Zenia 100 grams Pure Henna Powder For Hair Dye Hair Color

I've been using this product every few months for 2 years now. It is the first henna purchase I used on my hair hoping to achieve a natural red colour without harsh chemicals, and I'm extremely happy with it. I apply it onto my auburn/red colour. If my salt & pepper roots are showing it covers all well and evenly. I also add 1/4 cup lemon juice to the mixture to lighten the outcome a bit. I think it may also give one lighter red or gold highlights. It does for me. Be careful not to use too much unless a light orange, even yellow colour is your goal. I have thinner long naturally curly hair so use 2 packets each colouring. At first my mixture was very thick, so I found it harder to apply and have slowly added more warm water to achieve the desired consistency. When researching henna use for colouring hair, at first I thought I was to leave on 6 hours or overnight but after looking into it further I find that 3 hours is fine, at least for myself. Though henna gives my hair a renewed soft healthy look & feel, following the treatment I use a good amount of conditioner after rinsing as henna will dry hair out and mine is already dry enough. I also don't shampoo for a couple days hoping the colour will last longer.

My hair originally was a light brown and took to the Henna really well. While the instructions said I would need at least 400 grams for waist-length hair, I found 300 grams of Henna was more than enough. I let it rest on my hair for four hours and didn't do a second rinse until 48 hours later. So far, my hair has kept the color, even though it has toned down since the very first few days. Here are photos of me one day after and a week later for comparison (and one just of my original hair). I have been dying my hair red on and off for several years, but this definitely gave me the best results.

I've been using this henna for about 5 months. I have lots of gray and this henna covers it better than any professional or box dye I've ever used, it doesn't damage my hair and doesn't cause irritation. Chemical dyes kept my hair damaged and breaking but I was so insecure about my gray I would use them anyway. Since I've been using henna my hair is being restored to it's natural healthy state, however, it can be very drying so I do a reconstructive mask treatment afterwards followed by hydrating conditioner in combo with sitting under my steamer. I love the auburnish hue it gives my hair. This is officially my go to for color. I let it develop for 3 hours and then let it sit on my hair for 3 hours to process. Letting it develop too long (6 hours max), letting it sit too long on your hair (5 hours max), not using clarifying shampoo before applying and not using distilled water can actually hinder the results- when I made these mistakes it didn't cover my gray as well. Many people say not to wash afterwards but I do my whole wash day routine after rinsing and it doesn't affect my gray coverage or the richness of the color.

Absolutely gorgeous hair without any chemicals or allergic reactions! This stuff is amazing. It not only covers the greys but NEVER fades or washes out. You just have to do the root touch-ups, and that's it. It's a different shade for everyone and makes it that much cooler. My neighbor uses it too, and her hair is almost black, whereas mine is more like a deep red, and Rachel Maksy's hair is fire red. To use: I put half the package into a glass dish and mix with raspberry tea until goopy. It's ok if it has chunks as they will disappear. Then I leave it overnight. In the morning, I use gloves to goop it all over my hair. Then I cover it in plastic wrap and a plastic bag for 3.5 hours. Then I rinse it out and hop in the shower like normal. Lots of people say not to wash it with shampoo or conditioner, but I've never had an issue with it. I do touch-ups in my roots about once a month because the grey REALLY stands out against the red as it grows in. But you can wait as long as you want to. Each hair growth is different.

This review is for Zenia Pure Natural Henna Powder. The product arrived undamaged and in a timely manner. I purchased this for my wife who's been using henna for the past few years. Her favorite brand was from Pakistan, which is no longer available in the US, so we've been buying henna wherever we could find it. This henna is in a very fine powder, which is a good thing. Other hennas we have purchased have been coarse and are generally not pleasant to apply nor easy to wash off the clumps from my wife's hair. The color is the most unnatural looking deepest red of any she has used over the years. Just for kicks she used some of it for tattoo designs on the back of her hand. Two weeks later the tattoo has not washed off yet. This, and the color, is a sure sign that the product has chemical dyes in it. Note that best quality organic henna, when used on skin, will completely wash off in three to four days of normal hand washing/showering. Our search continues.
