Brown Henna Hair Color For All Kit | 100% All Natural Indigo Powder Hair Dye & Beard Dye (Chocolate Dark Brown) Organic, Herbal & Vegan Chemical & Cruelty Free Permanent Gray Coverage & Tinting

This stuff is great. I have very very fine and thin hair thats about chest length. I was really worried because the instructions recommended more that a package for a full head of hair but because my hair is so thin I only needed one. ( Id still recommend getting 2 packs if your hair is past shoulder length and normal thickness, if its past your mid back you may need 3. Try to find the chart of how much you need, its shown on the back of the the package.)I like this pack compared to buying henna and indigo separately because you can choose the color option that already has the perfect ratio of henna and indigo to give the desired color, rather than guessing because too much indigo = black and too much henna = redI was going for brown hair and i bought miraculous medium brown for 15.99. This was a drastic change for me because my hair has been chemically processed (to be blonde) a lot before this. I decided to go brown to I can stop worrying about brassy hair. Blonde hair is a lot of work to take care of and I could never keep it the cool ash shade I wanted without constantly putting in chemicals.The process is messy and smelly and takes a long time but its so worth it. I mixed the powder with half water and half apple cider vinegar and got right to work Covered my entire head and waited 2 hrs.As soon as your done make sure to wipe off everything before it stains. Wash your hands and ears and forehead and neck after if you see any henna on them. IT WILL STAIN YOUR SKIN if you leave it. I didn't wash of my hands and they were green and no matter how much you scrub it wont go, it will also really dry out your hands. Although I used the gloves at first I was having a hard time using them cause they are huge for my hands so near the end I used my bare hands to make sure everything was covered -bad idea. I did this a week ago and there is still a little green in the cracks of my knuckles and my hands are very dry were I left the henna. This was of course my fault and won't happen to you as long as you wash after using it.So many have complained about the smell. I laughed at the people who just add water and complain about the smell, I would like to see their reaction to smelling it when adding vinegar. Granted, its not a smell most would like in their hair, the smell of the powder itself is an earthy muddy planty smell. Adding vinegar will of course make the smell worse but helps a lot because henna works well with pHs around 5. The smell reminds me of matcha tea powder. If the smell is really that terrible add essential oils to make it better.Result:My hair absorbed the color very well, too well actually. It was more of a dark brown, probably because my hair was dry and light to start so it took in the color more. I'm still happy with it because it covered my brassy hair. I'm also happy because my hair actually does look thicker. Some people said it dried out there hair but as long as you condition well after you wash it out it shouldn't be a problem.

I did so much research before trying henna. I was confident in Henna King. I picked Copper to go over my Terra Cotta red (first picture). I did everything exactly as the videos for them said. I didn't add anything extra, either. I don't know if I was a victim of mislabeling as I am seeing in other Amazon reviews or if this isn't a clean henna as they say, but after my journey I am coming back to give a review.1. I originally used a dark deep box red2. upon getting bored with the dark color, I did a bleach bath and fell in love with the ginger look.3. I started using Wella Terra Cotta which was a bit darker than my bleach bath but still had a more natural shade than the previous boxed color.4. I was growing weary of the dulled ends chemicals left behind, so I started looking into henna.5. I thought Henna King would be great to move on to, try and get my shine back, etc.6. I did exactly what the instructions said to, and I should have followed the alarm bells when the instructions said no dye release period was necessary but I did as it said anyway.7. my immediate results were so dark brown with ends and more porous areas BLACK. no joke. good thing it was Halloween time? (pic #2 is 3 days after my attempt to strip it >>) And yes, I did do a clarifying hair treatment prior because water is particularly hard in my area.8. I spent the next 2 days attempting to remove as much dark color as possible with tips on Dr Google. Looking back, I recall green tints coming out in the coconut oil and lemon juice I put my hair through so I do wonder if there was bad indigo in the mix they sent me (should have never contained indigo for COPPER anyway!). I was able to get enough out over the next week to avoid cutting my hair and live with it.9. 2 months later, after finding another henna via Dr Google by typing in "why did my red henna turn black" and that had much more of a cautious approach to their products (no premixed items, lots of wonderful reading on plant details and science of henna and hair and the dangers that lurk in the henna world) I decided to try again. This time just over my hair as is, no lightening first. It was day and night. the color was amazing. I spent months using their products and being part of an online community with real results from real people, even those continuing to do lightening, perming, etc etc things to their hair with no hiccup!10. Well ... I wanted to go back to my more ginger days. I had an ombre thing in mind to keep my dark roots... I attempted to bleach my length at 20 and 30 vol with a temple chunk at 30 vol longer for a fun semi perm color. My hair suddenly became extremely hot and I started to see smoke or something, and I jumped in the shower just 10-15 minutes into the process. Sure, I should have done a test section for longer than 5 minutes, but who is thinking the are bad things in Henna King?? My hair didnt fall out or melt or catch fire, luckily, but I did get a very distinct green cast on my length of hair (now a strange light brownish ginger) and my light streak had so much green in it, you can see braided in the 3rd picture. The parts of my growth that hady new henna company on it bleached fine but the older length with HK? ugh. Luckily I had picked magenta for my fun color so the color wheel told me it should cover the green, but my length?? Henna attaches to the keratin in your hair (learning science things!) so I knew I couldn't just henna over the green.11. I ended up having to use a bottle I had left over from my Terra Cotta days and soak my length in it to cover the green cast. I am sad I cannot lighten the parts of my hair I wanted to but I'm glad I didn't lose my hair. I will just have to wait 2-3 years before my hair grows enough to cut all the HK out and at that time I can consider lightening again. In the mean time I am adjusting my henna to a deeper red dye release and copperverry fruit acid to put (FX!) a bright auburn over my new length color, I cant wait for my AS package to show up and make my length look naturally red again! Hopefully it can cover up some of this mess any way, because I def can't strip the color out knowing there's ugly green under there! But hey, if u want to go magenta with AF's Wrath, it'll cover any residual green nicely (last pic).BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!
