100% Pure Henna Powder, 100 Gram

I rarely write any reviews but I have to brag on these non-toxic hair coloring product. I have been looking for a very long time for something non-toxic to color my hair. Here is my experience: I have fine and slightly curly (frizzy) hair that is now a natural salt & pepper color (more salt than pepper) and my husband has soft but not as fine hair that is now naturally all salt color.My husband was very skeptical but as a cancer survivor had been urging me to find an alternative to the harsh coloring chemicals that we were previously using.I used myself as the "guinea pig" and did my hair first. To give you some background, I did not color my hair for almost a year and did not use any conditioner when washing my hair for that same period. My hair didn't have any chemical build-up.I purchased the following 3 products from Amazon and used the following recipe:- 50 g Hannah Natural 100% Pure Henna Powder, 100 Gram (Red/Copper Color)- 50 g Hannah Natural 100% Pure Indigo Powder for Hair Dye, 100 Gram (Black Color)- 2 tablespoons Hesh Herbal Amla / Indian Gooseberry Powder For Dark & Healthy Hair Naturally - 100 gms hesg (Conditioner Powder)- Dash of regular table salt (helps to release colors)I mixed these dry ingredients ensuring that there are no lumps.Then I mixed in:- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (makes it much easier to work with and saturates much hair better)- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (also helps to release colors)- Few drops of aroma skin quality essential oil (optional - decreases strong tea-like smell, because I don't like tea or its smell)- Hot water - about 1.5 cups, enough to make cake batter consistency mixture.I used a hand whip from my kitchen to ensure it was properly mixed and lump free.Then I let it sit till it cools down enough so as not to burn my scalp. When cool, I saturated my whole head - actually over-saturated - and worked it into every strand of hair ensuring that every strand had equal coverage.Then I got some paper towels and rolled them into a loose roll to wrap around my neck as a drip catcher. Then I used plastic wrap from my kitchen and wrapped my whole head with it, catching the upper edge of the paper towel roll to keep dripping to a minimum.Then I set my timer for 1.5 hours.I was really excited to rinse my hair and see how it came out. I was absolutely delighted!!! My natural color is dark brown and this new color was slightly more like a dark copper brown color and turned out beautiful. My color looks very natural and suits my skin tones.My first coloring lasted 2 months and then I was starting to see some white peeking through. So, I did it again. I have attached a picture that shows the top of my head about 2 weeks after my second coloring.Now my husband was a different story. He is much more conscious of his "salt" colored hair. He insisted on keeping the store bought colorings going until he could see how my Henna coloring came out. He is also a huge fan of hair conditioner. So, his hair had a great deal of chemical build up.For my husband's first coloring, I used the same recipe that I had used on my own hair. Unfortunately, it turned his hair an orange/red. It was by no means an ugly color just not very natural looking with his skin tone. After some trial and error colors (we did about 3 colorings in one weekend, we came up with the perfect color combination for him).His natural color is an ash brown color. To get close to his natural color that would work for his skin tone, I used the following recipe on his hair and it came out a darker brown with a slight tinge of copper when the light hits it the right way..... looks very healthy and natural..... makes him look very handsome.Here's the final recipe that worked well on my husband25 g Hannah Natural 100% Pure Henna Powder (Red/Copper Color)75 g Hannah Natural 100% Pure Indigo Powder for Hair Dye (Black Color)2 tablespoons Hesh Herbal Amla / Indian Gooseberry Powder For Dark & Healthy Hair Naturally (Conditioner Powder)Dash of regular table salt (helps to release colors)I mixed these dry ingredients ensuring that there are no lumps.Then I mixed in:2 tablespoon Olive Oil (makes it much easier to work with and saturates much hair better)2 tablespoon Lemon Juice (also helps to release colors)Didn't use any aroma essential oil because my husband loves tea and the smell of tea.Hot water - about 1 3/4 cups, enough to make cake batter consistency mixture.I used a hand whip from my kitchen to ensure it was properly mixed and lump free.Again, I let it sit till it cooled down enough to put on his scalp. His scalp was much more sensitive than mine, which mean the mixture was hardly luke-warm. I then over-saturated his whole head and worked it into every strand of hair ensuring that nothing had been missed.Then I wrapped the paper towel around his neck and wrapped his whole head with plastic wrap and set the timer for 3 hours (double the time I needed).At the end of the 3 hours, his hair was amazing.So, please don't discredit these non-toxic products if your first try didn't work like you had hoped. Sometimes, you have to do some trial and error colorings till you are pleased with the results.Additional benefits that we have discovered when using these products are:- the hair fall-out has decreased significantly. We used to have a huge ball of hair on the shower floor drain after each hair washing. That has now decreased to just a few hairs after each washing.- another change is that we no longer use conditioner after shampooing. Our hair is soft and fluffy and easily managed. A little hair spray keeps it in place all day long.- the color also seems to last much longer than the store bought colors we previously used. I always did my husband's colorings and had to ensure that I made time every two weeks to color his hair. Now, I do his coloring's once a month or so.- the price for each coloring has also significantly decreased, leaving me more shopping money.

