Light Mountain Henna Hair Color & Conditioner - Black Hair Dye for Men/Women, Organic Henna Leaf Powder and Botanicals, Chemical-Free, Semi-Permanent Hair Color, 4 Oz (Pack of 3)

I've been using this for years to cover the grays and give my hair an overall shine. If you have gray hair, and perhaps even if you don't, you need to start with a straight henna application first. I buy Light Mountain Naturals' red and use that. If you have gray hair, you'll have to do this every six weeks or so. Here are detailed directions: 1) Mix the henna (the Red box) with hot water and let sit for at least five hours. You can even mix it the day before (or even weeks before), but if you're not going to use it for a while (say, three days or so), put it in the freezer. It freezes great. If you'll go more than 5 hours but less than a few days, put it in the fridge until you're ready to use it. 2) Wash you hair, but don't use any conditioner. Comb it through and part it so you can easily apply the color. Put vaseline (or plant-based vaseline-type jelly) on your ears, your neck and your face along the hair line. Prep your area by putting down newspaper and a drop cloth and have some rubber gloves around. 3) Use a brush to apply the red (henna) and make sure you have no metal anything touching the color. Add more distilled water if it's too thick. I like it the consistency of pancake batter to make it easier to apply. 4) You'll want to leave the red on for 10 minutes or so. While it's on, mix the black (indigo). Use hot water and mix only what you'll need. Indigo does not keep and should be used within an hour or so of mixing it. I have longish hair (below my shoulders) and I use half a package for each application. I close up the bag with the remaining indigo with tape so it stays fresh. 5) Rinse off the red when your hair has visibly turned orange (you can see it on grays for sure). Pat your hair dry, comb it out and part it for the indigo. 6) Apply the indigo, beginning at the roots and working your way out to the ends. Cover in the plastic bag they include in the box or use another plastic bag (or shower cap). I leave it on for 75 minutes, but you might need it on for less or more time. 7) While the indigo is on, I put away the unused red (henna) by putting it in the freezer. It freezes great. Since I'm only using the red on my roots, I usually get 3 or 4 applications of the red from one box. I also clean up my bathroom by getting rid of the newspaper, washing the brush and comb, and shaking out the drop cloth in the bathtub. 8) When it's time, rinse off the indigo with water, then use a conditioner rinse to get the bulk of the indigo off of your hair and scalp. It won't all come off, but most of it will. 9) Don't wash your hair with shampoo for at least 24 hours. I try to go 48. Your hair will smell like plants and if you scratch your scalp, you'll get blue gunk under your fingernails. Hang in there! It will take two shampoos to get it all out, but try to be patient and only wash your hair every other day or so the first week and only after at least 24 hours has passed since you first applied the color. 10) I get tons of compliments on my hair when I use this. Truly! It grows out great and looks natural. Just remember to use the red first.

I really like this product for dying my hair. It is all natural, and the color comes out great. I don't really like the smell, but being all natural makes it worth it. I would use it again and again; I love the product, and this is cheaper on Amazon than in the health stores, just saying.

first and foremost WEAR GLOVES the packaging didn't come with gloves and I stupidly just applied the dye with my hands. now they are stained a dark blue color. since that was my own mistake, this henna gets five stars. the process is very simple, here's what I did to end up with a neutral black or dark brown hair color (my original color was dark brown with light brown roots) - place henna powder in glass container, slowly add around 1 and 1/2 cups of pure black tea - mix with plastic spatula - start applying to hair within 10 min (put tarps on the floor and vaseline on your face, neck, and ears because its so messy) - wait 4 hours after wrapping the hair in plastic, I put a towel overtop of the plastic too rinsing out was not that bad, only took about 10-15 mins. I heard you aren't supposed to shampoo, oil, or condition your hair for 2-3 days after applying henna to let it oxidize. My hair feels thicker, smooth, and not that dry so far. Also many reviews mention a very bad smell of the henna, but I have not noticed anything like that. Me and my mom both agree it smells very faint and earthy. However, there is a strong smell when mixing.

First I want to say that I have been coloring my hair with Light Mountain Henna over the last 6 months & I have loved it, I have naturally dirty strawberry blonde hair, I've used Light Mountain Henna Dark Brown which has turned out the best with color richness on my hair, & I've used the Bright Red which came out more on the orange side of red than I really care for but still was solid coverage & rich color... However, the Black did nothing for my hair - I can notice maybe a slightly darker in some sections but my roots which are the lightest color in my hair didn't even change color at all! Also, my hair seems more sticky than I have experienced with the other color henna. I'm pretty disappointed - you can't color chemical dye on henna treated hair or it has a tendency to turn green, so if I want dark hair I have to either settle for the dark brown, which is still lighter on my hair, or wait 2 months not coloring & try chemical dye hoping it won't turn green. The upside to letting it grow out, I guess, is atleast with henna it fades allover so there's less of noticible roots vs previously colored hair. If Light Mountain Black is your first experience with henna dye - don't let it discourage you from trying other henna dyes or even other colors from Light Mountain. Henna dye is a different experience than chemical dyes, it takes some practice & extra care but it is great for naturally conditioning & coloring hair & as I mentioned above it's not as drastic with grow out.

It fades over time I bought it just as a hair mask though not really trying to dye my hair but the color does fade when you do dye your hair. I left the henna on for 4 hours and it looked nice initially but after 2 weeks I could see it starting to fade. It works great as a hair mask though.

طلبت المنتج من البائع OTCRX4U وكان موضح 3 علب وسعرها 171 ريال وتفاجأت أنه لم يرسل الا علبة واحدة فقط... فعليكم الانتباه من هذا البائع.

Great product!!!

I’ve used these over the years and finally sitting down to review. The coverage is my good and long lasting. Hubby hates when I use it as he says I smell like a stable for a good week. Adding scented oils can help lessen the smell but only so much. If you have a sensitive nose be warned it lingers. Otherwise a beautiful and natural color.

This is the first time I dye my hair in my life, and of course the first time I use henna. I have several comments: - My natural color is dark brown, and I am pleased with the results, it's a little darker than my natural brown. - I thought I was going to make a huge mess but really after the henna is mixed it is quite easy to manage. I did my roots first and I have very long hair, so I covered the bathtub with plastic bags and after I did my roots I got in the bathtub and did the rest of my hair with my hands and that was easier. - I used henna because I am growing a lot of grays, and it did cover them although they do not look really brown. Next time I will leave the henna for a little longer than 4 hrs, this time I just did 2.5hrs. - I left the henna sitting for 1 hour and I think it does make it work quicker. - I would not recommend going to sleep with the henna on. Some people recommended it but I personally felt really uncomfortable, my head was really humid and I stained the pillow. I think this is a good option because it is natural-based and easy to use. The product does what is advertised, if you have grays do some research on what henna would be best for you.

Product as such I ordered
