Surya Brasil Henna Cream, Black 2.37 oz

I’ve become allergic to hair dye and have severe reaction. This was not the case two years ago, but somehow once you become allergic there is no reprieve. Every time I use hair dye now, the allergy becomes more and more severe. I have tried countless products including organic and those that claim no PPDs, etc. Unfortunately for me, nothing has worked in this long arduous search. Meanwhile my grey roots (on black hair) have become a constant struggle. I’ve even resorted to the daily touch up that washes off before the day is out and leaves fingers with dirt 😞.Most of the products I’ve tried have had effect on coloring my hair but not the stubborn grays. Also, I’m sure folks here know that incredible annoyance of prepping hair coloring. I decided to try Surya. I also combined in with Natur Vital Hair Coloring Mask.Surya is pre mix cream. That’s a great bonus. I really need help for root touch up..the stubborn ones that don’t change color. Since I’m afraid of allergy, I applied in a way that will minimize touching skin. 1) I applied Surya on dry hair. This way I really see which stubborn grey I needed to target. Also, I think for me, damp hair, ends up allowing the dye to travel to my skin faster...and more irritant. 2) I used a mascara brush ( I cleaned out one from mascara in my make up kit). This really allowed me to get to the strands that require attention. This may seem like a lot of time but actually target the problem areas is a very efficient way to solve for my problem 3) I left the Surya solution in my hair (covered with cap) for two hours. I’ve read enough reviews here saying that less time seems to have no good outcome. I would have gone longer but had to be cautious as I don’t know if I will have allergic reaction. 4). I rinsed throughly after 2 hours. 5) after rinse, i applied Natur Vital (same black color) coloring mask to all my hair to help balance the color and shine since I only used Surya to touch up. Natur Vital Coloring Mask is great and it colors the hair but not the stubborn grays . I left this coloring mask on hair for just 15 minutes. 6) I rinsed thoroughly .Results: when I blow dried my hair 90% of my stubborn greys were covered! I see were I could have targeted better the strands that didn’t . My hair is shiny and bouncy, and no evident grays. I am on day three and no sign of fades. I am sure it will fade sooner than the chemical dyes. However, this regimen is easy compared to all I’ve tried and no complains. Best of all I have had NO allergic reaction. That is the best relief of all.Maintenance: I have the Natur Vital black color shampoo and also the coloring mask I can use as often as I want. Since Surya is resealable, I have plenty of it to touch up my roots anytime I want with a handy mascara brush. So even though Surya seems expensive, for me it’s not because it will last a while for the touch up method.

I have been using Surya Brasil Henna Cream Black to cover my gray hair for about10 years. It does the job.

Covers grey well and made of primarily natural ingredients. Wish the color lasted longer - it fades to light copper color in 4-5 weeks

I remember using the reds and browns of this product for years, and I was looking forward to returning to it. Henna always left my hair soft and shiny.This was completely different. First of all, "cream" is a stretch for the clumpy liquid I received. I shook the life out of it before hand and as I've mentioned I've used henna before, so I'm not a newbie to the process. It was next to usable and an absolute nightmare to clean up.Second, the "cap" is literally just a loose bag. No elastic or draw string or absolutely anything to keep the liquid saturating your hair from running all over you. I look like I went rounds with Mike Tyson. My face, neck, hands, counters, sink, floor, towels, tub, cat, neighbors, unborn child and ears are all stained. Absolutely everything EXCEPT my hair is processed.I don't know if the black is always like this because it is a different mixture than the red or brown, but good to know that this once excellent product is a thing of the past.

Surya Creme Henna is soooo easy to use. You can just do roots after you stain your hair with it. Your hair will be beautiful. Mine is very ling and very dark, you wash, towel dry, apply, and relax for as long as 2 hours. Surya does not burn or have chemicals, no PPD, it actually makes your hair healthy. Yes it is semi permanent, but worth the work, if you wash often, you can even run it through the roots, between washes, by diluting itt, and leave it in, very safe. Unscrew the top and gently warm ( not hot) it in the microwave it really sinks in then! This vendor LY….is great too. I ordered lots. Unbeatable price, and the boxes are shrink wrapped! Keeps the product fresh longer. The expiration date was very long too, no short dates. Amazing Vendor amazing Amazon as always! I am a happy Amazonian.

I have been using this product for more than ten years. At one stage I was almost going to abandon it because the dye became more and more watery and clumpy ao every tine i used it it was a mess and a nightmare. it has been improved significantly, thank goodness, no longer clumpy and watery. BUT NOW, the price has gone up significantly but the package does not include the gloves and cap anymore. How hard is it to include a shower cap and bring back the plastic gloves which cost very little to nothing but would create a lot of goodwill instead of irritation for me when I expect them and have to go and order them separately after receiving and finding they are not there?

I'm allergic to hair dye and this works well

I love this product and how well it dyed my gray hair ♥️
