LIGHT MOUNTAINHenna Hair Color & Conditioner - Auburn Hair Dye for Men/Women, Organic Henna Leaf Powder and Botanicals, Chemical-Free, Semi-Permanent Hair Color, 4 Oz (Pack of 3)

reliable, great results if you can deal with a ritual of preparing the mixture, applying it, waiting, cleaning and washing afterwards. takes the whole evening, but the results are great, and the environmental impact is small. the color is perfect for me.

The media could not be loaded.  High level take away: I would highly recommend this product to those wanting a deep chocolate brown, rich glossy color without the use of a plastic bottle filled with chemicals. This beats Lush's henna out of the water, no competition. Time and patience is a virtue with henna. Yes the process takes 4hours, but you're coloring your hair with plants! Mother Nature takes time :)My process: I boil water to make a concentrated black tea using 8-10 bags of black tea with 12oz. water, steep for 10 min. Which the tea is still hot I strain the bags, and slowly add to my henna powder in a rubber mixing bowl with a silicone spatula. I don't recommend adding egg, yogurt or essential oils because it messes with the consistency of the henna 'mud'. I section my hair using elastic hairbands and using rubber gloves I apply the 'mud' from back to front, root to tip making sure my whole head is saturated. I have thick hair below my shoulders and usually require a whole bag if not 1 1/4th bag of henna to cover all. I cover the henna on my head with an old long sleeved shirt and carefully do chores/ work indoors during the 4hours required for this process. I then rinse in the bathtub- this is extremely messy and if care is not taken you will get a swamp in your tub. Lastly I apply a biotin hair mask to my hair for 20 min and rinse until the water is clear. Do not shampoo your hair for at least 48hours while the henna is developing. Washing before can result in the color not fully treating and prematurely rinsing out.I repeat this coloring process every 7-8 weeks once my dark blonde roots and grays start to peek though.General cons of using henna, for anyone new to the henna process: if you plan on chemically coloring your hair or want the option to quickly change your color, henna is not for you. Brown henna = applying indigo + henna to your hair which have blue/ yellow and orange tones, and any type of chemical color is more likely to not take effect or come out with unpredictable outcomes if you apply on henna colored hair. The more applications of henna result in more layers of the coating to the hair cuticle making it harder to penetrate with bleach and color.Enjoy!

Okay- where to start with this product! I bought this because I refuse to use anything other than an organic product to dye my hair. If you are looking into this product I am sure you are already aware of the chemicals in regular hair dyes. Is this easy to use like other chemical non-organic hair dye? Absolutely not!!! I followed the directions and made sure to not use any metal that would contaminate the color outcome. My hair came out looking exactly as I wanted it to. I have medium brown hair with quite a few greys. This darkened my hair and covered most of the grey hair. It didn't cover all of it, but I think that was more my fault in not spreading it on all my hair appropriately. So yes the product works great, and I will continue to use it. However, lets address the MAJOR ISSUES!! First off, the smell. It smells like manure, spinach and very old pot. It is horrible! The smell did not go away for several days too. So, that's kinda gross. I have read other reviewers talk about adding spices and teas (instead of just plain water.) I plan on trying anything and everything next time to see if I can reduce or eliminate the smell. Secondly, you must be prepared for an epic mess. This is either too runny or too goopy. Finding the right texture to get it on your hair to spread evenly and it remain on your hair will take some experience! I have also read of other people using thickeners. I didn't try that and I might next time. I used a bowl and my hands (with about 10 pairs of plastic gloves.) I was in no way prepared for the mess that this created! My suggestion, is a tarp is a must, a helper would be excellent, and a few tools could be beneficial. I had no shirt on and no tarp and I got this stuff everywhere! I screamed for my husband to help clean up the mess about 10 times so that it wouldn't stain my counters or floors. It did stain my bra- but that doesn't bother me too much. Without his help, it would have been really bad! So for my next encounter I plan on having an old shirt on along with a hairdresser cape, a tarp draped everywhere that this stuff could possibly get, a hair dye bottle, combs, and hair dye brushes. I am hoping next time to tame the mess. I had separated my hair in about 10 sections and did each section and put my hair back in mini buns using all plastic clips. Then I put on a shower cap. The separated hair and shower cap worked last time and I will do the same next time. Thankfully the product didn't stain my skin on my face and what got on my neck came off pretty well. (Okay maybe not the well, but that's because this product bled for the first week. Again, I'm going to try something different next time. Normally I use organic shampoo and vinegar for conditioner. This product might require non-organic products to try to remove it. I think I might try a different product to try and get this stuff out of my hair! Every time I washed my hair it bled blue and dyed my neck blue. Not a true problem for me since I wore my hair down every day and never pulled it up (at least in public.) But it would be nice to not have a neck stain! The product at least did not get on my clothes, pillowcases, etc, so no true harm done. So why use this product? Well there isn't much to choose from in the realm of organic hair dye. I won't use chemical hair dye so it is either have grey hair or use this product. I am 31 and feeling kinda vain about the grey hair issue. So for me it is worth the hassle, but as I said I have plans for the next round and hopefully I will report back with more success. I used it about a month and a half ago and it still looks fantastic. So I don't expect to have to redo my hair for another month or so. Should you try this product? That is entirely up to you. This was my experience- good luck!!!

Used as intended. Effects exactly as expected. Very good instructions on how to use.
