should henna paste be warm when I will put it on my hairs?(it definately couldn't be warm after 2 hours of soaking...)???

I use canned coconut milk to make my henna paste. When I apply it, it's room temp, unless I'm applying paste that has been frozen and thawed, then it may be a little chilled. I haven't noticed a difference either way.

It will become dry. Therefore I add mustard oil to keep it moist plus put a plastic bag on. If not it will get hard and dry after the 2 hours in some parts.

Well I actually haven't really tried it with any heat yet. My hair is really frizzy so I spray it on after I wash and wait for it to dry and it comes out soft and silky. But you should put it on before styling and let it dry then style

Hi, when I used this henna I would have my mom help me :) She would use a USED toothbrush and scrub it onto my roots and hair. The more used it is, the better. That's how I apply it onto my hair.

I have the same color hair and used this product. I recommend doing a strand test first. Gather up some of your hair from a hairbrush (it can be a big wad of hair), mix a bit of the henna as per instructions, and put your test hair in the henna. Keep track of the time and check it every 10 minutes (wash the hair off). It will give you a good idea of what you're up against. I left mine on for 20 minutes and the color was definitely red but not flaming red. Everyone's hair is different - so definitely do the strand test first.I documented my henna experience on my blog - complete with pictures. Sedonavortexter is the blog name - search for that word and you'll find it. It's in the 2012 entries.Good luck! I have the same color hair and used this product.

It's just the newness. It will away. If it doesn't then you have it to close to your hair and you need to back away some. It gets really hot and could burn your scalp if not careful.

Hello! I put the henna on wet hair.But you must make sure the henna itself is the right consisitency.Not too thick but more like cake batter.Add more warm water if needed.Also I wrapped my head up in plastic wrap and then a towel over that to keep my head moist.I left mine in for over an hour because I have a lot of gray.Hope that helps you.Rachel

You are right - no instructions were sent and I even checked with my hairdresser and she could not help. I only used it as a curling brush and it barely was hot enough to curl. I consider it a loss. Sorry I can't help.

You mean after you've used it to color your hair? Absolutely, henna is kind of like a hair "stain" so heat doesn't affect it. High heat might make the color fade a little faster, but that's true of any hair color. It also might make it bleed the color more if you use heat on it within a few days of coloring your hair, which chemical hair color does not do. It's also going to smell a bit herby/earthy, but not in a bad way. This stops after three or four washes. I really like henna for coloring my hair, it leaves it thicker and softer. Do remember that you cannot use checmical hair color after you use henna, because henna coats the hair shaft and chemical color won't cover it. So once you henna, you always have to henna, unless you get your hair stripped or until your hair has grown out. Hope this helps!

The quick answer I have is that it depends on two things: what color your hair is now, & how you prepare the henna. I highly recommend the techniques in this free henna book pdf.(maybe skip the first part which is history, the good stuff is a little ways down) http://www.hennaforhair.com/freebooks/hennaforhair.pdf I have used the technique twice now and am not at all disappointed like I have been with past hennas where I just boiled the water etc... Anyway, they will show you before and after pics of different types and colors of hair which helps a lot! Plus the lemon juice overnight thing works so well, my hair has stayed so well since I did it with this Silk and Stone (but I did a mix cus I have dark hair and wanted more dark auburn) I still get compliments, so this particular powder should do you very well assuming you use a good technique. Hope it helps you as much as it helped me =)

It can get pretty hot, it depends on your heat tolerance. Sometimes I don't let it sit near my scalp because it can get hot.

I was wondering the same thing. Depends how thick and lucious your hair is. I have thin hair, same length and I bought two thinking I would need at least 1 1/2 according to instructions. But I always have some Henna mixture left, even with one packet.

Request replacement from Amazon (yours is defective). Mine defaults to 390 degrees when first turned on and it's a perfect temp. You can decrease or increase (for wet hair) from there. Btw: after a few months of owning, I still love using this Shine Therapy model. Return yours, and you'll see for yourself.

Absolutely! I have. As long as you're absolutely positive it had no additives.(metals)..if it was from henna maiden yes. If your still scared. Try it or on hair from your hair brush. Fyi though it might come out orange depending on what color...green if you died it with black henna

I have used Henna for my eyebrows, and it does work. I pre mix very little and store in the frig. The longer the mixture sits the more red color comes out.

It worked for me. My hair is thick and curly and was very dry. Using this is so easy you don't have to mix and let stand for hours . When you rise out the henna I didn't have that strong henna odor. And my hair doesn't feel like it's coated . This is the best my hair as looked in years and it covers the gray well. I was using a red henna. The front and top where I had bangs was bright red I felt like a rooster. I love this henna

I just put about a palm full of it on my hair after shampooing and run it through my ends. The packaging says to leave it on for 3-5 minutes but I leave it on for longer so it can really penetrate my dry ends. I personally put a shower cap on and keep it in for about an hour or so. And then rinse with cold water, dry and style like normal:) and your hair will feel amazing!

500F, it heats up fast, but it too, damage the hair. My advice would be to not use the highest heat especially if you have fine- normal hair.
