Henne Color Hair Colour Cream Dark Mahogany 90ml

I am in love! I had been using Loreal Prodigy 'Vermillion' for a few years and could no longer find it anywhere. This was actually for the best-since that dye is for dark hair, it lightens as well as colours. My hair had become dry and straw-like and no conditioner or mask made an iota of difference. The dyes I found were either much too red or generally unnatural looking. I experimented with mixing Directions dye, but it had no effect on my roots, just the lightened bits, so I was stuck. I decided to try Henna, but was put off by the effort involved, so was pleased to find this liquid version. The dye was easy to apply (we had just opened our third bottle of wine when I remembered that I was meant to be dyeing my hair, so if a drunk can do it...!) and it's great that it can be applied to wet hair as I find this much easier to work through more evenly. This meant that I could stay in the shower to apply it, which saved my flooring and walls. The consistency was spot on, although it started running ever so slightly just before rinse time, but that's probably because I squeezed rather than towel dried my hair. The dye smelled gorgeous and there was a good amount-I have thick hair, almost to my waist and used 1.5 bottles, so there's enough left to do my roots or anywhere I might have missed in my merry state! (Unscrew the lid, rather than snip it so you can save it). I woke this morning to the softest, shiniest hair I have had in years, and it smells amazing! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a before pic, but the previous dye had faded to a brassy orangey colour on the light bits :/ and my dark brown roots were coming through. This auburn dye has evened it out and I actually prefer the shade on my natural colour (I had been worrying that I'd need to lighten then dye my hair from now on to get my desired colour). I have one or two white hairs in my side shave, and they've come out the most gorgeous colour-flashes of an electric 'midnight orange' amongst the darker shade. I think this will come out as great natural looking highlights when I grow my natural colour back in. I love it so much, I've already gone for 'subscribe and save'. If the colour alters over the next 48hrs, I'll try to remember to provide pic updates.

Ich kann nicht meckern: Die Farbe ist bereit zum Auftragen, wenn man sie aus der Verpackung nimmt. Schön war, dass auch eine Haube (und Einmalhandschuhe) dabei war. Juckt nicht, reizt die Kopfhaut nicht während und nach der Anwendung. Mein Haar schimmert jetzt in einem dezenten Rotbraun (oder Braunrot...?), vorher hatte ich ein eher dunkles Braun. Die Farbe sieht jedenfalls sehr natürlich aus. Ich habe sie ca. eine Stunde einwirken lassen. (Auf der Verpackung steht: ca. 40 Minuten.) Henna strapaziert und schädigt aber das Haar nicht, es ist nicht aggressiv - da kann man meiner Meinung auch etwas länger einwirken lassen. Zum Duft lässt sich sagen, dass er recht unaufdringlich war. Viele jammern immer über Heugeruch, ich hatte damit kein Problem. War auch nicht stark, und irgendwann hat es gar nicht mehr gerochen. Vielleicht habe ich mich aber auch nur sehr schnell daran gewöhnt. Unterschiedliche Geschmäcker eben. :) Empfehle es ganz klar, wobei ich zum Ausprobieren auch noch andere Hennahersteller testen möchte. Kommt aber erst später. Für Anfänger - wie ich es bin - sehr, sehr praktisch!

Bon résultats obtenus.

Die Farbe ist relativ hell und muss, um einen weicheren Ton zu bekommen, mit dem Braunton von Henne Color gemischt werden. Sie sollte auch mindestens 1 Std. einwirken, um die volle Farbintensität zu erreichen. Sie hält aber sehr gut, deckt graue Haare gut ab und lässt sich nicht so leicht auswaschen!

I have used box dye for 15 years. The last time was 3 weeks ago. I love this stuff!! As suggested I used a clarifying shampoo to remove product build up then let my hair air dry to just damp. The henna went on easily, I used one bottle for thick shoulder length hair. After I had done my roots , the bottle was difficult to squeeze so I took the lid off completely and dumped the rest all over my lengths. It didn’t run and covered well. I put the plastic hat on and it stayed on well as it seems to stick to the hair. I left it on for an hour and then rinsed it clean with lukewarm water ( never hot) and conditioned with a sulphate free conditioner ( I used OGX found in most supermarkets). Very important not to use sulphites with henna - they strip the colour. Then I cold rinsed. ( Also important to seal in the henna.) pat dry with towel and air dry. The heat from styling tools will remove the colour so air dried again. All in all very simple. Smelt better than the powder and went on better too. So pleased with my colour and silky hair. Would recommend to anyone.
