Rainbow ResearchHenna Hair Color and Conditioner, Dark Brown, 4 Ounce

i have this clump of grey that really bugged me, so i tried the henna just on this one clump. it doesn’t magically dye the grey hair to dark brown/black like the rest of my hair, but it definitely made the greys blend in better with the rest of my hair. it also conditioned my hair nicely which was a nice bonus. :)for what it is—a natural product, cheap, and diy friendly—it works really well. definitely worth a try as an alternative to harsh chemical products.

If you have mostly gray, you might have to either get a much darker shade or be ok with copper hair instead of brown. That being said, as someone with roughly 25% gray, this is a great alternative to permanent dye. While it doesn't actually cover my gray, it blends them really well so it looks like natural highlights instead. The chestnut brown gives grays a deep copper hue, rather than brown. On hair that is still pigmented, the henna is very conditioning and adds a lovely richness. Made my neutral brown hair look very warm. The conditioning effect lasts through quite a few washes. Downside is that it can be difficult to saturate all hair, and if you have a lot of hair, expect to be making more than a couple batches. Great natural alternative to dyes!

I ordered this product and when I received it, the lid was open and henna was all over my whole order. It did not have a inside seal at all. I have ordered this several times before and they have all had an inner seal before. I had less than half the henna in the container. I should be able to get reimbursed for it.

I have been using Rainbow Henna for years and it works great on my hair. It doesn't dry it out and leaves a nice reddish tint to my hair. I can't use regular chemical dyes, because of allergic reactions and I rather just forego toxic chemicals being added directly into my bloodstream. So, this is the reason I chose Rainbow Henna. If you follow the directions and look online for further ways to enhance the usage of Henna, then this will make your hair look shiny and full of color. If you don't follow the instructions, then you may have differing results. Be forewarned that this is messy and to use gloves, plus put some sort of balm around your hairline and face, as to not leave stains on your skin.

I used this to touch up my roots next to my face. I mixed a little bit with water and a small amount of vinegar and olive oil to a thick paste, covered my head with a shower cap and a towel. I warmed it up with a hair dryer and left it on for 3 hours. It matched well with the rest of my hair which is dyed medium golden brown.

I bought this because, after having had chemically dyed hair for over a year in red, I was ready to return to a color closer to my original (which is a Chestnut type color). Its been over 6 months now since I last dyed my hair and I chose Henna because I'm allergic to hair dye and didn't want to spend two days on Benadryl again.I thought I had followed the directions perfectly - but I think they were confusing. I was under the impression that adding tea would give my hair a browner color as I had been warned it could be more reddish, so I substituted black tea for water, added 2 T. of sweet almond oil and left it on my medium length hair for an hour. It was DARK. Very dark. While I succeeded in making it brown, in the end it stripped all the red from it completely, leaving a lack-luster, brownish brassy color which was about 2-3 shades darker than my normal hair color. I think maybe if I'd done it without any additives it might have been the color on the box, but then again I'm not sure as afterwards I learned that the indigo may potentially darken *further* as it oxidizes.Currently, I am currently trying to lighten it back to at least a medium brown and exploring whether I can tint it with red henna to bring back some color to it (like a dark auburn or something). The image is after following the instructions to strip with dish soap, using a mixture of coconut/olive oil, washing with BS and rinsing with ACV. It did let some of my highlights through after that and lost the brassy/green tinge. Hopefully that means the indigo won’t darken further, but I guess I’ll see.Those with more experience with Henna than me may be able to tell if adding the black tea would really have made it so different from the intended color but, as for myself, I can only say that it was NOT chestnut.

I bought this before knowing it this would work on my beard. After scanning the qr code, the very last item the product stated is along the lines of "no for beards". I tried it anyway, 2tbs of product, 1tsp of coconut oil, .5tsp apple cider vinegar & "red” canned coffee at double strength (not instant). Mix until similar to yogurt. I applied with my fingers, yes my hands were lightly stained for a cpl days. Yet after 4-5hrs of application I sprayed it off & the white & gray areas were no longer. I did apply another application a cpl days later as my beard is darker. Perfect match. Would buy brand again. I did apply coconut oil to my beard after each application.I would have uploaded pics of before & after, which I have, yet Amazon like every other company wants full data access & I'm just not about that-

I use Med brown and really like it. No staining or running off. Have been very happy with it. And don't need to do as often as it says.
