I have light brown hair and would like to dye it a rich, dark red. Should I buy the deep red henna or the burgundy henna?

burgundy! the deep red doesn't deposit fully and deeply until about three applications. Looks orange at first. The burgundy deposits crimson at first and deepens into a richer color with lots of natural highlights throughout on my prematurely graying hair.

You'll definitely want to buy the deep red. It'll definitely show up the red you want.

I would go with the deep red. I say this working under the assumption that the burgundy would have more of a purplish undertone. I get a rich red using the deep red, however, my hair is darker than yours. You can strand test to gauge the depth of the shade.

I use Indigo. I don't like the brassy orange so now I'm toning it down with the Indigo. Then, use 3 - 4 times the Indigo as the Henna. Hope this helps.

If you want to use the pearl blond, my advice would be don't do it!! The pearl blond actually comes out purple! So if I was trying to enhance my hair color with your hair I would go with a red or a burgundy.

In my experience, use lemon juice instead of h20, let it sit for several hours to let the dye release, apply to entire head, wrap in Saran Wrap, leave on for at least 8 hours, rinse well. Do not shampoo for a few days. To achieve the deep color, you will apply more frequently. Once you attain the color you want, then you maintain the roots with the same application process, while glazing the rest of your hair with a henna/conditioner mix left on for a shorter period. Be advised that henna looks bright reddish orange for the first few days and the mellows into a richer color in time. About a week after I henna, when the color has oxidized to the depth I like, I deep condition w/organic cold pressed coconut oil, wrap w/Saran Wrap, and leave in for as long as possible, at least overnight. Soften hairs, and seems to seal in that depth longer. With burgundy you will need to apply more than once to achieve that depth. It's a beautiful color that greatly changes based on lighting. If you have never hennaed before, research it well. Good luck.

I have a darker brown hair that has a reddish tint to it naturally and my hair turned out beautifully. It is a dark reddish brown with dark red highlights. Mine did turn out about the color on the package. since your hair is lighter it should be a lighter result. They do have a variety of colors including different reds. Hope I helped somewhat.

No, It wont dye dark brown hair as deep red and if you continue using it like 2 times a month after 3-4 applications should get Dark/Blackish Red, Henna based hair dyes will color your gray/blonde hair to the color purchased. but if you can lighten your hair color somehow to brunette, it can surely get you deep red as in the picture.

All natural henna deposits a red/copper color on your hair. The henna from the Rajasthan area is known to produce a deep red color compared to other hennas, from the Mid-east and Africa that produce a copper red color.

The longer you leave the dye in the richer the red you'll get. I have almost brown hair and so my results are much darker. The lighter you are the color seems to stand out more vibrantly in my opinion. Especially with hi-lights. The color will bleed for a good week but will eventually slow down. Try to use some lavender oil to make the smell a little better. The more you dye your hair the richer the color you get. I've actually mixed different henna reds and get radical results. Its up to you tho. I've been using henna for a year and it never ever fades. I will always use it.It also helps to get a good deep conditioner to make your hair easier to brush through. Just remember to rinse hair thoroughly, as long as possible henna is hard to get out and makes your scalp itch. I also buy my own gloves, the ones that come in the package suck, their too big and cheap. Best of luck .

I have dark brown hair to and I always buy the black because brown is for people with straight up brown hair you'd be unhappy with your purchase if you did brown, there would be a big difference between your hair and the brown. Onless your hair more of a brown.

It depends on your hair and how much red you want. I mix it with another Natural Instinct to get just a bit of red. I think if you use it as directed, you will get light auburn but if you want more red, choose a deeper color.

The color isn't stated on the package. Henna is red typically, but it really depends on your base color because its tone changes relative to that: e.g. if you're blonde, it will probably end up a more coppery color, if you're a red head, it enhances your natural red, brown gets reddish highlights, black gets red tones visible in the sun. It also depends what you use to mix it up with-if you use coffee or tea, it tones down the red a bit, chamomile or lemon makes it redder (but the lemon can be rough on your hair). Also, the color depends on how long you leave it on, so you may want to do a strand test. The color isn't stated on the package.

What is your natural hair color? Also, did you mix up the deep red color and use it immediately or wait for the henna to "develop" first? If you have lighter hair, you will probably need to keep re-dying your hair to get it darker regardless of what color you use because my blonde ends have taken on a copper hue in the week after using the burgundy color, but the rest of my hair has a more purple hue. Also, with the Deep Red and Burgundy colors, you are supposed to apply it immediately after mixing, so if you waited,that may also have had an effect.

This Henna can be used for body art/design as well as for hair darkening. It gives a dark red/orange stain (not bright green) and when used along with Indigo powder, it gives a near black coloring.

Yes! I mix lemon juice with henna (40 g for short hair), let it sit overnight, then in the morning just before applying it, I add 40 g indigo with warm water to the mixture. The color turns out dark brown with a tint of red. My hair is naturally medium/dark brown. It works great!

Yes! As long as your hair is dark before you use the henna it will work perfectly. When I did mine my roots were dark and the rest of my hair a light light red. When I used the henna my the dark sections of my hair turned out like they should have, burgundy but the light parts did turn orange. I kept it this way because it's like an unintentional ombré. Make sure your hair is all one color and dark and you should be fine. Also, you might want to get two packs. It took me two colorings to really get it to where I wanted.
