I have really dark brown hair. Trying to achieve a deep red, almost purple toned look. Please share your thoughts/experiences with the wine red? TY!

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 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.

Yes it will, I have brown hair with natural red highlights and when I used this definitely the red was for sure more prominent. It makes a very bright deep red and is by far my favorite color to use on my hair! So I'm sure that if it worked on my dark hair and turned it a deep red it will work even better for yours!

I've never used One & Done but everyone sad that Natural Black Bronzer (the purple bottle) is better. That's the one I use and I love it! I've gotten so much darker very quickly. It smells like pia colada and isn't greasy at all.

I personally have tried to change *even ever so slightly* the color of my synthetic wigs, but have not found a fail-proof way of doing so. I tried the rubbing alcohol and shaprie trick, but that only lightly tinted the fibers of the lightest wig i had. This one I tried to make darker, no success. Though I should say I LOOOOOOOVE the deep wine color this piece has in person(: hope I helped

I really like the dark brown, I have never tried the soft black. As a matter of fact it is on my hair right now. I do have gray hair and it does a nice job covering. It last as long as it takes for your hair to grow, usually 5 or 6 weeks.. It will stay longer, but I have to do it that often because of my roots. I think you should try it.. It is also a good conditioner.

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

Depending on your natural hair color, if you're trying to avoid brassiness ("red tone"), stick with ash or violet colors. The "N" in "7N" stands for neutral. That may work, but you may be better off with a "7A" or "7V." (The V isn't as common, but I know Ion has a color like that.) If you use the 7N and have red tones, this Brass Banisher product works fairly well. You can also try Wella Color Charm toner in T18. That may darken your color a little bit, but it will remove the red. You'll need to use a 20 developer with it. If your natural color is dark (brown or black), stick with the ashy colors. If you're already blonde and just want to go lighter, the neutral color may work ok. Wella Color Charm also has some extreme ash colors. I believe there is a 7AA color. I went from dark brown to light blonde. I like the intense ash colors, they really help to get rid of the "orange" that inevitably occurs when I dye my hair. But if your hair is dark, just using a 7 color probably isn't going to make it blonde. You'll probably have to bleach it first, then use the color, and probably add a toner. Unless you want to try the L'Oreal HiColor product. I, personally, haven't used that, but it's supposed to help you go from dark to light in one step with no brassiness.

Hi - I'm not an expert, but it sounds good to me. It's not a "high lift" color, but could be very subtle. if I were you I'd do a strand test since some people's hair has a tendency to go reddish. In my case I was moving away from red back to blonde, and this was a helpful step on the way.

Honestly, with your blonde hair I think the brunette would give you the dramatic look you're looking for because the brown/dark brown is really dark. I'm african american and I have it and it's really dark on me but because I like how it lasts I use it anyway and just fade in the color.

my hair is naturally light brown, and when I used the henna for the first time it did give me the deep red that I wanted. I would recommend for you to leave it as long as you can, the longer you keep it on the deeper the red is. The longest I've left it on is 3 hrs and it was a nice deep red, maybe the color you want. good luck!

I think it depends on how dark your hair is and the natural color of your eyebrows. My hair is a light gold/red. I use 002 Light Brown / Champagne. Anything darker would be too dark for me. I am unable to find this product in stores anymore and am so thankful that it is sold through Amazon. It's the BEST eyebrow product I have ever, ever used.

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 :)

...Good morning, Mary, how are you doing today? I would like to answer your question well, but I really don't know about that, because I have never used any red color mix for my hair...maybe you can mix some red with the dark blonde and you would obtain some red shadow...at least you can try it for the first time and see what happens...I think it would be a nice option for your...sincerely, Nidia.

Hello, This color lasts me for over 4 weeks and it still looks great and natural. I believe the Dark brown vs the Soft Black would be your individual preference. To help you choose one or the other, take notice of your Eye Brown color. Try to match your hair color as close as you can to your Eye Brown Color. Doing this will help your Total Beauty Look more Complete.

My hair is med-dark brown and I use the darker brown. The spray will blend in with your hair.. Be careful not to spray too heavy in one location of hair.

Do you have blonde hair? If you use the burgundy it will be more purple. you can re-dye it as many times as you need because it is all natural. Be sure to leave it on for 3 hours because it takes time to process. it does not fully process on the first use, and I noticed that after the second time it came out darker.

I've used it with the same results. I alwas preferred the light brown because, to me, it looked like my natural color and didn't look like you did anything to your hair at all. I think the new product can darken a bit more or I might be imagining it. Be careful "Touch of Gray" and "Just For Men" are two different products.
