I used the deep red henna and it came out very orange. Will burgundy give me the more purple based red? Or will it just be a dark brownish red? I

Do you have blonde hair? If you use the burgundy it will be more purple. you can re-dye it as many times as you need because it is all natural. Be sure to leave it on for 3 hours because it takes time to process. it does not fully process on the first use, and I noticed that after the second time it came out darker.

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.

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.

I used this color at a salon, and to getthe deep purple I wanted They needed to lift some of my natural color first. (I have dark brown hair) Now it looks amazing, but its a dark purple.

I'm using light brown color right now, haven't tried blond color yet.. it covers grey but not 100% and has little reddish tone, but benefit of Henna is that, my hair gets stronger and shinier and falls out less and you need to color it every 2 or 3 weeks..

Henna! In my experience, for this auburn color, my grey was bright orange after leaving it on for the maximum time and as time went on, it got orangier and orangier

I used the "dark brown formula" and it just accents my dark brown hair; there is no red at all. They have different herbal formulas. order the one you want and read the instructions - if you add salt or vinegar, it will affect the results in different ways.

My hair is a dark red... Intense dark red. I would say that this is most likely the color you're looking for as long as you read up on how to dye your hair with henna. If you make the mistake of washing the color after dying it, you could end up with orange. Study and then try.. I love my hair now!

Depends what you are trying to achieve. If you bleach it all the way to blonde then henna over it, in addition to the bleach damage you will probably end up with pumpkin-colored hair. You could try just using a color remover to get close to your natural color, but even then the henna will look different on your virgin roots than on your dyed ends. When I first used henna (not this brand or color, it was just henna with no hibiscus powder) I was applying it over about half virgin hair and half chemically dyed a shade very close to my natural medium brown. The dyed ends soaked up a LOT more henna and were a much brighter red, but somehow it all blended nicely into a cool ombr effect rather than a harsh line of demarcation.

This is a light color and it is a warm tone but I think you will find it to be more red When applied over blonde hair. After about a week it will settle down into a lighter auburn color. If you have never done henna before application can be kind of tricky. I can give you a few helpful tips if you would like please email me at Echorunner@Live.com

My natural color is a medium brown and it lightens my hair a bit with extended use. I've used same product for about 2 years. It will definitely turn any grey you have into a red/auburn color. The directions say to leave it on for an hour, but I leave it on for two (it wont damage your hair because there aren't any harsh chemicals.) Keep in mind that henna oxidizes and takes about 2 days for full color to actually take form. When I rinse it out, it always seems a little brassy to me, but after a day it softens and on the third day color is a very pretty reddish brown. So to answer your question, I would say that it would probably leave a reddish tone on your hair (maybe seen more in the sunlight) and with highlights red colors would become stronger after extended use........ The good news is that it is inexpensive so if it doesn't work, you didn't spend $150 at a salon. And if you don't like it, no worries because it fades after 3 weeks :)

I would suggest darkening your hair a bit before you use this henna. When I did mine, my roots were dark and the rest a medium blonde. The dark parts, my roots, turned the nice burgundy but the lighter sections turned orange like regular henna does.

Crayola super bright orange. No way around it, that grey is going to be pretty bright. Depending on how the grey is positioned in your hair, it may be fine. If you have it threaded somewhat evenly through your hair, it will look fine, but if your grey is in patches, the henna will be a noticeably different (and brighter) color in the grey. IF you choose a darker or lighter shade of the Surya than the straight red henna, it won't be quite as obnoxiously bright, though.

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.

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.

I did! I henna'd my hair for the first time, and a couple of weeks later realized it was way too dark for me so I tried a light brown permanent color and it worked fine.no problems whatsoever.

I have been using Henna to dye my hair since last year for the same reason of yours. It says it is 100% pure. According to my experience this Henna power dyes my grey hair into deep orange red color if using alone. I now use two steps (Henna followed by Indigo) to dye my grey hair back to my original color -soft back. It works well for me. Being gritty is the only drawback I feel about this product, but it does do the job. Recently, I found a local Indian store which sells henna. Product from there smells the same and does the same job. The only difference is that the texture is finer. I hope this answers some of your questions.
