Henna Hair Color & Conditioner, Dark Brown Hair Dye, 4 Oz

If you're looking for something with the ease of your standard drugstore boxed color, or even the stuff from the beauty supply store, this is not for you. However, this IS a great baby step if you're just looking into using henna on your hair. The product does work well, but it's not particularly convenient, and it smells like frozen peas. That's just part of the henna experience. It's worth it to me not to have to embalm my head in a bunch of crazy chemicals. If you're already a hard-core henna user, this is pretty gritty, nothing like body-art quality henna, but it's a good fix when you're in a pinch. Here's the secret: I don't follow the package directions. I mix up half in advance, and wait for dye release (par for the course) and when it's ready, I mix in the other half with tepid water or lemon juice or cooled coffee, mix both together, and add it to my hair immediately. Sometimes I add ground cloves to make it smell a little nicer, depending on how I feel about my husband that day. ;) Henna takes time to develop. while indigo (which is what turns the red stain of henna black) develops fairly quickly. Boiling water actually makes the indigo less potent, and you don't have to wait for dye release. Anyway: I just put down some newspapers, stick my head over the bathtub, and proceed to make a giant mud pie on my head with this stuff. It's helpful to have a glass (nonreactive) bowl, a spatula that can be stained, some kind of plushy headwrap/headband, and some saran wrap. When My hair has absorbed as much as possible, I use the head band to catch drips, cover the rest of my head with plastic, clean up my hairline, and go to bed, as it is drippy and annoying otherwise. Oh: make sure to put a doubled towel on your pillow! I wake up to nicely colored hair the next morning, tons of volume and shine. Don't freak out if it seems a little redder than expected the first day or two: the color with oxidize, getting darker after that. Yeah, I am kind of a henna nerd, but I figured the additional info might help someone out: cheers!

I've been using this product for years now. I use it every winter to get that warm, natural, darker, shiny look. It does a great job covering sun damage from the summer. It eventually fades away just in time for spring/summer again the next year. I always get compliments on how healthy and shiny my hair looks after using it but that's also because I don't use other chemicals in my hair the rest of the year. No harsh dyes or perms or other chemical treatments. Now for the cons. It can be messy. It can be very very messy. I actually do quit a bit of preperation before hand. I don't really like the hint of red so the night before I brew a pot of coffee and use that instead of water. The directions have different suggestions to get the look you're going for. You can add eggs or yogurt for deep conditioning. I actually add some 'Henna and Placenta' conditioner to the mixture for extra shine. Then I let the mixture sit for a few hours. In the meantime I cut up big plastic trash bags and spread them out all over the bathroom counter and floor. This stuff has a way of getting everywhere and it stains. Especially if your counters are white. Do not use anything metal or you'll end up a red head. Just read the directions thoroughly before you start mixing anything. Very important. I leave mine in for a few hours. I just wrap my head in plastic and put an old towel around that to keep the heat in. If you actually use heat you don't have to leave it in as long. The first few days after your hair may smell like burnt grass. I only rinse the first time and then wait 24 hours before shampooing. I really give the color a chance to soak in. Your hair may feel a bit stiff for a day or two but then your hair will be really soft and shiny after. It's definately worth aaaalllll the hard work.

I really like this product for dying my hair. It is all natural, and the color comes out great. I don't really like the smell, but being all natural makes it worth it. I would use it again and again; I love the product, and this is cheaper on Amazon than in the health stores, just saying.

First I want to say that I have been coloring my hair with Light Mountain Henna over the last 6 months & I have loved it, I have naturally dirty strawberry blonde hair, I've used Light Mountain Henna Dark Brown which has turned out the best with color richness on my hair, & I've used the Bright Red which came out more on the orange side of red than I really care for but still was solid coverage & rich color... However, the Black did nothing for my hair - I can notice maybe a slightly darker in some sections but my roots which are the lightest color in my hair didn't even change color at all! Also, my hair seems more sticky than I have experienced with the other color henna. I'm pretty disappointed - you can't color chemical dye on henna treated hair or it has a tendency to turn green, so if I want dark hair I have to either settle for the dark brown, which is still lighter on my hair, or wait 2 months not coloring & try chemical dye hoping it won't turn green. The upside to letting it grow out, I guess, is atleast with henna it fades allover so there's less of noticible roots vs previously colored hair. If Light Mountain Black is your first experience with henna dye - don't let it discourage you from trying other henna dyes or even other colors from Light Mountain. Henna dye is a different experience than chemical dyes, it takes some practice & extra care but it is great for naturally conditioning & coloring hair & as I mentioned above it's not as drastic with grow out.

