Henné colour: Copper henné colour (100 g)

quite pleased with the natural copper/orange tone and dazzling shine. hair feels thicker and healthier. the product is 100% natural and really benefits hair. the smell is better than i have expected and is more than tolerable. yes, it is a bit messy and harder to apply comparing to chemical diyes but totally worth it. a couple of things i'd like to know before appying but couldn't find in the net: 1. don't worry if the henna looks green in a container and greenish brown on your hair. once wased out you will get a nice bronze colour 2. the brighter (more orange) you want your hair the longer you need to keep henna on. i was holding it for almost 2 hrs and got pretty orange colour which i was really looking forward to. 3. if your hair has been diyed before - do not worry, nothing bad will happen. some articles say it turns green etc. well mine did not. the only trouble is - you will get a different color at your roots which is particularly visible if your roots are darker. some general tips: 1. do not use metal container for mixing henna with water. only use glass or ceramic ones. metal can create chemical reaction which may alter pigment and result can be unexpected. 2. always use gloves even if these are not provided in the set. 3. add a cople drops of essential oils (i added argan oil) - makes it easier to apply & smells better 4. when the henna is rinsed off use a bit of conditioner to untanle hair and take hidden crumbles of henna off.

Good deep colour and covers greys for a couple of weeks.

I bought this as I am trying to move away from chemicals and excessive plastic packaging. I make most of my own toiletries now but hadn't been brave enough to move to a natural hair dye. Even on my very dark brown/black hair this left a lovely deep auburn tint. My hair feels great, looks so shiny, and I got better results with this than with any number of expensive box dyes or salon attempts. It is a little tricky to apply as it's a sort of thick paste, but that's great because it doesn't drip. The odd spot spilled on the sink and just wiped off, no stains that need bleaching. No nasty ammonia smell either. Overall five stars, and I'll definitely be buying more. I have chin length curls, and I think half a box would be enough next time, so even more economical!

Delivery and item were fine, but I had an allergic reaction to this. I used Henne years ago with no problems, but this caused my ears to burn painfully. I had to sleep with cold compresses on my head and take piriton. Today I've got cream from the chemist, and more piriton. Last night was very painful and scary. Today it's eased, but still hurts. One of my ears is slightly swollen and bright red. both ears are sore and irritated. I'm still freaked out that this stuff is in my hair and scalp. Having done some research, allergy to Henne is due to the chemical additive PPD. This is added when the colour intends to be darker. This is the first time i've gone for a darker colour (I've only ever done reds previously) - so I believe there is PPD in this product, even though the packaging claims it's PPD free. I'm not sure how regulated this is, and how trusted it can be. Next time (if I dare try this again) - I will buy from Lush, who are totally chemical free and understand the allergy issues. For me - this stuff is not safe. Today is a right off - I can't work due to the pain and discomfort, and dozed out on Piriton. I'm still in the '24 hour after contact' zone so have been medically advised to keep an eye on it in case it gets worse - so having a stressful day. Not good. I'll never buy Henne online again.

When I first started using this dye, I loved it. It was easy to use, if maybe a little bit messy but I'd never dyed my hair before so the process seemed fine. It can end up a bit patchy if you don't work it in evenly, but it wasn't too obvious. The results were excellent first time, I had bright, shiny copper hair that received many compliments, as it works as a hair conditioner too. My hair is very long, and one pack was more than enough. After the initial application, I re-dyed the roots every month or so, as necessary - this is easier than reapplying to all of your hair each time, just make up a little of the paste. It was a wonderful product, chemical-free colour and healthy hair. My only complaint was that the last time I dyed it was over 18 months ago, and the colour is still strong. I probably dyed it half a dozen times then waited for it to wash out. It is advertised as a semi-permanent wash-out dye, but the colour has barely even faded from mine, it's just has to grow out! My natural hair colour is blonde, so perhaps it absorbs the colour much more than darker hair. Colour removers and bleaches don't work on henna, and advice from hairdressers was just to grow it out, use of chemicals might change the colour to green or something horrible! Yes it works, and yes it is a lovely, long lasting colour, especially after several applications, but if you are blonde I'd almost advise going for a chemical dye, which can at least be stripped out when you want your own colour back!

