I love it. It took me 6 months to figure out the process for dying my hair with henna that works best for me. I started with the Lush henna, it seems to be a gateway drug for most henna initiates, but soon found the great dyes online that are less mess and less expensive. I repeat this process every 2-4 weeks. This is a two step process and it works to successfully cover grey hair. NEVER EVER add apple cider vinegar to henna. It makes it smell terrible and attracts bugs (cockroaches and ants). Use organic black tea in the second step. Make sure they dies sit overnight. Use distilled or very filtered water for all steps. There are about half a dozen ingredients added to the Henna Maiden brown dye that promote hair growth and nourish it. There is Amla in it which is also a super food that is great for skin and nails. It has powdered neem that helps keep fungus (dandruff) away. You could buy each of these ingredients separately and mix it yourself. I wouldn't trust myself to consistently mix the right amounts. The second brown step does contain some indigo but not enough to cover my greys. I purchased a separate package of indigo and use almost 1 part indigo to one part dark brown second step mix. Note; mix the brown dye and indigo separately and let them sit for an hour then mix together extremely well. You can mix the dyes well in advance and they won't be worse for the wear. I have found that an hour is adequate. My process: 6pm Using a glass pyrex cup I make 2 cups of organic black tea and let it steep and cool on the kitchen counter 7pm Using distilled lukewarm water I mix the 1st step, the henna (included in the Henna Maiden package) alone and let it sit for an hour before applying. *Note do this in a plastic bowl with a plastic spoon. 7:55 pm I remove the bathroom rugs, get out a hair dye flat brush with stiff bristles, lay out the plastic wrap, gloves, giant scarf, plastic hair clips, ugly old towel to dry my hair, paper towels or old cleaning rags, shower cap and I apply coconut oil to my hair line to cut down on dyed skin. 8pm I apply the henna to extremely clean, dry hair that has NO oils, mousse or styling products in it. I wrap the edges of my hair in a long strip of plastic wrap. (my hair is in plastic hair clips piled on top of my head) I then put on the shower cap, tie a giant scarf over the cap and plastic wrap to keep heat in and clean my house, careful to avoid all windows as to not scare the neighbors. 9:30 pm Mix part of the brown mix with the black tea until you get a creamy, heavy peanut butter consistency. In a separate plastic or glass bowl using a plastic spoon I mix a nearly equal amount of indigo (don't use the tea but use the distilled water for the indigo) 10 pm I rinse the henna with slightly warm water in the tub by kneeling over a HUGE pot (3 gallons) then dumping the water in the toilet to keep from cementing my bathroom plumbing shut. I do this approximately three times. Right now you have hair the color of Lucille Ball, don't freak out, this is your base color and it will look pretty layered under the brown hair dye. 10:30 pm While my hair dries I completely mix the indigo and brown together. (if your dye leans too red you can purchase and add a little bit of organic amla- about 1 teaspoon at this time) I also wipe up the dripped henna water from the floor and clean the toilet. It looks ugly. I dry my hair well and when is is pretty much totally dry I apply the mix of my indigo and brown mix that came in the package. 11-11:30 pm after applying the thick mix I cover my piercings on my ears with bandaids or medical tape to keep henna out of them. My piercings get really infected if henna creeps into them, yes I'm probably slightly allergic. I then put on the shower cap, tie a giant scarf over the cap and plastic wrap to keep heat in and go to bed on an old pillowcase. At this time I will tell you it is possible to dye your eyebrows with henna and considering the risk of getting the dye in your eyes I remind you to use extreme caution. I am NOT endorsing doing this but you want your eyebrows to match your hair. In theory, and I am not saying this works... you could carefully put plastic wrap over your henna laden eyebrows and wrap it all the way around your head. 6:30-7:30 am. I wake up and make myself some coffee, mixing in the remaining chai and some stevia and coconut milk, yum! I rinse my hair repeating the crazy giant soup pot thing from above, using cool water and then shower. In the shower I add an organic, paraben free conditioner to help me work out the rest of the dye. Do not shampoo and water that is anywhere near hot. Rinse your hair in the shower until the water runs clear. Your hair will be a little red and slightly dark for about 5 days. If you have an event I would recommend dying your hair about 5 days or 2 hair washes prior to the event. I use this process to dye my roots. As you work out the chemical hair dyes and your hair grows you will notice you have some variations in color in your hair, this is normal. If it's just awful consider cutting it. As my hair has grown out since switching to henna one year ago I have noticed the new hair texture is BEAUTIFUL. My hair is supple and healthy looking and I have started growing more new hair in the last 6 months. If you have thinning hair your chemical dyes may be part of the problem. If you routinely change hair colors henna dyes are not for you. You can't simply go to a salon and have this reversed. Henna is extremeley permanent. It does fade slightly over time. I touch it up completely every 4 or 5 months and I plan to let it fade this summer for a warm, sun-kissed look. At this time clean your house and bed VERY well. The tiny particles of henna attract bugs because it is a healthy food. Absolutely do NOT wear a white or light colored shirt or scarf until you have washed your hair 24-48 hours later.

