RAINBOW RESEARCH Dark Brown Henna - 4 oz.

I have naturally black hair, which is turning gray. I went for the black henna; but a friend convinced me to try medium brown. I am so glad I did- It looks a lot more natural! I cannot imagine covering my gray hair with anything but this product. I apply it once a month and it’s like getting a deep conditioner treatment. My hair is stronger, softer, and has more shine.

So far has lasted 2 weeks without needing to be touched up. It promises 4-6 weeks so we'll see. My hair does grow quickly, so at some point I expect to see some roots, but if I can get 3-4 weeks out of it I'll be very pleased.

My hair is naturally dark brown. Since I started having gray hairs in roots five years ago, this is them product I settled in with. I have a bad allergy, so my skin cannot handle the regular hair dye.Even with all natural henna, you still need to use the same precautions just like other chemical dyes. Try a bit on your skin so you don’t have reactions. Make sure you wear gloves. I leave the henna on longer than a few hours. After a few years of hits and misses, I leave it on for 6-8 hours(over night).You will be tempted to put so many ingredients, but the less you add other stuff, the better the result was.No yogurt, honey, oil, apple cider vinegar for me, but warm water or hot coffee.It leaves the hair shiny for a few days and covers all the grays in my hair.It sure smells pretty strong for a few days, I like it better than other chemical dye smells.I repeat the process every 5-6 weeks.

I am a redhead who is now 20% grayI have used henna before and it turned the gray bright orange. I chose this brand hoping a medium brown would cover the gray and not be orange. I followed the directions mixing the henna with coffee, olive oil and apple cider vinegar. I’m very happy with the results. I only did my roots and it blends so nicely with my hair. It is NOT orange in the least!!I have used Madison reed and the gray coverage only lasts about two weeks, fading visibly with every wash. Henna lasts for months except for outgrowth touch ups … it’s natural, lasts way longer and is much cheaper. You just need to find your shadeThis brand is far superior than others with ease of mixing and processing time. This brand gives you more options for colors and improves the end results.I highly recommend!!

After 8 months of using this product I came to realize it was the cause of my burning scalp and hair loss, most likely the result of an allergy. After years of straight henna which only produces a bright red I decided I wanted a lighter color so I chose this product after reading the reviews. I did not put together for 8 months that my scalp burning and hair loss might be from this product. I tried everything to get it to stop but when I put 2 and 2 together and realized the burning and loss were only in the front where I had been using this to cover grays I knew I found the culprit. After 1 month of no use my scalp went back to normal a d hair loss stopped. Previously I had been using it about once a month. I highly recommend if you notice your scalp burning or hair fall is heavy you stop using this. I wish I figured it out sooner but I'm glad I did before I wound up bald in the front. I lost so much hair I had to stop cutting my bangs because of how thin my hair got. This might work for some but if your suspicious stop using it. I went back to pure red henna and I'm fine now, no burning. Hopefully my hair will start to grow back, but I'm glad it stopped falling out. I know rge company says it's all natural, no this or that but I'm skeptical. I have used pure lawsone and pure indigo and never had a problem and supposedly that was all that was in this medium chestnut mix but I am really doubting it.

This brand and color is exactly the same as my natural color, it's amazing! No hard dye lines. I only have a little bit of white hair, so the other chemical salon color roots products were overkill, bland, and severely damaging to my hair and scalp. Inversely, Henna is wonderful because it works with your real hair color, adding color and diversity to your strands, based on their own natural color, giving an overall natural healthy shiny look. As the hair grows out, there is no noticeable hard line, and it blends so nicely. This henna looks very natural and lasts way longer than chemicals for doing roots. With this, I can go 4-5 weeks without coloring and look fine. With chemicals, I had to redo roots every 2 weeks because the dramatic hard line looked awful. Henna fades a bit, which is good for the natural look. With henna powders, I add a few things. I use 1 spoon of instant coffee mixed in with the hot water and henna powder. I add cinnamon for smell and a spoon of fresh squeezed lime juice for potency and action. I let this brand mix sit for one hour sealed, then put it on my roots for one hour, then I leave it in my hair for 3-4 hours. Rinse out, no shampoo, using a tiny bit of conditioner at the ends to detangle and comb. Do not wash or rinse for two days and sleep with a black towel on your pillow. (A bit itchy and dusty, but worth the longer last!) Then resume shampoo and conditioner about twice a week. Henna hair products can be a bit dirty and crumbly, so there can be extra clean up needs during the process and for those first few days. This two pack lasts me 4-5 months; I do a half jar for roots once a month.

It seems good but the price is on the higher side if its locally grown and not imported from India.

Luv the softeness of the actual powder, and the handy container. Will purchase again!
