Zenia 100 grams Pure Henna Powder For Hair Dye Hair Color

This was my go to henna brand for 4+ years. Began using it when the gray hair began stand out. I have 2b/c curly hair and it worked great to tame the frizz and condition it, not affecting my curl pattern at all. I also have some slight red to my hair so it blended well. I loved that after dying it no one asked me if I dyed my hair. It just had a natural look to it and with my grays, it almost looked like highlights after the color settled.My process was to just using hot water, mix the entire package in a glass pie pan, cover it in plastic wrap, and set on top of the fridge overnight. I then divided up it, using 1/3rd the mix for root touch up and freezing the remaining in 2 1/3rd sectioned ziplock bags. Freezing never damaged the product for me and made it easy to use the next time I needed a touch up.I found the easiest application was to use one of the tube brush applicator from a commerical root touch up dye kit that I re used. It does stink, best I can relate it to is wet hay or alfalfa. The smell lasts 2-3 washes, about as long as it takes for the color to fully settle, but is only noticeable when the hair is wet. The color was a little orange the first few days, esp on the gray hairs. I always dyed with that in mind, doing it on a Friday night or a week or two before big events.I would leave it on for 6-9 hours depending on my day and do a mermaid rinse in a bucket to wash out the majority of it. This helped to break down any grit and to really get it soaked for rinsing in the shower.I only stopped using it when I wanted to be able to dye my hair bright colors again. I spent over a year growing my hair out and cutting over a foot of hair off. Using dye with developer to hold me over on gray coverage. The henna hair didn't react to the dye as predictably as my natural hair, often turning darker than expected. I also used olive and coconut oil, vitamin c, and dandruff shampoo in rotation to pull the henna out as much as possible. Because so many henna product can contain metals I was worried about bleaching over it, since I've heard horror stories of hair breakage and smoking hair. However, after a test strip and no concerning reactions I felt safe to bleach. I've done 3 bleach baths on it but with no extreme change compared to how my natural hair responded but also no damage to make me question the authenticity of this product. I can't speak to what a full strength and timed bleaching process would do as I haven't tried it.If your looking to henna your hair, I fully recommend this product, just be aware that there is a commitment to it that lasts much longer than any other type of dye, basically as long as you still have that section of hair. If I ever decided to go back to henna this is the product I will be purchasing again!

Absolutely gorgeous hair without any chemicals or allergic reactions!This stuff is amazing. It not only covers the greys but NEVER fades or washes out. You just have to do the root touch-ups, and that's it. It's a different shade for everyone and makes it that much cooler. My neighbor uses it too, and her hair is almost black, whereas mine is more like a deep red, and Rachel Maksy's hair is fire red.To use:I put half the package into a glass dish and mix with raspberry tea until goopy. It's ok if it has chunks as they will disappear. Then I leave it overnight. In the morning, I use gloves to goop it all over my hair. Then I cover it in plastic wrap and a plastic bag for 3.5 hours. Then I rinse it out and hop in the shower like normal. Lots of people say not to wash it with shampoo or conditioner, but I've never had an issue with it.I do touch-ups in my roots about once a month because the grey REALLY stands out against the red as it grows in. But you can wait as long as you want to. Each hair growth is different.

Thai is a really good product. I used Jamila brand henna years ago and loved it. Now I tried this and it is just as good quality. It's been finally sifted and there's no clumps. I use this particular batch for body art and I will agree and say that you need to let the dye release for several hours if not overnight before you attempt to use this. I always used lemon juice to help bring out the colors but you can also use water. Your mileage and skin tone will vary but pictured. Here are my hands 48 hours after application.Ignore the red line. That was something different. It has nothing to do with the henna itself.

This covers grays amazingly well. If you have tons of grays mixed in dark hair like I do, it’ll cover the gray hairs as a vibrant, natural red (once it fades a bit; at first it’s quite bright) and add a red hue to the dark hairs. My hair is about to my shoulder blades and thin. I’m able to get two uses out on the 100 gram packet.Here’s how I use it: I divide it in half and save the other half for another time. I wash my hair first and usually have it damp before proceeding with the next step. Now I add half of the henna powder in a bowl with a splash of apple cider vinegar, one beaten egg, about a tablespoon of castor oil, and about a 1/4 cup of whatever conditioner I’m using at the time. Then I mix it all together and add water as needed to get a whipped cream-like consistency. While wearing latex gloves and an old shirt (trust me, you don’t want this on your clothes) I gently start adding it to my scalp and massage it all over my head while paying close attention that none of my hairline is missed. Once all of my hair is covered I wrap it in plastic. It’s important all of it is under plastic so it doesn’t dry out. Any spots that dry out won’t absorb the color well.And then I wait for about 3-4 hours before rinsing it out. I don’t recommend rinsing your hair directly over a drain. I awkwardly rinse my hair over a bucket and flush the contents because this stuff has clogged my drain in the past. While rinsing I use conditioner only. Don’t use shampoo. It’s too drying and doesn’t do a good job removing the henna.Finish with a very moisturizing leave-in conditioner. The bright color fades quickly after a few washes so don’t be alarmed at how bright it is at first. A lady I met actually thought I was a natural redhead and was surprised when I told her I wasn’t. I’m very impressed with this product and will definitely order again.P.S. In the photo I have bleached hair after the first few inches so the color is much lighter on that part. The first few inches of my hair has never been bleached so this result is what you can expect with dark salt and pepper hair.

My hair originally was a light brown and took to the Henna really well. While the instructions said I would need at least 400 grams for waist-length hair, I found 300 grams of Henna was more than enough. I let it rest on my hair for four hours and didn't do a second rinse until 48 hours later. So far, my hair has kept the color, even though it has toned down since the very first few days. Here are photos of me one day after and a week later for comparison (and one just of my original hair). I have been dying my hair red on and off for several years, but this definitely gave me the best results.
