1 Pack Of Burgundy Henna Hair & Beard Color/Dye 100 Grams - Natural Hair Color, Plant-based Hair Dye - The Henna Guys

Amazing, rich color that lasts. I've received so many compliments and folks are surprised that it's henna! I've found mixing with coffee brings out more brown and adding a small amount of apple cider vinegar really helps cover greys. It also makes my hair shine and reduces frizz. It does have a funky odor because its all natural, but really not enough to put me off. Definitely recommend

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.

Absolutely loved it! Just tried the wine red color on my gray hair. Love texture of this henna. It so smooth. Love the color, love the coverage. I mixed this henna with just boiled really hot water and immediately put it on just washed and wet hair. Covered it with the plastic cap provided in a package and a scarf. Let it work for 3 hours. Result is amazing. I attached a photo of it. I used the whole package for mid back length hair. P.S. May be next time I'll try to mix this henna with some warm water first and then add hot water in order to get better texture. Mine had some tiny lumps in it, like you'll get in a starchy mixture if you mix it with hot water. But it worked perfectly anyway.

I have been using henna on my hair for the last three to four years for covering grays and for the deep conditioning/strengthening benefits that henna provides. I probably give my hair a henna treatment every month and a half to two months. Over the years, I have tried a couple of brands that I like but one of my staple brands is Henna Guys (which I reorder often). I like this brand because it is high quality, finely sifted (no twigs or other coarse debris), and has great dye release. I also like this brand because it offers a variety of shades besides the traditional orange/red. I typically use the light brown or auburn varieties, depending on my mood. My hair is very dark brown/almost black so other than the beautiful color it adds to my gray strands, the color shows mostly as subtle highlights in the sun. There are many brands of henna on the market which offer a variety of color choices but I have found that a lot of the brands that offer an array of colors add metallic salts and other harmful additives to their henna in order to make this plant-based product achieve the various colors. This brand has a simple list of natural ingredients; I have listed the ingredients below for the two colors that I use most often: Ingredients (Medium Brown): henna powder, indigo powder, emblica, eclipta Ingredients (Auburn): henna powder, indigo powder, hibiscus I really like the fact that there are no harmful additives in this product. The color deposits beautifully and is permanent (although I do have to touch up my roots as my hair grows). Because henna is a natural, product, you can either apply it to the roots of your hair as it grows or reapply it to the entire length of your hair (which will strengthen your hair strands and result in the enhancement of the color from previously applied henna treatments). I can get at least two applications per packet if I am just touching up my roots. If I apply henna to the length of my mid-back length, thick, curly, hair I probably use an entire packet (although admittedly, I am heavy-handed with hair treatment products.) If you are experienced with henna, I recommend that you give Henna Guys a try not only for the reasons stated above, but also because this brand allows for much variation in the application process and will work well in a number of application scenarios. For instance, at various times I: 1) have added only plain water to the mix and the dye still released. (I typically use an acidic liquid such as lemon juice or apple cider vinegar when mixing henna, but plain water has worked for me in a pinch.); 2) have added oils such as olive or avocado to the mix prior to the dye release stage as well as after the dye has released before applying the henna to my hair and saw no difference in the results; 3) have used this brand of henna on wet, freshly washed and clarified hair, and also on dry hair that was in need of a wash, both with similar positive results. The only things that remain the same each time I apply henna is the length of time in which I allow the henna mix to sit so that the dye releases (typically overnight) and the amount of time that I Ieave the henna mixture on my hair after I apply it (between 3-4 hours using a heat cap). Other than that, no matter how I have chosen to mix and apply this brand, the color always turns out well. If you are new to henna I encourage you to do your research before using henna because (among other things) even though henna is natural product it bonds with your hair to provide permanent color and may interact with any commercial color you may have on your hair. After doing your research, if you decide that henna is right for you I would definitely recommend this brand.

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%.