It fades over time I bought it just as a hair mask though not really trying to dye my hair but the color does fade when you do dye your hair. I left the henna on for 4 hours and it looked nice initially but after 2 weeks I could see it starting to fade. It works great as a hair mask though.

This is natural hair color, so don't expect miracles. The color will not be as deep or long lasting as regular, permanent hair color. However, you will have no harmful chemicals on your scalp, which is worth it to me. My suggestions: dye your hair FIRST with pure, 100% henna from the same or any other company. This conditions your hair and gives it a "base" upon which to layer color. If you have light or gray hair, your hair will turn orange. Do not be alarmed. After leaving henna on hair for several hours, thoroughly covering hair, wash and THEN AND ONLY THEN apply this black natural dye. It will take quite a long time, so be prepared for this 2-step process. Leave the indigo on for 4 to 6 hours—longer is better. Then your hair will be dark. Keep doing this every month or few months and your color will intensify. Also, you may need to touch up roots if gray is an issue. Overall, natural dye takes time and patience, especially black dye. Also, you cannot later color your hair with regular dye because that might cause a reaction and surprising color results. So if you start natural dye, be prepared to stick with it. For reference, I have naturally dark brown hair that I used to highlight sometimes at high-end salons. I've also used box color to dye my hair jet black. But for the last 5 years I have been doing WEEKLY henna treatments. Every six months or so I will do the 2-step henna-and-indigo process. My hair is shiny, healthy and has a beautiful natural black color. I lose less hair and the 10 gray hairs I have are all colored. My hair grows faster than before and I get a ton of compliments. I've been told that henna will also slow down the graying process. This is all good, but sometimes I have an urge to go lighten my hair or do something crazy. I can't. I would have to let the henna'd hair grow out completely before applying regular dye. Hope this helps!

first and foremost WEAR GLOVES the packaging didn't come with gloves and I stupidly just applied the dye with my hands. now they are stained a dark blue color. since that was my own mistake, this henna gets five stars. the process is very simple, here's what I did to end up with a neutral black or dark brown hair color (my original color was dark brown with light brown roots) - place henna powder in glass container, slowly add around 1 and 1/2 cups of pure black tea - mix with plastic spatula - start applying to hair within 10 min (put tarps on the floor and vaseline on your face, neck, and ears because its so messy) - wait 4 hours after wrapping the hair in plastic, I put a towel overtop of the plastic too rinsing out was not that bad, only took about 10-15 mins. I heard you aren't supposed to shampoo, oil, or condition your hair for 2-3 days after applying henna to let it oxidize. My hair feels thicker, smooth, and not that dry so far. Also many reviews mention a very bad smell of the henna, but I have not noticed anything like that. Me and my mom both agree it smells very faint and earthy. However, there is a strong smell when mixing.

After reading about the dangers of chemical hair dyes and realizing that some of the cancers that are attached to those chemicals have run in my family, I decided to not risk my health when it was unnecessary. I began researching natural alternatives to dying my hair dark and kept running into henna. I was very,very,very apprehensive about using the henna. Since my hair as a tendency to turn bronze with other hair dyes (since it has a naturally red tint) I was terrified that my hair would come out red. I found the light mountain dark brown henna and thought it would be a good time to give it a try. I did a lot of research about using henna and learned a few tricks. I did add coffee and egg to mine to keep the darker tones and for the moisturizing benefits the egg offers. I followed the instructions that came with the box and let it cure for 3 hrs. I did start to do a strand test and just got impatient and went for it anyway. I left the henna on for 3 hours and didn't use heat since I read that could increase the red tones in your hair. My hair came out a beautiful rich brown and feels very soft. I love it! The only negatives about the henna (but they are worth it) are that you are left with the henna smell, it is time consuming if you do it properly, and it takes a bit of work to get out of your hair. I don't think I'll go back to chemical dyes. Trust me, it's worth your time.

طلبت المنتج من البائع OTCRX4U وكان موضح 3 علب وسعرها 171 ريال وتفاجأت أنه لم يرسل الا علبة واحدة فقط... فعليكم الانتباه من هذا البائع.

Great product!!!

I’ve used these over the years and finally sitting down to review. The coverage is my good and long lasting. Hubby hates when I use it as he says I smell like a stable for a good week. Adding scented oils can help lessen the smell but only so much. If you have a sensitive nose be warned it lingers. Otherwise a beautiful and natural color.

Product as such I ordered

Good quality and clean hair dye to use at home, happy with results and would recommend
