Jamila Pure Natural Henna Powder For Hair Dye/Color, 100 grams

First off, many people don’t understand henna and have no clue about it so they review incorrectly. This will work for skin or hair if done correctly. Below are a few things to understand. Henna that is pure can one produce one color and that’s a ginger orange to auburn color. This is real henna. The only difference in this and the body one is the sift which won’t matter much. I poured two boxes out one that’s the BAQ and this one. They were the same. You aren’t getting black henna for skin or hair anywhere. It has to be MIXED with indigo. When a company offers many shades of henna it has things added. Next, this is a progressive dye. It takes 3 days to a week to fully darken. You’ll have a light orange stain at first and it will develop into a darker richer stain as the days go. You need to follow directions closely. You need to allow this to SIT AND CURE COVERED BY PLASTIC for 6 hours before you use it. Any pure henna will be the same. If it didn’t work then they probably didn’t make it correctly. People adding lemon OR vinegar and trying to use it as soon as it’s a paste will be dissapointed. If you bought henna that was black or worked right away then it was adulterated. This gave a deep beautiful stain to the skin. My hair went a beautiful natural auburn. I am a natural redhead and I like to deepen the color. Henna looks so natural. I suggest you absolutely coat the whole head after preparing it and letting it sit and then cover the head with plastic and go to sleep in it. You need to wash it out with conditioner and then leave it alone for three days before you wash or use products. This made my hair silky smoothe and soft. This is the best on the market. You need to google what to do and how to prepare to know what you are doing. I only use water with mine and I let it cute for 6 full hours. It’ll change from green to a orange brown and you can save extra for next time or henna glaze. Skin henna is gonna be a pretty orange brown and will be very deep and visible if done right. You can’t be a first timer and guess and then complain on the product. I have used jamila for years and it’s great. This is the same as the other box except it’s sifted a little less which makes no difference IMO and you can sift it again if you want. THIS CANT PRODUCE ANY OTHER STAIN THAN GINGER! Remember to mix with indigo for a darker stain because this is pure. If You want red red you need to add other things. Pure henna is only one color. Most hennas that offer different colors are made with metallic dye and will be damaging. Real pure henna can be coloured over and this is the good stuff. I love it. One box was enough to do my entire head of very thick boob length hair. I showed a measuring cup for reference so you can see how much is in one box. That amount is almost triple when prepared. It should be a paste and should be pudding consistency. I use hot water to prepare and cover with plastic wrap and leave alone for 6 hours until it changes from green to that day old gauc look. Then it’s ready! This stained my hand for two months when I had a hole in the glove I applied it with. It does skin just fine.

I've been using Henna for over 10years, and it does an amazing job at dying my gray hairs. I use it only to dye my gray hairs. I've heard about Henna years ago on a natural hair forum. It doesn't have any harsh chemicals in it. I love how it is a natural hair dye that doesn't damage my natural hair. It gives my gray hair a nice beautiful reddish tint to it. The outcome is well worth it although it could be kind of messy mixing the henna up. When mixing it up, I just put any cheap conditioner in it like vo5, so it can be less drying to my hair and possibly add a little moisture to it. I also, put a teaspoon of any oil in it, and then mix it with warm water from the faucet. It then becomes a creamy paste like for an example pudding, so it shouldn't be too watery or runny!! I leave the henna on my hair for 2 hours, to give it time to penetrate. I mix the henna powder up the day before I'm going to use it, however, I have used it on my mom's hair on the same day that I had applied it on her hair. I believe the henna last on my hair for at least 2 months until it starts to fade. I wait to do the treatment again every 3 months. Lastly, it strengthens my hair and makes it more healthier and stronger!!

This henna is excellent! It’s smooth and silky (not gritty like some) once mixed with hot water and gives intense but natural looking color. I’ve been using henna since I was 17 and my mother taught me how to use it which I’ll share with you: I use a large wooden bowl I only reserve for henna. When my hair is 3 days unwashed, I take 3 heaping scoops of henna( I just use a plastic coffee scoop), put it into the bowl and mix it with hot water until the consistency is like pancake batter. I then place the bowl into the sink, bend my head towards it and apply the henna onto my dry hair. I then take an ample amount of paper towels to wrap around my head and put a plastic bag over it to keep in the heat and wait one hour before shampooing. If there’s any henna left over, I put it into a container, label it and put it in the freezer. I have medium brown mid length hair with some gray and what happens is the henna comes up one shade lighter on the gray than the rest of my hair which gives totally natural , beautiful looking highlights. The color of this henna has more orange shading. If I decide I want more brownish color, I’ll mix in a scoop of brown henna. If I want a lighter red, I’ll mix in more blonde because i always keep a few shades of henna I can mix for the color I want. I only let this henna stay on one hour for a natural look but if I wanted even more intensity, I would leave it in for two to three hours.

i love this!!! it does exactly what it is supposed to do....i just wish i knew where i can find it now. it seems like it has disappeared from the face of the earth :(
