Original Indian Pure and Natural Henna (Mehndi) for Hair - 3X100 gms

Bought this a week ago and already used it. I have another brand which didn't take on my hair as much as this one. I thought as well the texture of the past and the way it dried on my hair was better than other products I have tried before. Also when I was rinsing it out, it didn't leave my hair as dried and clumpy. (I used aloe vera, maybe that's why, normally I use it as a conditioner when I rinse out, not in the henna mix). I also do the two steps. I haven't shampooed my hair yet so let's see....

Mi pelo es castaño más bien oscuro y tengo canas. En la primera aplicación en las canas me quedó un tono ámbar brillante muy bonito y en el resto del pelo reflejos caoba (prácticamente solo se notaban los tonos caoba al sol, o cuando me ponía algo negro). Yo nunca había usado henna y lo que me sorprendió desde la primera aplicación es la vida que le dio a mi pelo, mucho más brillante, con más 'cuerpo' y menos frizze. En la segunda aplicación, el ámbar de las canas se oscureció un poco y el tono caoba oscuro se notaba bastante más sin necesidad de que le diera el sol. El resto de las aplicaciones solo afianzan el mismo color. En mi caso, me destiñe un poco en los siguientes dos o tres lavados después de la aplicación al usar shampoo o suavizante, si solo se moja no destiñe y después del tercer lavado ya no vuelve a desteñir aún usando shampoo y suavizante.

Très bon produit.

Smells disguting (like old mud mixed with seaweed), but was easy enough to use and the color came out beautifully. I didn't find it to be that messy. I mixed it with very hot water (not boiling, I could dip my finger in the water but couldn't keep it in the water) to make it develop faster, chamomille tea (to have a more natural color, it dulls the orange a bit), a splash of apple cider vinegar (to boost the brightness) and a splash of olive oil (because henna is drying). The dye release time with hot water was about an hour and a half and I left the paste in my hair for 2 hours. It washed very easily and the color with the add of chamomille is a beautiful copper, not a bright orange. I would not recommend this particular recipe for darker hair : my lenghts are bleached, but not my roots and the color doesn't show on my roots (ashy brown). It is less ashy though. But I see other people had great results using this henna differently, so adapt your recipe and it should turn out as you like it!
