5.0 out of 5 stars WOW
This was my first time using henna, and I have to say, it's messy and a little difficult to work with, BUT the results are phenomenal. I have medium to dark brown hair and I have always loved red hair. Since I wasn't blessed with it, mine comes in a box. I have short hair, but I decided to use the whole thing with one use. Because it is so thick and messy, I didn't want...

This review is from: Red Henna Hair Dye 100 Grams (Health and Beauty)
Note: This is my original review written about 2 days after I henna'ed. Scroll down for an updated review.

Do you long for red hair that doesn't fade after a week? Do chemical dyes leave your hair crispy and sad? I have tried chemical dyes a total of twice in my lifetime: the first was pink that turned brassy on me within a week and the second was blonde that not only didn't work, but made my head itch. My dermatologist told me that chemical dyes were not good for someone like me who has very very sensitive skin. So when I decided to go red, henna it was.

I tried this henna because regular BAQ (body art quality) henna would turn Cheeto orange on my naturally dark blonde/ light brown hair. I strand tested first (very, very important) and then went ahead with it. WOW WOW WOW. Nothing about my strand test could have prepared me for my beautiful new hair color. It is true to the color charts and just gorgeous. The henna went lighter over my highlights and the color is bright, multi-dimensional and sparkly.
The process itself wasn't that hard; I wore a plastic cape to protect my shirt and my mom helped me put it into my hair. Don't worry about the people who say that henna is a pain to rinse out of your hair, it only takes about ten minutes and the shower drain is not the slightest bit clogged. :) My only complaint is that today,about a day after I henna'ed my hair bled orange on the back of my shirt when I exercised. Not cool.

Over the next few weeks our resident scientist, Jc will be examining products and ingredients that are popular in the natural hair world — not to disparage them, but to provide a well-rounded view of them.

The word natural is not the same as the words safe, good or beneficial but many us do associate these words together. I think there needs to be more open dialogue about natural products and we should not automatically award them angel wings purely because they are natural. Every decision we make about ingredients needs to be carefully weighed in terms of benefits and risks.

First up is the natural colorant henna

Benefits

1. It is plant based, relatively easy to process and obtain.

2. It is known to build up on hair and some women note that it gives hair additional thickness

3. It is permanent and with regular application, easy to intensify the colour especially on grey hair.

4. It can be mixed with other natural dyes such as indigo to give a non-red result.

Risks / Negatives

1. The weight of henna build up can cause curls to loosen which is a benefit to some but for ladies with loose curls to begin with, henna may cause loss of these curls.

2. It is permanent and difficult to cover over. It is generally difficult to use permanent hair colour which is lighter than henna (i.e dark brown/black/dark red are generally fine) with good results on hair that has been previously treated with henna.

3. Some people do report dry hair after henna use but many often remedy this using a conditioner afterwards.

4. The dye responsible for henna’s colour is called lawsone and it is a known mutagen (i.e it can cause changes to DNA in cells)*

*Changes to DNA in cells are in part responsible for cancer – Please note that henna is not directly implicated in causing cancer, but in the EU there is no safe level for it due to its ability to mutate cells. The long and safe history of henna use especially in India is possibly the reason why its mutagenic properties are not usually seen as a cause for concern and despite there being no safe level for henna, it is still widely available.

Henna is a herb grown in the Middle East and India which has been used for centuries to dye hair and skin (a.k.a Mendhi) for special ceremonies. The herb is cultivated twice a year, then ground and sifted into a fine greenish powder. This henna powder is used as the base for henna paste used as natural hair color. Henna, when used alone, will give hair a red or auburn hues. The longer the henna paste mix is left on the hair, the richer and stronger the hue will be. Because Henna color pigments enter the hair shaft, it’s also very popular for its hair conditioning benefits, volumizing effects and adding shine.

Why Use Pure Henna Hair Color?
If you have greying hair, are pregnant or simply want to color your hair naturally without the use of chemicals, Pure Henna is perfect for you. More and more health studies are proving that chemical hair dies elevate risks of certain types of cancers. For example, if you dye your hair with dark chemical hair dye for over 10 years with an average of once a month, your likelihood of cervical cancer raised by 30%!

