Henna (Persian) - Med Brown (Chestnut), 4 oz (pack of 2)

This stuff is great. Here's the thing though if you like to bleach your hair stay away from this because it will fry your hair and turn it a disgusting green color! Also be careful when using henna on already processed hair as the henna can take more or less to certain parts of the hair resulting in a splotchy end result. An no no we no want that.Another thing the protein build up some people experience after using henna can be combated by a clarifying shampoo and then follow with a deep conditioner.Personally I add milk to my henna and a few table spoons of brewered black tea it brings out a muliti dementional hair color that is beautiful in the sunlight. Also adding honey to your henna can give a lightened effect. I also put a plastic Walmart bag around my head after I'm done to keep in the heat and so the henna won't dry out and leave crusty nonsense all over.When using this WEAR GLOVES you do not want to be that weirdo with strange green fingers lol trust me it just looks dirty even though you're only a henna head and I'm sure clean. Please put down old towels or garbage bags this will jack your bathroom all kinds of up. Wear some raggity Ann clothes that sit in the back of your closet and you don't even like at this point, that's their new purpose in life. So suit up and let the henna fly.Last note they are non refundable just so everyone knows. The second time I ordered this I was sent the wrong color, but amazone refunded my money imedietly and I will be reordering because accidents Happen. Amazon has the best customer service they always listen to me and fix whatever I need promptly. :)

Work very well. A bit messy but most hennas are, I am definitely using this from now on! It left me a dark brown shade vs. a read tone I did not want. I love it!!

I had been dying my hair by both boxed dyes and going to the salon and shelling out $100 to try to cover up my grays. A friend told me about Rainbow Henna and how she loves it. I figured, what do I have to lose? I ordered it, and applicator brushes, not realizing how thick the henna paste is. It's not like normal liquid dye where it's runny. In fact, it's pretty thick and can be applied via hand (using a glove of course to keep from staining your hands). I had read the recommendations to leave it in longer than the time listed on the bottle. So, after dinner, I lined my hairline and ears with petroleum jelly (to keep from staining) and had my husband (he's such a trooper) put the dye in my hair. I wrapped it up in a shower cap or dye cap, then I put on one of my wrap around cloth headbands to keep my hair from falling out of the bottom. I initially planned to only leave it in for 3 hours but my grays are stubborn and I decided to sleep with it in. Needless to say, I only made it for about 7 hours before I woke up in the middle of the night and rinsed it out and went back to bed. Maybe it was just me but my scalp was tender the first day when brushing it out, as if I had a sun burn, but by the end of the day it was fine. Even so, the ending result is gorgeous! I went with a color that was true to my natural color and it not only made my hair shiny but it turned those stubborn grays to a gorgeous bronze hue. I got compliments at work about how great my hair looked that day. Just a couple of things I want to point out.You're hair will smell for a few days after application. Because I used coffee with my dye, my head smells like a mix between grass and coffee. Not gag worthy but not the most appealing smell. So definitely don't dye your hair before a date.The mixture I used (because I have short hair)1/2 the container1 c. strong coffee1 Tbsp. olive oil1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar*Update* I've been using this dye for over a year now. My head is no longer tender the next morning when I wash it out.

As a 35 + year cosmetologist retired I can say this is the best hair color that I have used. It's no chemical. I was afraid it wouldn't last or hold color so I left it on for 3 hours. I'm mixed half of the jar of powder of the medium brown two tablespoons of olive oil because my hair is dry and coffee hot to consistency of a Jello that is half done. I did miss some powder in the bottom and added more hot coffee later to get the ends of my hair. That's all I put on it covered with a shower cap and then with a turbie Twist towel, tightly wrapped, 3 hours rinsed for 15 minutes lukewarm water not hot , used Wen shampoo, not irritating, and if you have a horse shampoo don't use it, just use water until your water is clear. Then I blow dried to set the color in and here it is. I love it. It will be deeper the second time. I don't believe I will ever use anything else since I'm a vegan all natural. It smells like dehydrated spinach but that smell will go away. You've come a long way baby! Henna is now great. and one picture before and 2 after pictures. I had dark roots coming in. I had not colored my hair for at least a year or more. and I'm standing right by a light so in darker areas it does look darker. I will wait 6 weeks and do it again. Really easy if you have a baster and have your mixture thick enough to stay on your hair not to be runny. Don't mix it in a runny consistency. Keep it thick with a wiggly Jello consistency, not runny. Basted it on the ends but get all the roots first put the ends on top and go around the sides and back and top with your baster. over the ears As well. Spinach washes right out so you can use your baster for other things. Make sure you soak your baster and wash with Dawn dishwashing liquid. If your mixture is thick enough you will not have a mess and your hair will look beautiful. Really healthy. I also got some argan oil to add on top for more shine. Not here yet.

Doesn't cover grey hair.....
