Wilł this work on pure henna? I'm talking 100% henna, no heavy metals. Since henna is an oxidative dye, why shouldn't Pravana extractor be used on it

Just as it says in the product insert, it does not work on henna, and it does not work on non-oxidative color.

I don't know why.. but this did not work on my henna (my henna was metal free as well). it looked like it worked for a few days but after I washed it for the first time after doing this process, it was back to the henna color.

This worked for me on my hennaed hair! I only use 100% lab tested henna and some indigo and cassia. After 2 applications I've gone from deep cherry ends to medium coppery ends and my roots are almost back to my original color with just a slight coppery tint. I'm going to try 2 more applications to try to even out the roots and ends.

I can't answer this positively, but based on another answer that the henna color came back sounds like it did work. I had to do the whole process a total of three times to remove all the dye from my hair. The first two times the color did come back after a few days, but the third time was the charm and the dark color dye did not return. You do have to follow all directions as stated to make this work. Again I used this on permanent hair dye and not henna. Good luck.

You might want to use a little wine red if you are looking for some red highlights. Also remember lemon juice or vinegar helps bring out the red in the henna.

Yes! As long as your hair is dark before you use the henna it will work perfectly. When I did mine my roots were dark and the rest of my hair a light light red. When I used the henna my the dark sections of my hair turned out like they should have, burgundy but the light parts did turn orange. I kept it this way because it's like an unintentional ombré. Make sure your hair is all one color and dark and you should be fine. Also, you might want to get two packs. It took me two colorings to really get it to where I wanted.

hi there - i'm afraid i can't answer your question, as i haven't used the product yet. it seemed to have some good reviews online though. i would recommend that you do a strand test with it before doing the whole head.....just in case. there was a good forum i found with lots of advice - something like knights of the long hair or something - lots of them had long hair and wanted to remove henna from it. don't have the link anymore, but worth googling.

Also, since you are using a the light brown mix to achieve this color they mix a proportion of henna with a proportion of indigo. I don't know how familiar you are with henna but straight henna should be mixed the night before and let sit over night to allow to dye to release to its maximum. Indigo does not need this and will fade so it must be used once mixed or soon after mixed to achieve the desired results. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that and didn't let it sit over night because in that case you would not get the results you wanted.

I use on my hair, but it's very nice pure henna, so should be a nice dark burgundy on the skin.

Pure henna - Lawsonia Inermis - doesn't come in different shades. Because henna releases only one pigment (red!), it cannot lighten your hair and if your natural color is almost black, henna certainly isn't going to give you the same shade on the package. If this DOES happen, you're not using pure henna. And there's nothing wrong with that, if that's what you choose. I just don't want people to make a decision based on bad info. The eventual shade will depend on three things: your natural hair color, the liquid you use to mix your paste, and how long you leave it on your hair. Adding cassia will lighten the eventual shade, and adding indigo will darken your hair. Google is your friend, and it's best to get an idea of how it works and what it can and can't do before you commit. Good luck in your Henna Journey!

I don't use shampoo... not a big fan of it, I only use conditioner to get it out. Henna hair color will take 2 to 3 days to oxidize and reach its final color, I don't know if immediate shampooing will affect that but not being a shampoo fan I prefer not to take the risk. Also, check out sites like The Long Hair Community, they have a huge forum with Tons of info regarding henna and hair all based on personal experiences

No. It appears to be 100% pure henna. Of course, I haven't tasted it. :-). Seriously, though, I have a keratin treatment in my hair, and salt would destroy it. It's held up for over three months, and I've hennaed my hair several times in between.

I'm not sure about indigo, but it says in the directions it doesn't work on henna. Sorry about that.

I tried the brown henna package. My hair is dark, and my roots are gray. For me, it made my roots a reddish/gold tint, which I don't like. I liked the conditioning aspect of it. Hope this helps

I'm not sure if you're asking what color the henna is or what color it will die your hair. The powder is green... its derived from the leaf of a plant. But it will die your hair red. Pure henna is always red. If someone's selling any other color and calling it henna, its not pure henna. You can read everything you ever wanted to know about henna at hennaforhair.com

From what I understand henna does not do too well with gray hair. Because it does not have its own pigment anymore, it absorbs all of the henna color rather than the henna tinting your actual hair color.

I used it on my color treated ends and it made them a beautiful fiery red that I had to cut off eventually r/t damage. I don't think the two are related but I can't be sure that the henna didn't make bad worse.

Henna doesn't lighten your hair so it will not turn it deep wine color instantly. It will make your hair stronger, healthier and give it beautiful burgundy red glow. Everytime you use it it gets stronger. You can really see it in the sun. I love henna. It saved my hair.

My roots didn't respond well to the henna. Gray turned a bit orangey. I loved the conditioning the henna gave to my hair, however, I'd have to maybe get tips on how to get better coloring for my gray
