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.

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

The box says ( in Spanish) that it's meant for hair, but it is pure henna powder so I think in theory you could also use it on your skin. I accidentally got some on my wrists when applying and it stained it orange. If I had left it on longer it probably would've gotten darker. Look up the different techniques for doing it at home and don't use any Henna that claims to be black henna for tattoos. That has PPD and will cause scarring and is very bad. There are other temporary tattoo things for sale on Amazon. You could check those out as an alternative.

When my hair was dark, it only vaguely added a reddish tint to it that did not last long. It was only when I had lightened my hair that the henna made my hair red.

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.

Yes, it can be used for henna designs on the hand; it can also be used for application on the grey hair to get a dark orange shade.

There are neutral colorourless henna conditioners made by Surya Henna, Rainbow Henna, and Light Mountain henna (my favorite). You can leave those for hours and not color your hair. But if you buy NATURAL (red) henna, you WILL tint at the very least, but more than likely you'll get red hair (unless your hair is very dark). If your hair IS dark brown or black, you can use this henna and only get a slight tint. Leave on for an hour and you'll be good. BUT if you have light or medium brown hair, it WILL color. So try the neutral henna, it's the same conditioning results without the red.

The packets come with instructions. You mix the henna with water or I mix it with hibiscus tea or red zinger to give the henna more of a red effect and mix until you get a smooth texture. Then apply to hair with gloves and always use vasaline on the hair line, ears, and neck. Henna does stain skin a little, but if you wash it off quickly it comes right with water. Hope this helps.

Yes you can put henna on top of dark black hair. I have black hair and I use this once a month. Your hair will not turn red though. It will just strengthen your hair a whole lot. If your hair is light black you may see some amber shine in the light. Henna isn't a "hair dye" it is a natural plant and it bonds to the keritain in your hair staining it. So it's not actually stripping off your color so if your hair is blonde you will see the red. If your hair is dark you may not see it but it is still well worth it. My hair is past my butt because of how strong it makes your hair. Which before henna I was lucky to get past my shoulders because of split ends.

The Auburn has no purple tint, more of a nice copper tone; the results are different for everyone depending on their hair color and what they mix into it, but I think you will be fine. The Henna does no damage to your hair and you can re-dye it right away if needed.

There are instructions that come with henna but I applied it after washed hair & towel dried. The henna will dry if it's warm but that's okk, juss keep applying ☺

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 have a bit of gray. I used Henna for the first time and it covered everything beautifully. I'm a complete convert now. I have pretreated hair, years of dyeing. I'm not sure how well the Henna would grab a hold of untreated hair but for me, it's maintained it's color wonderfully. Can't recommend enough.

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.

I'm not sure. There is quite a bit of henna, but that is a lot of hair! I would say you could get two or the applications, depending on how much liquid you use.

First can you tell me if you just used straight henna or did you mix with Indigo? If you just used straight henna then you will not be able to lighten it will stick. Regular shampoos that have sulfate in them will strip them a bit but if you have gray that might not be what you want. You can try honey, which carries natural peroxide in it and it will lighten it over time and give it highlights but will alter your red to a golden color which may not be what you want. If you are mixing with lemon it will lighten a bit but be careful with that cause the combination will make your hair a bit dry. let me know if u have any other questions.
