Good Points

Leaves hair in brilliant condition, very glossy and with natural colours as each hair strand picks up the colour differently, hair looks wonderful in sunlight. Does not damage hair even one tiny little bit, on the contrary, it colours, conditions and strengthens all in one.


Bad Points

You cannot use normal hair dye over henna, you must wait for it to grow out. You may find it time consuming to leave the gloop in your hair - I find 4-6 hours best, but the results out-way this for me. Actually, who wants to use normal hair dye anyway, it wrecks your hair, so perhaps this is not a bad point after all.


General Comments

I have used Henna Hair Dye on my hair since I was 15, I am now 50! In the last few years, the grey coming in around my temples began to look too orange, my normal hair colour is very dark. Having discovered when I went to the hairdressers, that going lighter with highlights would need to wait because of the henna, I then grew out the henna over 3 years, using dye on the new growth. My hair became spoiled. I have always had lovely, glossy hair which people commented on, because of the henna conditioning it. Last week, guess what? I have thrown all the dyes out and gone back to henna mixed with indigo, to give a natural dark brown colour without the red henna going orange on the grey - result, glossy hair, in much better condition. I will be steering clear of normal hair dye in the future, and what a relief to be back with my beloved henna, and my hair looking like a natural color instead of a bottle dyed job, which is so obvious on women my age and looks all wrong with older skin tones. Hurray for henna.

    I found this review very helpful because... I am completely grey and because I have used ordinary hair dyes for over 20 years now and have been very concerned about media scares about all the chemicals that are in dyes as I do get cystitis quite often and have heard normal dyes can cause bladder cancer. I felt a bit worried because of all the 'orange' reports but because of the ladies report who is 50 I am keeping my fingers crossed that it might work for me. Thank you to the lady who wrote this review.
