Get a condiment bottle from the dollar store (like an empty mustard etc bottle), cut the tip off so it’s a wider hole to apply, and use this to apply henna vs brushing it on. I promise it’s easier and probably less messy than brushing it on. ❤
I’ve wasted TWO BOXES of this very dye and it did NOT WORK. The first one didn’t work, so I rinsed it out after 2 hours and made another box. It does NOT CHANGE COLOR AT ALL. No skin staining, NOTHING. So no amount of following the instructions PRECISELY did anything. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS FAKE HAIR DYE. So much for trying to do it the “natural” way. 🙄 you rinse out GREEN leafy smelling crap out of your hair and watch your money go down the drain.
Don’t Easter your money. Does NOT work. I bought 12 boxes and the first one did NOTHING. Opened up another box, again, NOTHING. No skin staining, no change at all in hair color. Hair feels softer to the touch but that’s IT. This does NOTHING. Fake product.
For those with a thick head of hair- smather the living crap out of your roots. I thought my head was coated really well, but I have patches where it’s obvious that I didn’t coat it with henna. 🤦♀️ Lol
former redhead. genetics turned my shit cardboard brown bc she's petty!! i bought the same box. i did some research and deviated from the box instructions. microwaved distilled water to warm. mixed with henna. added a squeezed lemon. mixed it, flattened the top of bowl with plastic wrap. waited over night. saw the red dye bleeding from the powder. it turned a pretty brown. my finger tip turned orange, so i know it 'worked' so far. Gently stirred it from its brown color to a green color. shampood and dried my hair. Did my patch test for 4 hours. Added the 10 minute heat. Did my whole head. It turned out very red. Think Estella wig from Cruella, but redder. Excited to see it oxidized in 2 days. I should've gone light red, I was hoping mine would be orange like yours! But im happy nonetheless:)
I've done 3 applications of Henna so far. Do you notice that when applying the henna to your strands, especially in bigger chunks/sections of hair that there is a lot of shed? Is this just normal for the process or a way to minimize this from happening? I have fairly thin hair already, hoping henna overtime will help my hair to grow and thicken but I'm a little off guard by the shed during the applying process and upon rinsing. Thanks! Your color is absolutely beautiful.
Is this product fragrance free? I have severe anaphylactic reactions to anything with a scent/fragrance. And if so do you know of any Henna products that don’t have a smell to them? Please & thank you!! :)
I know I’m late, henna is very very much permanent. You only apply it to the roots while it’s growing because if you put henna on henna it’ll just darken.
Dang this looks exceptionally good. I am saving this video. What color of this did you buy? I am a natural redhead and I love this shade, but will probably buy light red. You look fabulous with this.
Right, when she said that I was confused, and also about doing a strand test for an allergic reaction since it's not black henna and should only have a few ingredients in it.....
How do you recommend me to do it? Or more like prepare it. I already have my roots reddish due to me using box but my ends are brown. They’re not the same color. Would that be an issue and also how would you prepare it? Without lemon? I want a more darker red like cooper but not burgundy
I have a question. I used Lush rouge on my hair that had faded from strawberry blonde to sandy blonde with light highlights on top. All natural. Lush pretty much looked great underneath, but on top my hair was a bright almost neon orange. It was still in this "orange panic mode" after 2 weeks. I knew every application it would get darker, so I tried Light Mountain Natural red. It's way better than neon orange, but again, underneath looks better, on top is more orangey. It's a darker orange than the first time I did henna, which is better. I'm thinking that although I'm a natural redhead, maybe going red with henna is not for me. Maybe I should've dyed my hair medium brown first. Maybe I should've mixed brown and red. I don't know. Honestly, I got a beautiful vibrant color that matches the pictures I saw online, and even the fox on the box. What do you think will happen if I use LMN medium brown. Will it cover it totally? I guess I should just go for it. It took me over 2 years of researching to finally take the henna plunge. It's nice to have vibrant color. Perhaps if I use medium brown, then later I can go over it with red if I really, really want it to be tinted red.
I use medium brown dye on my hair before henna on it. (Or else I get crazy orange hair) Every so often I strip my hair, if henna gets too dark after a long time applying it. Then I use brown and then a few days later I use light mountain red henna. (Only one I personally trust, because I can strip my hair without worrying about melting my hair. No metallic salts, etc. in it.) 😄
My water has iron really bad. Like clothes and dishes turn orange. Well this do something weird to the henna? I've had it for months, but am afraid of any chemical reactions.
Most of the people on you tube who are explaining how to use henna recommend using distilled water to mix it. I can buy it at our local Dollar General Store. It doesn't cost much.
I think it would be good for grey hair but everyone's hair is different. If you are curious then try a strand test that you can hide and see what it does. I don't think there's much to lose with that approach. Good luck!
I usually use a whole box when I do all of my hair. When I'm just doing my roots, I use about half a box. However, I have VERY thick/long hair so this will be different for different lengths and textures. I hope this helps. Good luck!
