Medium Brown Henna

Please never stop making this beautiful henna!!!! it is absolutely gorgeous and I love that it only has two natural ingredients.. I colored my hair red for over 30 years, but wanted to move to a more natural healthier way of covering gray. I get more compliments now than I ever did with chemical colors and the red actually stays and does not fade… Ever! It’s a miracle.. I do mix it with cool temperature decaf organic coffee as one buyer suggested and then let it sit for at least three hours to mix and then at least three hours on my hair.. no chemical smell , washes out easily… Do follow the manufacturers advice that it does bleed a little for a while so avoid white clothing for about a week, but any white towels that it has bled on easily come out white again after a regular wash. Highly suggested and pray this product never goes away!

I am a performer, I am 44 years old, and have salt and pepper hair. A few years back, I noticed that most hair dies, even though they state that they cover gray hair, would not cover gray hair completely. I started to do a lot of research on the health benefits of switching to Henna. Most, Henna products have salt in them, which, if you have processed your hair prior, can cause your hair to break off. The Henna guys does not have the salt in their henna! I have a very dear friend that turned me onto this particular company. They have a lot of integrity, and the colors are so beautiful. I had been bleaching my own hair and dying at different colors. Mainly Pravana, and also semi permanent vegan dyes. I am a Tour Guide in New Orleans, and it gets quite hot here and tend to sweat a lot during the summer time, especially. One day I noticed, as I took witch hazel and wipe my chest, the cotton pad was black. I started to do research on the effects of chemical dyes, and how it is absorbed into your body, what I found is there are some cancer causing affects. Your skin is one of the biggest organs, I wanted to improve my mental health as well, as I am perimenopausal and figure that the absorption of these chemicals is probably affecting things that I don’t realize. Henna dye, darkens overtime, so I was quite worried to commit to this. I have long straight hair that almost touches my lower back for the first application, I used hibiscus tea that I brewed, put the deep red powder in a glass bowl. You do not want to use any kind of metal bowl slowly mixed the hibiscus tea in and stirred the Henna, so that there were no clumps and a cookie dough kind of texture. I also used Bravani powder. Adding in a quarter of the packet, this is something that you can add to the Henna that helps with strengthening the hair, etc. You can go on the henna guys.com and see the options that they have. I also used a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, then I let the Henna sit for eight hours, and set an alarm on my phone. I used three packets which was way too much, but wanted to make sure I had enough. After eight hours I mixed it again. Then I took a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and mixed it in, as the reviews stated it would help with gray coverage. I also made sure that I had a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. I used a regular hair, dyeing, brush, gloves, and had a plastic cap nearby, the easiest way to do this with long hair, you section your hair off and four different sections and clipped the ones back that you were not using. You can use your hands, but I found it much easier to use a dye brush. I don’t know what people are so fussy about, I was reading reviews, and they said that it was super messy, however, I didn’t have any issues. Keep in mind I’ve been dying my hair for many many years. I did put a cape on over my clothes and made sure I wasn’t wearing anything that I would care about getting Henna on. If you get henna on your hands or body, it’s actually not as bad to get it off like people say. Use lemon juice and baking soda. Mix it into a paste and let it sit on your skin where you accidentally died, and after a couple minutes, just scrub it off with a washcloth, off and no problem Depending on the length of your hair, will determine how long you need to wait until you apply it. Once you apply the henna, you have to let it sit on your head for three hours and cover it. It is a clay, so your hair will feel heavy. Honestly, I just twisted my hair up into four buns and put a cap on basically just did some house work after three hours, I went into the shower to rinse it off. It is extremely important that when you rinse it off it is cold water. Also, it’s a good idea to rinse off the top of the cap before you pull it off. If you have long hair, you’re definitely one gonna wanna lean your head back and keep it back, the first time I did this I didn’t do this, and the water that dripped down my face had had a die coming down, so I did actually need to scrub my face after this happened. I would highly suggest a mirror on the side of your shower you can also start with warm water at first to acclimate your body, and then rinse it out if your hair. I would definitely suggest putting a leave in conditioner that is super hydrating that sulfate free, a.k.a. maybe a coconut or jojoba hair mask. Put it in your hair and leave it on as long as you can after the first application, then go in and rinse it off with cold water. A lot of people don’t realize that if you have been processing your hair for sometime, it takes your hair a while to adjust. Literally, the henna will coat your hair, follicle and help heal your hair, but it takes time. My hair felt dry and brittle the first time, the second time was better, and the third time, I finally feel like my hair has adjusted and it’s soft and silky. Honestly, after I first did my hair, it was very soft due to the oils I put in my hair. Just know if you do decide to take a warm shower, to actually seal the henna dye into your hair, you do need to use cold water the more you wash your hair with warm water, the quicker it will rinse out. The gray coverage is amazing and the health benefits are also equally as awesome. I should’ve been doing this years ago. There are many tutorials on YouTube specifically for this brand, the Henna guys. Are used a lot of those tutorials to approach this. Now, when I am outside and sweating, I know, at least if the henna goes into my skin, it will not cause my body harm. Also, the more I use this, the healthier and stronger my hair feels. to prevent darkening at my ends, I actually applied two times all over my hair, then the third time I only applied it to my roots, this way, I can keep the rest of my hair a little bit lighter There are several lightning techniques. If you have been dying your hair with Henna for a very long time, you can find a lot of those resources on YouTube. This may sound like a very long process, but I’m telling you, it is well well worth it. Wanted to share my experience, hope this was helpful, honestly this color is so beautiful and I get so many compliments, I would suggest it to anyone!