I love Henne and wished I had discovered it decades ago. I always knew of its existence but everyone that I knew used it had the very coppery colour which I did not like. Then as grey hairs appeared a friend explained the different colours and that the chestnut will cover grey and can be covered again with the brown which is a dark brown. My hair is naturally frizzy and dry, or it was. Not anymore, now it is very shiny and feels soft and lovely. It is very curly hair but still looks shiny. I have also discovered the Indigo powder which you mix with chestnut Henne and this covers grey brilliantly though can make hair black if left on too long. So last time, two months ago, I used one part Indigo and two parts henne, and hair went very dark brown/nearly black. The grey was covered perfectly. Needed doing again this week so I used same mix but only on roots and left for one hour. Did not work so well. will do again with Indigo and chestnut roots only to cover grey and leave on for hour and half.

This was a good henna, although it washes out after about 2 weeks, or at least the grey is visible on top of my head then. Still I like the color that is not so red as I feared, and now I have bought a haircolor spray to use on top of my head for a few weeks before I have to use the henna again. I would like to use this product again, because it does not harm my hair and body, so I am sorry to hear that this product no longer can be shipped to Norway, I will have to find another buyer. No problem, got it from eBay.

One of my favourite go to products when I need to dye my hair. I’ve been henna for years and I feel like this results in the most pigmented colour. It’s so easy to make it as well, much better than buying it in block form

Great product! After 4 years using another brand of henna I had to chance and I'm happy to see this give me great result! The packaging was broken but not the bag with the product

Mijn haar is oranje

Prodotto ottimo. Copre molto! Grazie a chi l' ha prodotto

Ausgangslage: Meine Haare waren vom ständigen tönen mit billiger Drogeriefarbe absolut kaputt. Die Spitzen waren so ausgetrocknet, dass es aussah, als ob ich in den 80er-Jahren hängengeblieben bin. Auf Grund von unterschiedlichen Farben, die sich nie ganz ausgewaschen haben kann meine Haarfarbe als dunkel-mischmasch-braun mit rötlichem Stich ganz gut beschreiben. Dann habe ich von einer Freundin von Henna erfahren und dachte mir, viel schlimmer kann es nicht werden, sonst müssen die Haare ab. Also mich über die Farben belesen und da ich eh schon imemr mal Kupfer ausprobieren wollte, habe ich mich für Henne Color Copper entschieden. Anwendung: Die Anwendung ist natürlich deutlich aufwändiger als mit herkömmlicher Farbe, aber vollkommen ok. 1. Schwarztee ansetzen, das sorgt für eine intensivere Farbe. 2. Das Pulver gut mit dem noch warmen Tee vermengen bis eine schlammige Masse entsteht. 3. Haare nass machen und dann das Henna auftragen. Ist nicht ganz so leicht, da es doch ziemlich viel gematsche geben kann, aber keine Sorge es wird trotzdem kein fleckiges Ergebnis. Also alles erstmal in den Ansatz schmieren, dafür immer kleine Scheitel von Rechts nach Links weiterlegen. Den Rest in den Längen verteilen. 4. Wenn dann alles drin ist, Frischhaltefolie um den Kopf wickeln und Handtuch drüber. Nach Bedarf vorher die Stellen am Ohr und am Haaransatz mit einem Feuchttuch sauber wischen, da sonst die Haut mit verfärbt wird. (Dauert 2-3 Tage, bis das weggeht) 5. 1-2 Stunden warten, je nach gewünschter Intensität. 6. Anschließend alles mit klarem Wasser auswaschen und fertig ist das Ergebnis! Ergebnis: Die Haare können sich im nassen Zustand noch ein wenig seltsam anfühlen, aber keine Sorge, sobald sie trocken sind habt ihr strahlende kupferfarbene Haare. Am Anfang ist das Ergebnis recht intensiv, aber nach 2-3 Tagen dunkelt das ganze noch etwas ab und bleibt dann so. Und die Farbe hält super! Nach 5-6 Wochen wiederhole ich das ganze, damit der Ansatz nicht ganz rauswächst. Langzeitergebnis: Ich nutze das Henna zum Färben nun schon seit ca. 8 Monaten und ich muss sagen, meine Haare haben sich noch nie besser angefühlt und sahen noch nie so gut aus. Die Spitzen brechen nicht mehr und das ganze spröde Gestrüpp ist von gestern. Also eine ganz klare Empfehlung für alle, die ihr Haare auf gesunde Art und Weise färben möchten. Tipp: Die Haare ein paar Tage vor dem Färben nur noch mit silikonfreien Shampoo waschen, sonst nehmen sie die Farbe nicht so gut an. Unbedingt Einweghandschuh anziehen, wenn ihr die Haare färbt, es sei denn ihr wollt gern mit roten Händen rumlaufen ;)
