200 Grams - 100% Pure Henna Powder For Hair Dye - Red Henna Hair Color, Best Red Henna For Hair - The Henna Guys

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 bought the henna together with Indigo, after reading around that I would need both to achieve the color of my dark brown hair. I primarily needed both to cover my gray, but since this was my first time using Henna, I did an all-over application just to see how it came up. I mixed all 200g gram of them, and with my chin length hair, I had a lot of leftover. Note to self: next time use 1/2 a packet instead. Luckily you can freeze leftover henna in the freezer so I ziplocked the leftover henna mix and stuffed it in the freezer. The good news is, since the leftover is already mixed, I don't have to wait for the dye to release next time. Anyway, so I mixed the henna with fresh squeezed lime juice and water. The lime juice provides the acidity that henna needs to release its dye (so I've read). You can probably use bottle lime juice, I happened to have some limes in the fridge so I used those instead. I made a mistake of making the mix too runny - like a thin yogurt consistency - and didn't realize the mistake until later. After mixing the henna in a bowl, I covered it with saran wrap and left it on my bathroom counter for almost 24 hours to allow the dye to release. When I opened the bowl 24 hrs later, I could see the reddish dye floating around in the surface, which I quickly mixed in. Then I started applying the mix to my hair, starting from the back to the front. You will need gloves and 2 old towels, one to wipe and the other to cover your hair with later. Once my hair was fully covered with henna, I covered it with saran wrap and then put my shower cap on top. Remember what I said about mixing it too runny? This is the part where things go tricky. Originally, I planned to sleep with the henna on my hair overnight, as has been suggested by many people I read online. But, because I mixed it too thinly, the henna dripped like crazy: at first it was dripping every 5 minutes or so, then as time progressed, I literally had to wipe the drips from my hair continuously every 2-3 seconds or so. I didn't dare go near my bed as I didn't want my bedroom to have henna drips all over. Finally, after wiping non-stop for maybe 70 minutes or so, I decided I had enough. I threw away the saran wrap and jumped into the shower to rinse my hair. I rinsed it first with just warm water, then used conditioner to get rid of the gunk and grits. Then the moment of truth, standing in front of a mirror, I could see a hint of beautiful deep red burgundy highlights on my darker hair, but brash orange on my gray hair, right on top where the hair parted. Yikes!! I knew the chance of this happening was kinda big, given that white hair (my gray is definitely white, not gray) absorbs whatever color you put on them much easily than healthy hair. But it was still a shock to see such orange hair on me. Luckily, I anticipated such happening, that's why I bought Indigo together with Henna, and boy am I glad I did, as I needed that Indigo to correct the orange color from henna. You can read my review on Indigo separately. Bottom line, if you're Asian with dark hair like me, or simply have a lot of white / gray hair to cover, definitely use Henna AND Indigo, either mix them together as a 1-step application, or separately as a 2-step application. I used mine as a 2-step application because I wanted to see how it came out individually. Next time I'll try the 1-step application for experiment. Henna does not lighten my hair, instead, on my healthy hair with natural dark brown color, it gives a nice deep red burgundy coating that is only visible under sun shine. Very subtle and pretty. Also, now that I know that leaving it on for only 70 minutes or so was enough to let the henna color my hair, I don't know if I would leave it on overnight as many have suggested. I think it'll depend on whether I get the mix right. Next time, I would mix it thicker, like mashed potato rather than yogurt consistency. I mixed my indigo on the thick side and it didn't drip at all. One last thing, I read on another review that her hair kept leaking orange days after rinsing. Mine didn't. I washed it very thoroughly, until the water ran clear, and then some more for good measure. I used my old towel to dry my hair immediately after that, then waited for 48 hours before washing it again. On the first wash after that 48 hours, I used my regular towel and didn't see any color leaking on the bathroom floor or the towel. Henna and Indigo are the only two I'll use to cover my gray from now on.

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%.

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
