Rainbow Research Henna Hair Color and Conditioner Persian Dark Brown Sable - 4 oz

i have this clump of grey that really bugged me, so i tried the henna just on this one clump. it doesn’t magically dye the grey hair to dark brown/black like the rest of my hair, but it definitely made the greys blend in better with the rest of my hair. it also conditioned my hair nicely which was a nice bonus. :)for what it is—a natural product, cheap, and diy friendly—it works really well. definitely worth a try as an alternative to harsh chemical products.

I have tried other henna products and this is by far the best. Do research on what type of hair will hold henna - also you can add an egg to the mix for conditioning, and add brewed coffee or tea to cut the red tones. Color is beautiful, the end effects for me look like honey highlights. Covers gray well. Heat helps and length of time you leave it on.

Here's what will happen if you have a small amount of gray hair or more, and use this product… It will turn your hair dark reddish orange. I don't know about the other colors that Henna offers and how they perform, but the dark brown version should not be used at all, unless you're dressing up for Halloween and going as Bozo the clown, because that's what it will do to your hair… Sad to say it turned my graying temples and gray in front all dark reddish orangey brown. The only reason I bought this product was because it's all natural and chemical free, and I'm all about organics and purity when it comes to my health, but ironically I had to go and run out and try and cover up this horrible dye job with the chemically laden hair dye " Just for Men"...that's that wonderful product that comes with all kinds of warnings because of possibly all of the radioactive plutonium and isotopes it must contain.. and after re-doing the crappy Henna job with just for men...my hair still looked like carrot top...as well as my head felt like the monster from the alien movie just regurgitated on top of my head and his acid was melting my scalp...my freakin head was on fire...they really should rename that product to something like "Just for Dead Men", so they look good in the coffin… because that stuff is intolerable on any living creature. Well needless to say my hair is ruined for at least a month because oh Henna… and so I am rectifying the situation by shaving my head tomorrow… Luckily I'm a Buddhist so it's not a big deal, and I'll just let it grow back In (I'm Buddhist but I'm still not ego-less....yet lol)...and in the future I think I'll just let myself grey naturally.Again to reiterate I'm only commenting on the dark brown product because that's the one I've used… I don't know about their other products, but if this is any indication of what they could be like… You might want to just run from this company and never look back... and you probably want to run from "just for men" too, unless you don't mind glowing in the dark and having your head burst into flames like "Ghost Rider".

Great and healthy product, no allergies , easy to use.

I bought this because, after having had chemically dyed hair for over a year in red, I was ready to return to a color closer to my original (which is a Chestnut type color). Its been over 6 months now since I last dyed my hair and I chose Henna because I'm allergic to hair dye and didn't want to spend two days on Benadryl again.I thought I had followed the directions perfectly - but I think they were confusing. I was under the impression that adding tea would give my hair a browner color as I had been warned it could be more reddish, so I substituted black tea for water, added 2 T. of sweet almond oil and left it on my medium length hair for an hour. It was DARK. Very dark. While I succeeded in making it brown, in the end it stripped all the red from it completely, leaving a lack-luster, brownish brassy color which was about 2-3 shades darker than my normal hair color. I think maybe if I'd done it without any additives it might have been the color on the box, but then again I'm not sure as afterwards I learned that the indigo may potentially darken *further* as it oxidizes.Currently, I am currently trying to lighten it back to at least a medium brown and exploring whether I can tint it with red henna to bring back some color to it (like a dark auburn or something). The image is after following the instructions to strip with dish soap, using a mixture of coconut/olive oil, washing with BS and rinsing with ACV. It did let some of my highlights through after that and lost the brassy/green tinge. Hopefully that means the indigo won’t darken further, but I guess I’ll see.Those with more experience with Henna than me may be able to tell if adding the black tea would really have made it so different from the intended color but, as for myself, I can only say that it was NOT chestnut.

I've been using this product for years. I'm not high maintenance and don't have the time or money to go to salons but I started graying at 22 and now at 45, I'm over 50 percent gray but not ready to rock it yet. This one does the job, is all-natural, and inexpensive. It doesn't completely blend the grays but makes them like light brown highlights which I'm okay with it, as long as they're not gray. If you've never used before, be prepared, as it's not like a boxed hair dye you get from the store. It's a bit of a messy process and can be long depending on how dark or how much coverage is needed. I couldn't find before and after pics from the same time but the attached pic is my natural hair color with grays all grown out and hair was dry/styled. The other was freshly rinsed out and damp, unstyled.
