Godrej Nupur HennaMehndi, 14.1 Ounce

I have 4a, natural hair and started using henna at the end of last month. So far, I am definitely a fan! The Nupur brand is reputable and the price is excellent for the amount of product you receive.Personally, I'm using it for conditioning and strengthening, not for color and so far it seems to be working. I was suffering from moderate breakage and after a good trim, wanted to strengthen my hair against future breakage. As far as the color goes, I recently noticed that indeed, there is a reddish tint to my hair in certain light. In spite of this, I will continue to use the henna indefinitely and will correct the reddish tint with indigo every 3-4 months as needed. I want to keep my hair jet black!As I mentioned, there does seem to be less breakage as well as fewer split ends. What I didn't expect was the dramatic reduction in shedding or the change in my curl pattern. I probably get 1/3 of the shedding I used to get! And, even though I knew it could happen, I didn't expect that my curl pattern would actually change. Well, it did. There is a noticeable loosening of my curl pattern, even on shrunken, air-dried hair. So far this is not really a problem, but hopefully the pattern won't continue to loosen with future treatments. As far as rinsing the henna out, yes, it can be time consuming and messy. But, I noticed that if I divide my hair into quadrants, it rinses out MUCH faster!The henna doesn't seem to dry my hair out, however the first treatment left it feeling a little more coarse than usual. A deep, moisturizing conditioner helped with that. The second treatment left my hair feeling soft, strong and fabulous, even before the moisturizing conditioner!To sum it up, the henna strengthens my hair, reduces shedding and increases moisture retention. If you have the patience, a pair of rubber (or latex) gloves, an old shirt and towel, as well as a few free hours on the weekend, I'd say henna is definitely worth a try! I will be using it once a month.

This is my second time using henna hair dye. The last time, with a different henna brand, it was a disaster with a lot of mess made, but almost no color got on my hair.First of all, this hair dye bag is huge as compared with a lot other similar henna products. I have mid-length hair and 20% of grey. The bag size should be enough for 3-4 times.Second, this hair dye doesn’t have as many as requirements as the other one I used, such as clean and dry your hair before applying the dye, mixing it with coffee or Apple cider, using sulfate free shampoo etc.. I still followed those tips this time, but the outcome is much better.I mixed the hair dye with water and juice from half a lemon the night before, mixed it a couple of times before sitting it overnight. Make sure the mixture isn’t too thick or thin. It should look like the Greek yogurt in texture. The next morning, I added two droppers of rosemary oil to it and mixed it again. At this stage, the mixture should look very consistent with no obvious frites. Wearing dark top with low neckline, better covering your shoulder with a hair cape and gloves before applying the mix to your hair. I used a hair dye applicator to put the “mud” on my hair. After applying even on my hair, I covered my hair with a 5 gallon clean trash bag, then wrapped a warm towel around my head, then covered them with a reusable shower cap. The warm towel need to be reheated with tap warm water a couple of times during color development. The warm temperature helped with shortening the time.After 2 hours, I removed everything wrapping around my hair, and rinse all the herbs off with lukewarm water many time until the water stay clear. I also applied a good amount of sulfate free conditioner and left it on my hair for 3 minutes. The conditioner smoothed my hair out a lot. After towel drying my hair, I can tell this hair dye worked really well. It changed my grey hair to the beautiful brown red color. The coverage of my grey hair is very satisfying. I definitely will use again if the color is lasting at least few weeks.

Love healthy, shiny, long auburn hair? This is totally for you then. My current natural hair color ranges from dish water blonde to silvery white. I've been using this hennamix well over three years. My hair's gone from shoulder length down to my waist and that's with cutting off about four inches over the same time period. You know those crazy commercials where the woman's hair is so glossy ya think it isn't real, well it could be.There are only two drawbacks, one it's dark auburn even the areas that may look orange darken in a couple of days. Two, what kind of time commitment you think hair like this is worth. Yes, you do have to leave it on for four hours. But then again how long does it take and how much does it cost and what kind of damage do you get from a Brazilian blow out? The results are similar minus the damage with the added plus of a very natural looking red. I've encountered very few split ends and oh yeah I look for them. I used to be OCD about splits, I'm not kidding.

I mixed the whole bag in a metal bowl as instructed, then placed saran wrap over the top and let it sit overnight. I moistened my hair (not sopping wet), used what I needed, then put saran wrap over the left overs in the bowl until I had time to deal with it. A couple of days later I separated about a "serving's" worth into freezer bags and now when I'm ready I can thaw a single one out. This made my hair incredibly soft (along with some Redken conditioner) and turned my brown hair into a much deeper hue of brown with reddish shades. It's not as red as I would have liked, but my hair isn't as damaged as when I was using henna a decade ago so I'm sure it didn't take in the color as much. I would definitely buy this again, but the bag was large enough that I won't need to for a long while.

Quality wise and price wise is very good. Pure heena.I will buy it again.
