Best hair color I have ever used, and I've been coloring my hair 40 years! I had to stop using chemicals when my immune system started to freak out, probably because I was getting old, but, whatever...anyway, my hair was falling out, my skin itched, my thyroid was off kilter, so after going to the doctor, etc. I had to find an alternative to chemical hair dye.
I tried to go white naturally, but it really made me look bad, old and sad. I admire gray haired women and usually think they look fabulous, but I'm so pale (and old) that I looked like Whistler's mother (check out the painting on google). It was getting depressing, losing my hair, what was left turning white, feeling weird and brittle...
Finally I turned back to henna. I had tried it in the 70s, but the screaming punk red looked hideous on me. Everyone that tried it looked the same way, plus when I used it again, it did not cover my gray. I went on utube, and found out that you need real, pure, ORGANIC henna. Also, you have to mix it with lemon juice to release the dye for 24 hours. I found great videos of people doing the messy henna thing, wearing a giant mud pack of henna on their head all night and then getting fab hair. I decided to try it, going red, then dying it darker with indigo so I didn't look bright pink or stop sign red. When I mixed the henna and lemon juice, I spontaneously added half a jar of espresso powder to cover the smell. Then lost track and it sat for 2 whole days. I finally turned my long frail hair into a giant bee hive shaped henna clay structure, wrapping it in plastic and a towel. I did not sleep in it. It was heavy, hot and gross. I lasted 4 hours and hit the showers. I used Aveda Clove conditioner to ease the crap out of my hair and finally unveiled it. It looked beautiful. Not fake, not weird or bright, just a perfect deep red with golden brown highlights and lowlights. It was the first time my hair looked at all natural since I was 13. Everywhere I went people told me how lovely my hair was. My husband loved it, my friends said I looked rested and not old (friends are great!). Plus, I didn't have to do it again for almost three months! This one 20 dollar bag of henna has lasted me months and months (the bottle of lemon juice cost 1 dollar). At my old salon, it is $150 plus to get hair dyed and then there are touch ups every few weeks, ka ching!! If you are at all hesitating, don't. This stuff is the best. 20 dollars to look like a goddess. Best value on Amazon....

It worked great on my hair!
I purchased this for my hair and it works! I purchased it about a month ago and it came 2 days before the expected date. I wanted to use it a couple times before I reviewed it so I could give legit feedback cause I've read some of the other reviews and they were biased so I want to be crystal clear on what I say as this is someone's business. So let's get to it!First, it does have an expiration date and it's a new crop (I've inserted pictures to validate this). It comes in a clear package which is wrapped in the see-through foil package that is resealable. Therefore, it is sent as viewed. However, I placed it in a super large ziplock bag for extra protection so if any is spilled it's not wasted.I used it the first time mixed with bentonite clay in my hair mask. It didn't cover my grays but I expected that since I mixed it 50/50 with the clay. Nevertheless, my hair felt great after. Just remember to deep condition after henna and/or bentonite to prevent the dry brittle feeling!The second time I used it alone with my other ingredients in the hair mask and my grays came out coppery red. They'll darken after a few days. Hoping for a deep red, so I mixed it with hibiscus tea instead of plain water. The rest of my hair came out deep red/burgundy color. Once again, deep condition afterwards.
