This product contains henna. Does it change the color of the hair?

Hi Sandra,My color remained the same dark brown throughout my duration of usage of this oil.

The scented of it was overwhelming, I mean awful to me. So, I gave it to my sister and she loves it. She never mentioned it coloring her hair though.

No if you have dark brown hair you have to get your hair lightened first at least 2shades. Then the color can take to your hair strands. I have thick dark brown hair as well. Henna will not color hair, like the stuff you get at the drug store. Henna is a dye. But if you have brown hair think of it like using colored paint on a brown canvas it's not going to come out red. If you start with a white canvas you'll get the vibrant color.

No, it will make it more blonde. It gives you natrual tones. Be CAREFUL on how much you use it can easily damage hair

No. I would use manic panic instead. Henna is a long process and rarely turns out to be the color on the box.

not at all. it doesn't change the color of your hair. Mine is naturally blonde and dark blonde in the back and underneath. the shampoo just makes it shinier and takes out all the yellow out of the hair. I love it. the only thing that would change the color of your hair is dye. this is not a dye. your hair will not be purple, just blonde as it is. the shampoo is purple but don't fret over it. I have been using it for over a year now. no purple hair. just nice blonde hair. I used this when I dyed my hair as well. helped the color.

It does if you leave it on 2 to 3 hours and prep your hair first, also I have used either coffee or black tea to mix with the henna instead of water. You prep your hair by making a paste out of baking soda & water, the ratio is approximately 1/2 baking soda and a little less than 1/2 water. After washing your hair, towel dry then apply this paste especially at the roots and where your gray hair is, leave this on for 10 minutes and rinse your hair until it no longer feels grainy. This is a natural way to open the hair cuticle a little so it takes the color better. Dry your hair, now apply the henna and cover your hair with a plastic bag & leave it on for as long as you can. I've also added about 15 minutes of heat toward the end either a hot towel or heat cap. It works great and really conditioned my hair while looking natural with high & low lights and lasts quite a while.

There are neutral colorourless henna conditioners made by Surya Henna, Rainbow Henna, and Light Mountain henna (my favorite). You can leave those for hours and not color your hair. But if you buy NATURAL (red) henna, you WILL tint at the very least, but more than likely you'll get red hair (unless your hair is very dark). If your hair IS dark brown or black, you can use this henna and only get a slight tint. Leave on for an hour and you'll be good. BUT if you have light or medium brown hair, it WILL color. So try the neutral henna, it's the same conditioning results without the red.

The inside of the box says henna for hair. But I think it's body art quality because I read online that is best one for hair aswell. It's dark green tho.

As I know, you can not dye your hair with chemical hair color for a hair you have dyed with henna. It is not because of safety. The reason is, your hair won't get that color. The problem with henna is, you won't be able to use chemical hair color over it. It is a permanent color. You may want to wait until your hair grow and use the chemical color for the hair you've not dyed with henna. Hope this helps.

I don't know why.. but this did not work on my henna (my henna was metal free as well). it looked like it worked for a few days but after I washed it for the first time after doing this process, it was back to the henna color.

Pure henna - Lawsonia Inermis - doesn't come in different shades. Because henna releases only one pigment (red!), it cannot lighten your hair and if your natural color is almost black, henna certainly isn't going to give you the same shade on the package. If this DOES happen, you're not using pure henna. And there's nothing wrong with that, if that's what you choose. I just don't want people to make a decision based on bad info. The eventual shade will depend on three things: your natural hair color, the liquid you use to mix your paste, and how long you leave it on your hair. Adding cassia will lighten the eventual shade, and adding indigo will darken your hair. Google is your friend, and it's best to get an idea of how it works and what it can and can't do before you commit. Good luck in your Henna Journey!

Yes. It gave me really beautiful burgundy color, but the secret is that you need to stay with the henna as long as you can. I stayed with the henna for 14 hours/ on the weekend/ and got amazing results.

Yes it does, zap the volume from your hair. Henna is protein so it straightens your hair over time and over use, you will loose the curl. No way to get around that unless you just do your roots. Its the by product of healthy hair but... at least you won't be sporting the fraggle rock fro... I have curly hair and it has tamed it quite a bit no more fly aways for me.

my hair is naturally light brown, and when I used the henna for the first time it did give me the deep red that I wanted. I would recommend for you to leave it as long as you can, the longer you keep it on the deeper the red is. The longest I've left it on is 3 hrs and it was a nice deep red, maybe the color you want. good luck!

Absolutely! I have. As long as you're absolutely positive it had no additives.(metals)..if it was from henna maiden yes. If your still scared. Try it or on hair from your hair brush. Fyi though it might come out orange depending on what color...green if you died it with black henna

I don't think it does. From what I been told it is gentle and the reviews I seen says that it does not strip your color. My friend uses it on her hair and it is colored and it does just fine. Other than that I love this product

When my hair was dark, it only vaguely added a reddish tint to it that did not last long. It was only when I had lightened my hair that the henna made my hair red.