UPDATE: I think the second package I got was the wrong shade! Instead of auburn, I ended up with a chocolate/dark brown! Disappointing. Now all my gorgeous auburn is gone. Okay, first things first: Get yourself some good coloring gloves at any pharmacy and a decent shower cap (I had some left over from hotel visits). Because the stuff in the "kit" is junk. The cap tore before I could even get it on, and the gloves are these huge lumberjack one-size-fits all ones. They are not made for women's hands! Anyway, they just stuck to the paste and I could blarely keep them on. The color itself turned out awesome, however! I never used henna before, but I remember my mother did when I was young. I diluted the mixture with tea, not with water (I think it made for a richer color). And like someone here suggested, I used a plastic ziplock baggie and just cut a corner off. Then you just frost yourself like a cake. The stuff is actually exactly the consistency of frosting. The smell did not bother me at all. It smells like dried herbs, that's all. I guess the people who complained about the smell are so used to chemical synthetic fragrances, they can't stand anything natural. I also put an old winter hat over the plastic cap to keep the paste warm after I applied it - I remember my mom doing that. After about 2 hrs, I went to wash it off and egad, that took a while! I had what looked like orange soda running down the drain for at least 20 mins. But with lots of conditioner, I was finally able to get it off. The color is a bit darker than I expected but very nice and colored the few of my grays very well. My hair also feels super smooth and very strong! So the henna itself I highly recommend, but the "kit" - no so much.

Love love loved Henna! This is my first time to try Henna, I have a medium brown hair color. And to be honest I was extremely scared at first to try Henna, cause I'm a hair freak and i love my hair! I had a real bad experience with trying to fix my chemically ruined hair. My hair was messed up at a salon. So I've been using drug store chemical dyes (natural and ammonium free) for the past 6 months to cover up and darken the platinum blonde the stylist gave me, figured red would stick best. But it made my hair split and it was so dry! The store dyes would fade so fast and become orange after a while, and after the second time i even started to lose hair! And yes i cried. That's just me... :/ With Henna my hair is so soft and has a beautiful color, I mixed the wine red (100mg) with the auburn(100 mg) since i have medium to long length hair below my bosom. 1. I Love the color! I read an article stating to use 100mg for short or above shoulder length hair, 200-300mg for medium length hair, and 300-500mg for waist length or longer. When doing the process it's better to have a pancake batter thickness more watery than having it thick. Makes it far easier to put on your hair and far easier to massage into your head. I added 2tablespoons of olive oil for each 100mg i was using and 2tablespoons of lemon juice, i also used red zinger and tazo passion tea instead of just plain water cause it helped with the henna smell people complain about. I just used 4 coffee mugs two for each type of tea, and make sure the tea is hot, not scalding but if it's cold you won't see the Henna change color. :( 2.Definetly use a towel if you're going to try henna i just used a hand towel and tied it around my neck with a hair tie. You'll want to start cleaning off your skin immediately too, once your hair is finished and up in a hair cap. I used olive oil and salt as a natural exfoliant, and conditioner any kind you have should do (I use Organixs hair coconut conditioner). I left the hair conditioner and olive oil mixture on for about 5minutes, wash, and then repeat if needed. As a last resort use hydrogen peroxide, leave it there for a minute or two, and then wipe it off with a wet cloth. 3. I only left my henna on for about an hour cause i wanted a lighter red color. (Remember Henna darkens after 24hours!) After an hour i did wash my hair out with A LOT of conditioner cause henna has a sort of sandy and milky texture to it. Which is hard to get out with just water (Just kinda like when you go to the beach!) I did use a brush in the shower to help get that sand out too just cause my hair is so long! Afterwards I blow dried my hair (using cold air) and put a small amount of coconut oil in it to deter the smell. I loved using this brand of henna and i will definetly be buying from them again! I went to go see my boyfriend later and he just kept commenting on how amazing i looked all day. :)) Felt great to have my old hair back! Soft and strong! The henna smell will go away usually in a day or two, it is important to not wash your hair for the next 24-48 hours though. That's why i put the coconut oil in my hair, kinda soaked up the henna smell. Glad my boyfriend didn't notice any smell! ;) Hope my review can help someone, and hope you have a great experience with Henna! I can't believe how great it worked for my hair. :)

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 = red I 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.

لم استفد منه

I use it for my facial hair it works great just you have to know how to use it I mix it using distilled water after I put on my facial hair and eyebrows I cover it with plastic foil that I use in a kitchen to wrap food it is important to cover not to loose moisture after 1 hour I wash it out The most important thing if you want to get best color result do it at night before you go to bed because it takes about 4-5 hours to get real color after you removed henna first I see yellow instead of grey but in the morning perfect natural brown I have been using it for about 3 years no irritation at all any other product irritation, redness, burning Thank you MANLY GUY

Me encantó. Tengo el pelo muy negro y muy poco porcentaje de canas, entonces quería pintarlas para disimularlas pero de manera natural. Con el tono res wine las canas tomaron un color vino tinto que contrasta muy bonito con el pelo negro, con la luz natural se ve muy bonito como si me hubiera hecho baby lights. Deja el pelo muy brillante y suave. Le tienes que dedicar tiempo porque tarda horas en pintar y lo tienes que lavar con shampoo 24 hrs después. Pero vale mucho la pena

Excelente producto, mi piel es hipersensible y llevaba años sin poder pintarme mis canas y este producto las cubrió perfectamente y sin hacerme daño. Les recomiendo al mil ya que yo sufría por no poder pintarme mis canas, hasta que este producto me ayudó

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