Short review: I'm over the freaking moon about this stuff! I've been coloring my hair for seven years with chemical dyes, and in less then three days this convinced me to never do so again. It really smells, but it works so well that I really cannot be bothered to complain about it. The color is far more intense than you'd expect from some yellow dirt. On color alone I can already say it's better than box dyes, but there are some other advantages as well. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ►Best Pros: »If you miss a spot, you can touch it up without worrying about the mix being bad. »It does a better job of sticking to my hair, and skin than it does the counters. »NO BURN. I am allergic to almost everything, and I had no negative reaction to this. (I'm allergic to scented soaps, metals, and most cosmetic makeups for those looking for specifics.) »Buying it in bulk is significantly cheaper than purchasing chemical hair dye from the store, or online. ►Cons: »Obviously, it smells. »It's clumpy, so you're going to have to take the time to mix it well. »Far more messy, and difficult to apply than regular hair dye. »I actually kind of hope it lightens up some. (I left it on for a little too long, and it's darker than anticipated. This is my fault though.) ►Recommendations: »Check out all the colors before you settle on this one. »Do this on a weekend so skin stains fade before work/school/ect. »Invest in a black washcloth, towel, and pillowcase. »Use tea to scent the water! »READ THE DIRECTIONS. 90% of the bad reviews are from people who are trying to apply this without reading anything. »Use cold water to rise! Red likes to run, and cold water helps to prevent that. (Hot water will make it fade faster!) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ►How it works: »On very blonde hair? Excellently! I was concerned that it wouldn't stick to mine, and it proved me VERY wrong. I haven't even had chemical dyes look this bold before. If you'd like to skip the orange stage, you're welcome to try leaving it in for longer. That seemed to do the trick for me, and then some. »On colored hair? I already had red in the ends of my hair, but it seems to have blended almost seamlessly with my roots. The color is essentially the same, so I'd say as long as it's a lighter shade of red than what they've provided that you're ok. »On eyebrows? I didn't leave it on very long because it was also spread onto my skin, and I was concerned about staining. It colored them in under fifteen minutes. ►Is it hard to wash out? »NO. And anyone that tells you that it was, isn't washing out their normal hair dye enough as it is, or they're not mixing the henna well enough. Mix the clumps, and apply it to your hair as it directs. When you go to wash it out, it should take maybe two minutes at most. Rough your hands carefully through your hair so that the water can get down to your scalp, and it should all come out effortlessly in that time. ►Does your hair feel like straw? »NO BECAUSE I ACTUALLY RINSED IT OUT. If you don't get it all out, of course it's going to feel like straw, you've still got dried powder on your hair. ►About the smell: »Does it stink? Of course it stinks. Take five minutes to look henna up, and you'll understand why. »What does it smell like? All joking aside, it smells like manure, and rotting oranges. (It's pretty awful, but the results made me turn a blind eye to it.) »Can you fight the smell while coloring? YES! Many users suggest using teas to scent the water, and for that I thank them! Mint, and Apple did not work for me, but lavender, a smell I typically despise, did a wonderful job at distracting from it. »Does it still smell after you rinse it out? A little, but it's nothing that you can't combat with body sprays, perfume oils, ect. »What does it smell like after you rinse it out? Sulfur, but I only noticed it when I pressed my nose to my hair. The next morning it was almost unnoticeable even when doing that.

The hair appears so well conditioned, shiny and soft. The henna washes out easily without any bits stuck to the hair. And it covered all grey hairs 100%.

Pigmenta super bien y deja el cabello suave

سئ جدا وله رائحه كريهة جدا جدا

I use this all the time. Turns red after a while, but then I redo it. You have to get the feel for what works for you. Will order when it is finished. Lasts a long time

A nightmare to wash out.. I got the deep red one and it's still flushing out red.. There's only so many times I can rinse HOWEVER I like the colour of gave me. Liked that it didn't smell as bad as some of the other ones I've tried Will be reordering especially since it came before the estimated delivery time
