Godrej Nupur HennaMehndi, 14.1 Ounce

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.

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.

I use it once a week, for colouring I add some coffee powder with it. For only condition I add raw egg with it. It helps my hair so much feels silky and shiny

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

Love love Henna. This is the third brand I’ve tried and although I really haven’t had any complaints about any of them I have to say there are definitely some extra great things about this one. Huge bag for great price and all the extra ingredients good for your hair. Contains jaramansi to prevent graying hair - score! And lots of other great things in it. It was ground together well (powdery) and Smelled kind of like tea. Pleasant I would say.I mixed mine with some avacado oil, coconut oil, and calamansi (Filipino lime). That was just my substitute for lemon because we had it in the house and I figured why not. The great thing about Henna is you can add what you want. So for people who have never used henna- it’s not like buying a box of chemical hair dye. It takes more time and care but I feel it covers grays longer and makes my hair more healthy so it’s worth it to me.I make my mix with warm water and whatever else I want, apply immediately, and throw on a plastic hair net from the dollar store and leave on as long as I can. I also use plastic gloves from the dollar store. (This bag comes as is with no gloves).The longer the better because henna is good for your hair. I sleep in mine (with hair net on and towel on my pillow) and shower when I wake. So at least 7 hours on my head. Another option is letting the mix sit in the bowl for 2-3 hours and then leave in your hair 3-4 hours per the bag instructions.Now when You wash this stuff out don’t get in a big rush or you will pull some hair out. It’s kind of like working out mud. Rinse with warm water. Squeeze and work hands gently DO NOT try to get all the tangles out right away. Once you feel you’ve rinsed it best you can, Then I highly recommend using a conditioning hair mask. The kind you put on in the shower for 2-5 minutes before rinsing out. Then I feel like when you rinse the second time your hair will be more manageable. I also add a leave in conditioner when I get out of the shower and that’s when I begin to work out my tangles. I find hair right after henna is a little more stiff and dry feeling but that goes away more and more each time you shower. If it’s still too strange and you just can’t stand it go ahead and shampoo. It won’t completely remove it but it might speed up the process of your hair feeling more normal. The more you stay away from shampoo though the longer the henna will last so if you can stand to just stick with conditioner try it. I’d say my hair feels normal after second or third shower.I get lots of compliments with henna. My hair feels healthy and shiny. I tried to switch back to box dye for convenience but grays showed more rapidly and color faded fast, it was irritating. So now I’m back to henna. Luckily I didn’t have any weird colors happening from switching back and forth. I’m naturally brunette hair with Gray roots - the gray hairs turn out lighter than the rest of my hair and more copper colored while the rest is more a perfect red/brown that looks even more red in the sun
