will this tone down red tones in hair that has been dyed using henna?

It really tones down any responses tones no matter what type of dye is used. It lifts the red tones and deposits cool tones. It isn't extreme but it does help quite a bit.

I have long blonde/light brown and have never used henna. But, this definitely worked immediately for brassiness from highlights. It also made my hair feel healthier, which surprised me.

The Godrej Nupur is primarily henna and has a number of other herbs and spices which boost its conditioning qualities. All (natural) henna tends to color your hair an orange to red shade depending on your base hair color. Senna (also known as cassia obovata) has similar effects to henna without the coloring issue (it has a neutral to yellowish tint) and that may suit you better if you have fair or light colored hair.

The color isn't stated on the package. Henna is red typically, but it really depends on your base color because its tone changes relative to that: e.g. if you're blonde, it will probably end up a more coppery color, if you're a red head, it enhances your natural red, brown gets reddish highlights, black gets red tones visible in the sun. It also depends what you use to mix it up with-if you use coffee or tea, it tones down the red a bit, chamomile or lemon makes it redder (but the lemon can be rough on your hair). Also, the color depends on how long you leave it on, so you may want to do a strand test. The color isn't stated on the package.

It does if you leave it on 2 to 3 hours and prep your hair first, also I have used either coffee or black tea to mix with the henna instead of water. You prep your hair by making a paste out of baking soda & water, the ratio is approximately 1/2 baking soda and a little less than 1/2 water. After washing your hair, towel dry then apply this paste especially at the roots and where your gray hair is, leave this on for 10 minutes and rinse your hair until it no longer feels grainy. This is a natural way to open the hair cuticle a little so it takes the color better. Dry your hair, now apply the henna and cover your hair with a plastic bag & leave it on for as long as you can. I've also added about 15 minutes of heat toward the end either a hot towel or heat cap. It works great and really conditioned my hair while looking natural with high & low lights and lasts quite a while.

This particular brand does not use any metallic salts in their henna blend, so you should be able to color over it as long as the mix you buy does not contain indigo. I should warn you, however, henna DOES NOT bleach out, so you'll only be able to go darker after you use it.

Most definitely as red as on the package. I started out with nearly black hair and it is still the color of the hair you see. I've tried two other colorings with a different color henna since and it's still the color on the package. You need to like that color because it's not going anywhere any time soon. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful color and looks good on the hair, but if you don't like it, don't do it.

My natural color is a medium brown and it lightens my hair a bit with extended use. I've used same product for about 2 years. It will definitely turn any grey you have into a red/auburn color. The directions say to leave it on for an hour, but I leave it on for two (it wont damage your hair because there aren't any harsh chemicals.) Keep in mind that henna oxidizes and takes about 2 days for full color to actually take form. When I rinse it out, it always seems a little brassy to me, but after a day it softens and on the third day color is a very pretty reddish brown. So to answer your question, I would say that it would probably leave a reddish tone on your hair (maybe seen more in the sunlight) and with highlights red colors would become stronger after extended use........ The good news is that it is inexpensive so if it doesn't work, you didn't spend $150 at a salon. And if you don't like it, no worries because it fades after 3 weeks :)

Hi Crystal, being that henna is a natural product, it won't lighten your hair but you will still pick up a lot of those deep red highlights using the Wine Red. It might actually be close to that purple look you are wanting just because your hair is already a little darker than the Wine Red is by itself.

I have natural strawberry blond in the summer. This does nothing for me except make my hair flat - and I think the henna makes it darker and takes out the red, which is what henna is often used for. I just don't think it works, but reviews dramatically vary.

Yes, you can if you want to remove the henna from your hair. I would use this with a 20 or 30 volume developer since 40 volume will destroy your hair. Remember that will all bleaching, there will be damage. The amount of damage is determined by the health of your hair so make sure your hair is healthy and you deep condition after wards!

Yes you can, if you're planning on sticking with henna for the long run because if you do, if you dye your hair with chemical color it could ruin your hair. Which is what chemical dyes do anyway. But henna is really healthy and if you have light highlights the color could be more red depending on the color.

the Henna will lighten naturally as time goes on. If you really hate the color and want to go lighter there are color oops on the market at like Sally's that you can buy and it should correct some darkness by stripping with a peroxide. Im sure your hair will be happier if you leave it alone and just let the henna fade naturally.

I did! I henna'd my hair for the first time, and a couple of weeks later realized it was way too dark for me so I tried a light brown permanent color and it worked fine.no problems whatsoever.

Probably not the way you want it to. Unlike conventional hair dyes, this doesn't have compounds to "lift" any of your natural hair color off, so it'd probably end up only looking reddish under sunlight.

Yes. It gave me really beautiful burgundy color, but the secret is that you need to stay with the henna as long as you can. I stayed with the henna for 14 hours/ on the weekend/ and got amazing results.
