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 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
