L&I Apothecary Organic Natural RED Henna Hair Dye - USDA Certified Organic, All Natural Plant-based, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free Hair Color for Natural Hair Conditioning

I've included a before photo to show my stubborn white roots that pop up within days after I would dye my hair! You may know that pain! If you're like me and don't want to place toxic chemicals on your roots every 4-6 weeks but NOT ready to go gray, this is the next best option! My natural color is medium brown and I've been an auburn/redhead by choice for years, salon color and at home box color, yep I've done it. I am just so tired of the dreaded regrowth every 4 weeks and if you haven't researched the hazards of the chemicals in the salon and box hair dyes you should, they are highly toxic and I'm done with it. So this was my first experience with Henna - easier than I thought it would be. I read other reviews about how to mix it thicker so it doesn't drip. I used peppermint essential oil mixed in too, which made it smell good and my scalp tingle. I did also use apple cider vinegar as the package recommends this for gray hair coverage. BUT the second time around I didn't add anything to it! The powder is ground very fine and once it's applied to your hair within a few minutes it thickens and hardens. It's not dripping wet for those 3 hours while it bakes. I didn't even use a cap because I find the elastic really annoying! I want my colored hair to look as natural as possible, I have highlights (salon) and several applications of overtone leave in conditioners in reddish tones. This henna blended right in! I left it on for 3-4 hours as it clearly states the longer its on your hair the darker your color will be. This color is a nice copper color that is more natural looking. Once it was ready I love the fact that all my new growth white/gray hair was now a light red and the darker hair was just darker red, honestly it looks like all natural red highlights! NO white or gray hair was left! I also love the fact that I can now cover any new white hair growth as often as I want, I just mix the powder with warm water, let it sit (overnight) and then I can use it as I need. I don't have to worry about the chemicals and the risks they impose so using it as often as I want is a huge win for me. I don't care that I have to leave it on for 3 hours! *Just remember to use vaseline around your face and neck and be careful when applying as this will stain everything! I will possibly mix the next round with coffee or tea to see if it changes the color.

Love. Leaves my hair soft and vibrant while still looking realistically red.

After using several brands of Henna hair dye, I consider this one to be my favorite. I have ordered the natural red and it is very noticeable. It gives my hair the color tone I had been looking for without causing damages, if compared to chemical hair dyes. My hair is mid back and I use the full bag for one application, so I recommend getting two bags if you have very long hair. It is also important to follow the instructions, like letting it sit for eight plus hours after mixing it. I highly recommend this product.

Love this product!! I have used it for years and Im a loyal customer. They didnt have the 2 pack available this last time.

Great color and won't damage your hair

I thought I will have a red color from the first but not

This product is gentle on your hair without any chemicals. It creates striking appearance. I definitely would recommend it to my friends and family.

I’ve used many henna hair dye products for many years. This was the least effective that I have ever used.
