Is this 100% natural henna? In other words, I want to know if it's pure or not or if I need to worry about it containing chemicals. It's not black henna, right?

I have been using Henna to dye my hair since last year for the same reason of yours. It says it is 100% pure. According to my experience this Henna power dyes my grey hair into deep orange red color if using alone. I now use two steps (Henna followed by Indigo) to dye my grey hair back to my original color -soft back. It works well for me. Being gritty is the only drawback I feel about this product, but it does do the job. Recently, I found a local Indian store which sells henna. Product from there smells the same and does the same job. The only difference is that the texture is finer. I hope this answers some of your questions.

Yes, the one I got was 100% lawsonia inermis which is the henna plant. I continue ordering it because of this.

It's pure henna powder. I'm concerned about that too when I'm shopping as I use it to color my hair. This stuff is fine. I did not have any issues with it.

It might not turn out the same as if you didn't use henna so it's not recommended but I don't think there's any harm in it... I llightened a friends hair after henna, and it didn't take all the color out, it made it kind of brassy so I had To go over it twice.. Henna is kind of a commitment but it is possible to dye over it.....

This is going to give you pretty darn red hair. Like BRIGHT red. If you are looking for a hint of red I would try a different color or try to tone it down a lot by mixing half of a dark brown box with half of a red box. I'm not sure if the manufacturer would recommend that but if I was going to experiment on myself that is what I would do. If you Google Light Mountain Henna Red and look at the images you'll be able to see other people's outcomes, many look the same as my own color. I use this brand/shade every other month. I'll never stray!

I have contacted the company to find out what the rest of the ingredients are. After all, if I am concerned about what I use in my garden, I should be entitled to know what is in it. This is the response I got: "Ingredients considered potentially hazardous are listed on the product label and on the MSDS. The unlisted ingredients are generally regarded as safe by the United States EPA. Unlisted ingredients are considered proprietary and are not generally disclosed. Complete formulation may be released directly to a doctor and/or medical authority when/if required. " To me this rings alarm bells! I ended up purchasing pure neem oil. You dilute it, just as you would this product concentrate. Neem oil is the only active ingredient here anyway. This way you do not have any undisclosed ingredients to deal with. I have obviously passed on purchasing this product.

No. I would use manic panic instead. Henna is a long process and rarely turns out to be the color on the box.

Bleach it first. The colors are henna based and will blend with your original color it may not come out how you expect

I suggest using something else my experience with henna was terrible my hair turned light blue than gray it took me a year to get some sort of normal back to my hair if you go to a professional you may have more luck and in the long run for me would have been cheaper cause after you use henna nothing else will cover it.

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 did. I went to the Salon first. My hair was bleached and then dyed a mocha. The bleach did not lift much of the henna at that point I was asked what red I used for my hair. My dresser was dissapointed that I didn't let her know I used henna as she said it was impossible to remove. I hated the brassy color I was left with came home and dyed my hair an ashy color and the toned and dyed again. My hair has broken in areas. I made a mess of my hair. If you used henna color I highly recommended you do not dye over it. If you get tired of it let it grow out!

I think it is 100% pure! However, I truly have nothing to go on, but I did a ton of research and found the company I bought from is a great supplier. As one of the other posters said maybe ask the seller and see what else you can dig up.

Hello. You have to purchase the henna separately. I recommend Jamila BAQ henna. I hope this helps. : )

I looked this up, and this brand would be ok for doing henna tattoos, as there aren't any added chemicals. It may or may not be as good of quality as the kind used for henna tattoos, but i've read that it will work.

As I know, you can not dye your hair with chemical hair color for a hair you have dyed with henna. It is not because of safety. The reason is, your hair won't get that color. The problem with henna is, you won't be able to use chemical hair color over it. It is a permanent color. You may want to wait until your hair grow and use the chemical color for the hair you've not dyed with henna. Hope this helps.

I use natural henna (very red) and indigo on my hair. I go back a couple of days later and use this product to "lift" the color for subtle highlights. I get a lot of complements and people are usually shocked when I tell them my process because it looks so natural. I can't tell you how it would work for natural red hair. Try a sample hidden area first.

On the label it says 100% Pure Organic. It also says Natural Product, 100% Pure. I honestly don't know if it's certified. No where on the label, that I can see, does it say certified.

The inside of the box says henna for hair. But I think it's body art quality because I read online that is best one for hair aswell. It's dark green tho.
