400 Grams - 100% Pure Henna Powder For Hair Dye - Red Henna Hair Color, Best Red Henna For Hair - The Henna Guys

The quality and results of henna are truly remarkable. I am particularly fond of the deep copper red hue that it imparts to the hair. Unlike conventional hair dyes that can cause significant damage, henna offers a natural alternative that is gentle on the hair. I have personally experienced the benefits of henna and have become an ardent user.It is important to note that henna can be messy. However, this can be easily managed by keeping the hair flipped over in the bathtub during the application process.For optimal results, I suggest letting the henna sit (in the bowl after mixing) for four to six hours. Thorough application is crucial, ensuring the roots are covered first, as it becomes more challenging once the ends are bunched together. To preserve the henna's efficacy, I recommend placing it in a plastic bag and covering it with a beanie to retain heat and prevent drying. In my case, I left the henna on for three hours before rinsing with cool water. I also applied henna to my eyebrows simultaneously.I purchased a 300-gram pouch of pure henna. I mixed approximately 60-70 grams (suitable for collarbone-length hair) with two tablespoons of Brahmi powder (for added moisture), two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and sufficient freshly brewed black tea to achieve a yogurt-like consistency. The mixture was then covered with plastic bag and a hand towel to maintain moisture.

I've been using this brand for about 6 years now. Always consistent and always great color. Love the product.1. You don't date henna you MARRY it. Be prepared to be a redhead until the color grows out of your hair. That's aplus #1 for we natural redheads who aren't ready to go white or want to enhance our own natural color. Plus #2 is that it's doesn't fade like boxed dyes. Henna red stays henna red unless you go out in the sun alot and then it sun bleaches just like your natural color. Gorgeous.2. This is NOT hard. It's intimidating until you try it, but it's not hard. Don't feel that you have to add tons of other things to your mix. Filtered water and a little raw honey is all you need. Mix until it's the consistency of yogurt, not mud. You want a product that will apply easily, stick but not run off your head. Add a little at a time until you get that consistency.3. Make your mix and then let the mixture sit, covered, for about 8-12 hours. That should give you a good dye release. I've heard that using hot water will give a faster dye release but I don't have experience with that. I use room temperature water.4. Use a hair dye brush to apply the dye and section your hair if you can. This technique works especially well if you are just doing a root touch up. Plus #3 you only have to dye your roots to keep your lovely color. Enjoy that red for the next few years depending on how short your hair is and how fast it grows because henna doesn't fade or wash out. I've gone as long as 3 years before I did my whole head again and that was because of the sun lightening my hair so much. Note: if you don't have help and can't section your hair, then squishing it in all over will suffice. Just try to make sure you have all your roots or roots and length well covered.5. Keep a misting bottle handy. Henna works best if it stays moist. If you have a lot of thick, long hair you may appreciate that misting bottle.6. Plastic film wrap. Mist one last time and wrap your head well with the wrap. Then I cover that with a plastic shower cap. The product that dries will flake off onto anything around you. Another reason to keep it moist.7. I leave my henna on for at least 2 hours. I prefer to leave it for 3. I do NOT sleep in it as it will just dry out and if the cap slips it will be all over your bed.8. If your henna stinks then something is wrong. Maybe what you mixed it with, apple cider vinegar makes it smell horrible. Henna and water should smell very similar to fresh hay. Not offensive, not overpowering.9. You can add Amla powder if you have curly hair and I DO advise that. Henna can relax curl for some people. It did for me. Amla brought it back and is a wonderful conditioner. 3 parts henna to 1 part amla is all you need.10. Rinse well. The water should look greenish brown. Rinse twice or three times. Then liberally apply a good natural conditioner and 'condition' wash your hair. Let your hair soak it up and set for a few minutes before a final rinse. My hair is always super nice after I do my Henna/Amla application and will stay that way for up to 5 days after.11. If you are using pure henna, which is what Henna Guys sell, then you will have a lovely coppery red that will oxidize just a bit darker. If you want a darker red reapply the same way in a few days. Henna on top of henna goes darker.Good luck, have fun and enjoy your Henna Guys gorgeous ginger hair.

Very good product, have been using this brand henna for dye hair almost 10 years, excellent result.

Love the color. If you are a first time user like I am and if your hair isn't thick don't follow the package on the amount needed for the length. I made that mistake and had a ton left over. I have mid back length hair and it says to use the whole package well I only needed less than half the package. So I ended up wasting a bunch of product I could've used for later dye sessions. Lesson learned.

I've been using henna to dye my hair for a decade. I normally use Frontier Organics, but when I found that they were out of stock, I came upon The Henna Guys. Y'all, this is AMAZING. It's milled to the consistency of powdered sugar which means ZERO grit!!! I'm not certain why the directions say to leave on for 3 hours, as I have never done this with any hennas that I've used. 30 minutes and rinse. It's that easy. 10/10 - would recommend.
