Hi, I'd love to know whether this product comes with henna or would I have to buy that separately? If separate what products would you recommend?

It does not come with HennaI ordered Impressions Natural 100% Herbal Henna and it worked wonderfully. They come in 1lb bags and it's the best deal I've seen. Plus, you can use the henna to do tattoos, as well.

Hello. You have to purchase the henna separately. I recommend Jamila BAQ henna. I hope this helps. : )

You will have to buy it separately, there are several links to tell you how to mix henna and indigo to achieve your desired color. The indigo doesn't work with out the henna; the body art quality (BAQ) is the best; I would use the Jamila brand, also available at Amazon. If you order from Herbal Beauty Supply you may qualify for free shipping. Hope this help.

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.

There are instructions that come with henna but I applied it after washed hair & towel dried. The henna will dry if it's warm but that's okk, juss keep applying ☺

It's pure henna powder. I'm concerned about that too when I'm shopping as I use it to color my hair. This stuff is fine. I did not have any issues with it.

I have read in the past, that it will give a blue tint, or a variety of hues without the Henna, or in variable degrees or amounts of henna, depending on your hair color. I've never used indigo without the addition of Henna. A great resource for a variety of answers can be found on youtube. I hope this was of some help.

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!

My hair was extremely damaged when I started using the henna dye. Honestly, I think it will be true to the color.. my hair is just incapable of holding the color. When I used it, it came out a reddish brown but not orange at all. I'm still working on getting healthier hair to see if it gives me more vibrant results, but it wasn't near as bright as I expected.

Yes, the one I got was 100% lawsonia inermis which is the henna plant. I continue ordering it because of this.

Dear Bunny, (Love your name!) yes, you can mix any colors together; as long as both of the colors are henna. Another product is called Hennalucient. Good Luck,

Be careful that you're not allergic to this - its henna based. I used it once every 2 months.

I have long blonde/light brown and have never used henna. But, this definitely worked immediately for brassiness from highlights. It also made my hair feel healthier, which surprised me.

My hair is thin and very straight. For me the henna coats the hair making it look thicker. I imagine if I ever had body in my hair it might weigh it down.

No the product does not come with instructions. the color is determined by your natural hair color. For instance, my hair is 90% gray so this product turns my hair red. If you have dark brown or black hair the henna will give you auburn highlights. For more detailed information, check out curlynikki.com. She has detailed information about henna on her website.

I don't use shampoo... not a big fan of it, I only use conditioner to get it out. Henna hair color will take 2 to 3 days to oxidize and reach its final color, I don't know if immediate shampooing will affect that but not being a shampoo fan I prefer not to take the risk. Also, check out sites like The Long Hair Community, they have a huge forum with Tons of info regarding henna and hair all based on personal experiences

I would imaging that you can use tis indigo separate as with other brand indigo. I use it separate for the darker brown to black color. For me it's 3 hours henna and one hour indigo. I mix salt with my indigo mix for a richer darker color. I've also use the indigo in the light blue box. Compare the prices!

It depends on how light your hair is. BUT, pretty much as soon as you put it in it will start to color your hair....Your best bet would be to look up what to mix with this henna to make it more your natural color. There are tea's, coffee, even other powers that will help keep some of the red down :) hope this helps!

I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black. The colors are misrepresented. There is too much indigo powder in the browns and your hair will be black and there is no way to remove it. I tried Prell, Head and Shoulders shampoo, which are very harsh and usually strip color from hair. I applied 100% pure henna 3 days apart for 4 hours each time and finally noticed a tiny reddish tone. Customer service rep told me the colored packets like light brown and medium brown which I also ordered should never be used over henna hair and it was my mistake. They advised me to go to a salon or wait for it to grow out; hardly solutions to the problem. I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black.
