Hi, I am a hair stylist and I am interested in the natural red hair color. I would like to know what level it is, does it cover grey, ingredients?

I am a hairdresser who has been using this off and on for about 20 years. I'm a natural level 5 . I have mixed white now especially on the front right part, only about 25% grey throughout I would say. I have fine curly hair. Do not use heat or a cap. It needs to dry on your head. 1 hour is perfect. Do not shampoo out, just rinse though all the way through till water runs clear. I do not shampoo for several days, though you can after 24 hours. I use this and occasionally Clairol soy creme permanent haircolor in between henna treatments with no problem.

I have not tried it on grey but I am confident it would cover grey. Henna is a natural dye and is powder that you mix with water. It is the same kind of stuff women in India have traditionally used to create beautiful temporary tattoos on their body, and so this does dye the skin but wears off after a couple days or a good scrub. It does not wear off of the hair. The only ingredient is powdered henna. The "level" is dependent on the color of hair being dyed and the length of time the dye is kept on the hair. The color is absolutely beautiful, but is much more subject to the original color of the hair than chemical dyes. I recommend at least an hour under heat for the best results.

I'm not a hair dresser; I'm a 50-ish strawberry blond w/minimal grey, so take this for what it's worth. I use this as a rinse monthly to give my hair shine, the red some oomph & make grey blend. If you have lots of grey, red henna is not for you.

I do not know all the ingredients but my hair looks good. I ordered it because my stylist use it. I have a natural and my cancer doctor said I need to use products that would not hurt my new growing hair. My hair is shoulder length in two years. My hair does not grow fast so I believe the products that I use most not be hurting my hair. Hope this help.

I have short hair with many gray strands and want a natural look. Where the time chart says leave it on 45 minutes, I leave it 35. It colors the gray but much lighter like my natural highlights. I use only 1/6th bottle per application and it lasts almost a year.

Hello, No you may use this with brown hair. If you are looking for grey coverage then you will not be disappointed. I mix this with Nupur, Amla, and shikakai powder for a great condition for your hair. The amount depends on the length and thickness of your hair. To cover your grey at the same time mix 12 hours before with very warm water and a tablespoon of cider vinegar, just enough to make it thick like yogurt, this will release the dye an you will have wonderful results. Rinse your hair with cider vinegar before you apply this thick mixture. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap and leave on as long as you like. You will have a medium brown color once you are done. This will darken a touch in 2 to 4 days. I add in a couple tablespoons of Cinnamon 10 minutes before I put this in my hair. I hope this helps. =O)

Not sure I have natural hair. But I don't see why not. It is a natural product. I really enjoy it. It covers my white gray perfectly.

My hair is also very gray but the REDKEN Oil in Cream Developer 20% does the job. My natural haircolor was medium brown. Now I mix the Redken Chromatics using 80% 6Gwith 20% 6Gr.Ever since I use Redken Chromatics the texture of my hair has very much improved. It has more bounce, is shiny and looks very natural.

Good Afternoon,Thank you for your email. I can confirm that this item does not help to transition to grey the description is as follows:Our Brun brick gives equal importance to reds and browns; use this if you want to achieve a rich deep brown hair shade with underlying hints of red and amazing levels of shine.If you want to develop the brown tones to the maximum, do not wrap your hair after application or, better still, sit under a steamer.There is lots of indigo in this brick, which can take up to 24 hours after washing off to fully develop. So expect your hair to darken through the first day. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any further enquiries.Kind RegardsAmy Good Afternoon,Thank you for your email.

I am sorry it has taken me so long to answer your question. The list of the ingredients would fill pages. I looked your question up on the internet, and it should help you. What I can tell you is the product has never hurt my scalp. Your scalp will look red in the beginning, but it will be fine. I love the product, and there is improvement, also now my hair has some curl to it. Also ask your hair stylist. That is now I found out about the product.

When I had it done my hair dresser it did not cover the grey at my roots so we covered it with black. The rest of my hair was covered with that Great color Violet, just love that color!

I'm sorry, Linda. I only have a bit of gray at my temples. My friend is completely gray and loves it. Although, at times, she does color her hair. She hasn't mentioned if there is a difference for natural or colored hair.

I have colored hair and it's very gentle on it. I used a Redken product before that was advertised to help preserve the color. I haven't seen any difference in color with this one. That is one of the reasons my hairdresser suggested it. I really like the conditioner also because it doesn't leave my hair oily or limp.

I have colored gray hair, but not a lot of gray. I had professional color about a year ago and have been using Root Touch Up or a simiilar product (L'Oreal or Clairol, I switch off). The professional color was close to my own shade anyway, with some lighter highlights. Anyway, keratin is the vital ingredient here and it's all good. I haven't noticed any color alteration or any negative effect from the OGX treatment. If there is some subtle change I'm not aware of it, because having my hair feel so much better is what gets my attention. I don't think you'd have any problem. There may be a phone number on the directions inside that would be more specific. Personally, I feel very safe with it.

Great Hair Day will cover NEW GROWTH of gray hair pretty well; however, keep in mind that the product is a powder so does not give shine to your hair where it has been applied so you would not want to use it from your roots to the ends, for example. I use this product every time I shampoo my hair. I have mostly gray hair which I have salon colored routinely, and I blend Great Hair Day up onto my new growth after each shampoo. I like the results and I feel it disguises the 'demarcation' between my gray and the colored portion pretty well. It gives me more time between the salon color process. I highly recommend this product.
