Light MountainNatural Hair Color & Conditioner, Mahogany, 4 oz (113 g) (Pack of 3)

This henna is amazing! If I could give 10 stars I would! I tried so many different henna in the last 10 years and I need to say WOW, this one is amazing! I love the texture and the color!I will keep buying it!

I have been colouring my hair for 13 years, and I've done it all - permanent chemical dyes, bleaching, florescent manic panic, and hennas. Henna is a wonderful alternative for those who do no want to damage their hair and scalp with the harsh chemicals found in grocery store kits and salon dyes.It may be quicker and easier to use a chemical dye, but if you do it repeatedly - years later your hair really will begin to thin out. Henna is a little more work during the process, but unlike chemical dyes which strip your hair of its natural oils, it conditions your hair while dying. You'll find your hair is thicker and healthier in appearance, and you wont have that awful, sinking feeling of "What have I done?!!" that you can experience in the shower after a chemical dye, as you're watching half of your hair washing down the drain.If you want the intense bleach-white colour needed for special fx or manic panic colours, unless you're already blonde, henna just will not cut it. You really will have to bleach your hair. If, however, you're looking for a deep natural colour or an intense red or burgundy, henna will be a wonderful choice.Have a friend over to help you, because yes, it gets messy. My friend and I have found that pouring the warm mixture into a gallon size ziploc and cutting off one corner (like icing a cake, almost) is a good method of application. Wear gloves (as with any dye), go slowly and wipe excess off the skin around the hairline. For really intense colour, many people put saran wrap over the dye and then a bandanna or towel over that, and sleep on it. There are also tricks you can use to push the colour in a certain direction - we added paprika to the red henna (perhaps too much) and WOW! More red than she'd expected, but tons of complements and the shine was remarkable, especially considering we applied it to her not-so-shiny dreadlocks.13 years later, after starting out dying my hair as a pre-teen who had not a single care for whether the chemicals were damaging or not, I still (thank goodness) have a head of hair. It does show signs of damage from all the years of abuse though (thinner strands, and not as thick of a head of hair all-around). I am still addicted to changing my haircolour though, so I'm grateful that henna is a healthy option. Take the extra time and care to use this product and you can rest well knowing that you're NOT causing harm to your future beauty!

If I had more money (to pay a professional), I'd never use this ever again. It stinks like the devil (like seaweed and kale punching you in the face) and the texture is like mud. But this is the second time I've bought it and the results are inarguably great. Both colors I tried turned out just how I wanted them to look. With this one, it did darken my brown hair a bit, great in my opinion, and most importantly it covered the old gross brassy tones left in my hair from the last chemical dye job I paid for. When you buy this, you will also need: distilled water, plastic mixing spoon, plastic bowl (use disposable Tupperware, did I mention this stuff is nasty!?) you can not use any metal, thus plastic everything. Also, recommends adding vinegar and I'd get apple cider vinegar so you aren't killing yourself with more stink. This time I mixed in 3-4 tbs of the apple cider vinegar, let it cure for a little over 2 hours, let it set on my head for about 35 min, and blasted it with the blow dryer three or four times very briefly while I waited. My hair is kinky, coarse, and very thick, FYI. Then rinsed & washed three times in a 24 hour period to try and get rid of the smell. And it's not just me, my boyfriend was a sport but he had to keep his nose turned away that whole 24 hours after dying. So, I love the result but hate the product. Can't beat the price or the healthy dye job. Pic attached of my color. Sorry about the bed head.

Natural non toxic plant based color enhancer. And yes, it colors the grey. It acts more like a stain rather than a dye so is much more natural looking. No obnoxious odor, just smells like fresh cut hay!

I've used Light Mountain's henna for almost 2 years and I love it. I mix dark brown, mahogany and red and my hair is beautiful, shiny and strong.It is a process (1 hour to activate it and 4 hours on my hair) and I use it once a month (because I have white hair at my temples and roots. My hair is by my shoulder blades and I use 1 1/2 cups of powder which thickly covers all of it. I wrap my head in a shower cap and then a towel and leave it on for 4 hours. I then rinse my hair thoroughly and leave it to dry. I don't wash it again for another 24 hours so that the color sets.It does have a very distinct smell (I've never come across good henna that doesn't), but it fades within a few days and after a few washes. I use a henna based shampoo to maintain the color. Even though I use heat on my hair (blowdry and curling iron) and hairspray, my hair only gets a maintenance cut every 2 months because it's so nourished by the henna.I constantly get comments on how beautiful my hair is and I tell everyone about this product that helps make it so.
