I heard that once you use the henna to color your hair, you can tuse regular boxed dyes over it, that it will ruin your hair. Is that the case?

This particular brand does not use any metallic salts in their henna blend, so you should be able to color over it as long as the mix you buy does not contain indigo. I should warn you, however, henna DOES NOT bleach out, so you'll only be able to go darker after you use it.

I did. I went to the Salon first. My hair was bleached and then dyed a mocha. The bleach did not lift much of the henna at that point I was asked what red I used for my hair. My dresser was dissapointed that I didn't let her know I used henna as she said it was impossible to remove. I hated the brassy color I was left with came home and dyed my hair an ashy color and the toned and dyed again. My hair has broken in areas. I made a mess of my hair. If you used henna color I highly recommended you do not dye over it. If you get tired of it let it grow out!

The box says ( in Spanish) that it's meant for hair, but it is pure henna powder so I think in theory you could also use it on your skin. I accidentally got some on my wrists when applying and it stained it orange. If I had left it on longer it probably would've gotten darker. Look up the different techniques for doing it at home and don't use any Henna that claims to be black henna for tattoos. That has PPD and will cause scarring and is very bad. There are other temporary tattoo things for sale on Amazon. You could check those out as an alternative.

I don't see why not. The color may come out differently then what you are wanting. I would go into a salon and let them know you have been using henna and want to color your hair with something else. Is that what you were asking?

Hi, in our experience, you should have no problem using a chemical color after using our henna. Our products are 100% natural with no chemicals or metallic salts. It seems products in the past contained these which is why people still suggest you cannot go back to chemicals.

I don't see why not. It's pure henna. I had some on my skin and was able to wash it off, but I washed it off pretty quick. I think it would stain if you let it dry on your skin.

It would be possible but also troublesome. Using just this product will give you an orange-red shade so you would have to use indigo after. This would require testing to see how long you would have to leave on the henna and then the indigo to get the shade you desire.

This is pure henna powder and it is a much larger quantity than what is sold in beauty supply stores. Yes, you should use gloves because, just as henna stains your hair it will also stain your skin. The brush is optional. Use it if you think it's helpful. I just use my gloved hands.

Yes you can put henna on top of dark black hair. I have black hair and I use this once a month. Your hair will not turn red though. It will just strengthen your hair a whole lot. If your hair is light black you may see some amber shine in the light. Henna isn't a "hair dye" it is a natural plant and it bonds to the keritain in your hair staining it. So it's not actually stripping off your color so if your hair is blonde you will see the red. If your hair is dark you may not see it but it is still well worth it. My hair is past my butt because of how strong it makes your hair. Which before henna I was lucky to get past my shoulders because of split ends.

I have natural strawberry blond in the summer. This does nothing for me except make my hair flat - and I think the henna makes it darker and takes out the red, which is what henna is often used for. I just don't think it works, but reviews dramatically vary.

Hi Crystal, being that henna is a natural product, it won't lighten your hair but you will still pick up a lot of those deep red highlights using the Wine Red. It might actually be close to that purple look you are wanting just because your hair is already a little darker than the Wine Red is by itself.

Yes u can, whatever color your getting (If your hair was colored blonde) the color will really pop & you'll be able 2 see it clearly. If not, is won't lift it tht much. Henna is juss a stain/dye, a color on top of color. But the color brightens after a few days once it oxidizes.

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 use natural henna (very red) and indigo on my hair. I go back a couple of days later and use this product to "lift" the color for subtle highlights. I get a lot of complements and people are usually shocked when I tell them my process because it looks so natural. I can't tell you how it would work for natural red hair. Try a sample hidden area first.

The only way to do that would to use indigo coloring, you can't use regular hair dye it won't take unless you use oops hair color removal first. I've tried dying over henna with regular black box hair dye and it just washed right out.

I have a bit of gray. I used Henna for the first time and it covered everything beautifully. I'm a complete convert now. I have pretreated hair, years of dyeing. I'm not sure how well the Henna would grab a hold of untreated hair but for me, it's maintained it's color wonderfully. Can't recommend enough.

My roots didn't respond well to the henna. Gray turned a bit orangey. I loved the conditioning the henna gave to my hair, however, I'd have to maybe get tips on how to get better coloring for my gray

I have no experience with this brand of henna, so not quite sure why Amazon asked if I could answer this question...lol...but my hair is a very dark brown, almost black, and when I use henna my hair never turned a noticeable orange or red color...I could see it, but it toned down after the color oxidized. It still looks dark brown. So, if this brand turned your hair red, and not auburn, I would have to wonder what dyes are being used along with the henna in this mixture. Henna only dyes orange, not red. What you could do is try amla. Amla is used if I remember correctly to cool down the orange in henna, giving a cool brown, as in a not warm brown. Indigo with henna is usually used for a blue-black type shade. But since I'm worried that this isn't pure henna since it gave you a red, maybe you could buy both indigo and amla and test with some hair from your brush or comb and see if there's any odd color reactions before doing your whole head. Or maybe check out some of the darker shades this company offers and do the same with your shed hairs.