So I don’t leave a ton of reviews but I figured after 10+ years of using this exact Henna I really should.I’m naturally a strawberry blonde and starting using this vs. box dye for a vibrant red. The results are amazing and has kept my hair so healthy. It lasts 2-3 months for me and I generally leave it in my hair for 2-3 hrs and it works for me :) I feel it looks the best after the 3rd wash and wouldn’t recommend doing it RIGHT before an important event or photos as it is VERY ORANGE and stains your scalp a bit after you first dye it. (I still get tons of compliments tho.) it can be a bit difficult to apply so often I enlist the help of a friend.

I like this henna very much and the price is very good for such a good quality product.I used henna in the past, but this one is FAR BETTER. Why? It's absolutely natural, the texture is fantastic, very thing powder, easy to mix and texture of the mixture very easy to apply.The color is exactly what I wanted, although I'll explain the mix I made because I was after orange/copper tones on my already highlighted hair.Smell is very good, not strong at all, and it leaves my hair feeling really healthy, soft and shinny. Plus the color stays far longer than the chemical dying I've had, specially on the highlights (bleached to apply lighter than my natural color)Thank you so much to the review of "withallmyheart" which helped me to make the right mix. As I have very dry hair, I used apple + orange juice, and the content of a capsule of turmeric powder (later for lighter tones). Mixed it until it looked like guacamole and left it overnight. I applied it and left it on for 2 1/2 hours.I have lots of hair and long, so I wrapped it up with plastic-wrap (the kitchen type). Then washed it normally and... voila' perfect.In the first photo I show one of the bleached highlights (which I kept, to add extra color dimension in my hair) next to another piece bleached+colored with this henna.The next photo shows my natural roots, then the same ones henna-colored in the following one.4th. photo is the look of my first application of the henna, and the 5th is how the color evolves with a second one (not because color faded, but because my roots grew a lot). So I mainly apply it on the roots and some other bunches but not all over.Another advantage is that white hair becomes instant highlights, so no need to bleach anything! so much healthier hair!Absolutely happy and satisfied with this henna. Recommend it totally!!

THE PROS1. My hair color looks great. I get a lot of compliments!2. Super cheap. It takes 1 box to do my shoulder-length hair.3. It's natural4. It covers my greysTHE CONS1. Difficult to apply on your own. The consistency is like mud, and I make a mess. I've been applying it outside, but I'm not sure what I'll do when winter comes.2. It doesn't smell great, but I've taken the advice of other reviewers and add lemon juice and spices to make it smell better.3. The gloves that come in the box are terrible. I recommend buying your own gloves.4. It takes me a couple of days to have the water run clear in the shower, even if I wash my hair multiple times.VERDICT: The pros outweigh the cons. I'm a customer for the foreseeable future!EXTRA TIP: I'm on my 3rd application. On my first application, my hair turned a brassy color, and I did a bunch of research to figure out how to fix it. The answer -- purple shampoo! And it worked!