What makes henna so popular?
One of its main benefits is that henna is a wonderful conditioner for the hair, with protective and restorative powers. In other words, henna can be used to bring back health to damaged hair and restore the natural acid-alkaline balance to the scalp. Since it restores health to the scalp, it can contribute to promoting healthy hair growth.

Henna does not alter the chemical structure of the hair, the way chemical lotions do. Instead, it has the ability of coating each hair shaft, thus adding strength, thickness and body to the hair. It is also a powerful natural cleanser. It cleanses without disturbing the
natural balances. This is one of its greatest benefits. It leaves the hair healthy, clean, shiny and easy to manage.

How to use Henna Hair DyeNo s**t hair colourHere at Lush we are very comfortable with henna. But we know that it scares some people if they haven’t experienced its joys before.
It’s a bit intimidating when faced with a natural material that smells strange, looks like a pile of steaming horse manure and is impossible to imagine a nice colour coming from it.
Henna has been used for thousands of years. Traces have even been found on the hair and beards of Egyptian mummies.
In modern times synthetic dyes have pushed henna out of use in many parts of the world.
At the start of Mark’s career 30 years ago, he felt very concerned about the health effects of these synthetic hair dyes and started to study natural alternatives. He soon realised that henna is the ultimate natural hair colourant and he has studied and worked with it ever since. He even wrote a henna book for the Herbal Society back in 1978.
Over the years he has combined his trichologist training with his knowledge of henna to make a variety of products, from henna shampoos, conditioning hair treatments, powdered hair colours and colouring pastes. But we think our current henna is the best we’ve ever produced. We now mix the powders with cocoa butter and press them into a brick.
We are smug about our henna bricks
It’s not often we are smug at Lush, because we spend most of the time worrying about what we haven’t done, or what we could do better. But when everything is getting on top of us and we feel like failures, we only have to go downstairs to our shop and look at our henna bricks for a satisfied smile to creep over our faces.
What we love about our current hennas is the fact that they are a completely new way of using an age-old ingredient.
By making the henna into solid blocks, we don’t need preservatives in there. But it also makes them easier and more effective to use.
It is best to think of henna as a hair varnish, that coats the outside of your hair. It colours the hair, but it also adds a stunning shine.
It is basically a powdered leaf, that needs to be mixed with water and have good contact with your hair, in order for the colour to transfer onto your hair. The cocoa butter in our blocks helps the henna adhere to the hair whilst it does its work.
Henna will give a colour coating and shine to your existing hair colour. Successful colour results depends on a few key rules.
PH levels
The more acidic the mixture, the more red the results will be.
Water
Henna needs water to allow the colour to come out onto your hair. Mix to a wet paste that will stick onto the hair without flaking off or falling away.
Heat
Break the block into a bowl, cover chunks with boiling water and leave for a while to soften. Then mix to a paste, the consistency of double cream, adding more hot water if needed.
Keep the bowl over another bowl of hot water( or bain marie ) whilst you apply the henna. The hotter it goes on the hair the better it can work.
Exposure to air
Wrap your hair up tightly for redder results.
Loosen it up and expose to air for a darker effect.
Water and steam
The more water involved, or steaming the head will produce darker results.
Plenty of henna
The more henna that makes contact with each hair, the better the transfer of colour.
So get lots of mix on there and make sure it covers all of your hair.
Repeated applications
Henna colour can build up, like coats of varnish. Deeper, darker and richer results can be achieved with more applications.
Other natural colourants
We do four different bricks, each for a different colour effect. They have other natural ingredients added to the henna to create different colours, like ground coffee and indigo. These help you choose from a range of shades from red, through brown to black.
Indigo
Some of our blocks include indigo for darker tones. Indigo can take up to 24 hours to fully develop – so expect the results to darken throughout the next day.
Application
Apply to the nape and base of the neck first and work up towards the front of the head.
Take a pinch of hair at a time, work as much henna into it as you can as you twist it into strands. Do the roots of the hair first and work plenty of henna into the ends last.
Chemically treated hair
You can apply henna to hair that has already been dyed or permed.
Because henna acts as a coating to the hair, it may slow down chemicals penetrating the hair – so you may want to perm hair before you henna, rather than the other way around.
