My hair was bleach-blonde until I used natural henna, which turned it a red-orange color. I'm looking to go a bit darker, will this color work?

I think it will, it doesn't last 8 week as they say....I did 4 weeks ago, I'll prob need to color again next week. Not sure this is worth the mess.

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.

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

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.

It will give dark brown hair a red hue. It is quite popular these days. Our products cannot lighten hair, as that takes nasty chemicals including bleach and peroxide. Our product does not contain these ingredients, so the Henna Maiden Natural Red will not lighten your hair, but give it a beautiful red hue, and if you have any grey/white hair, that will turn into red highlights in your dark brown hair. Simply, it will look gorgeous, shiny, healthy, and all from a safe plant based product that is natural and not tested on animals. Thank you for asking!

It might not turn out the same as if you didn't use henna so it's not recommended but I don't think there's any harm in it... I llightened a friends hair after henna, and it didn't take all the color out, it made it kind of brassy so I had To go over it twice.. Henna is kind of a commitment but it is possible to dye over it.....

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.

Mine came out nearly black, it did have a slight blue tint to it, but it was pretty dark. Better than normal henna where it comes out reddish brown

Yes u can, whatever color your getting (If your hair was colored blonde) the color will really pop & you'll be able 2 see it clearly. If not, is won't lift it tht much. Henna is juss a stain/dye, a color on top of color. But the color brightens after a few days once it oxidizes.

It would be possible but also troublesome. Using just this product will give you an orange-red shade so you would have to use indigo after. This would require testing to see how long you would have to leave on the henna and then the indigo to get the shade you desire.

Depends how much gray you have. Beware that the grey will pick up the red exclusively/ If you use RED henna, the drk brown is beautiful with red shading. But if you are grey you need to go 1 shade deeper, like chestnut. I used the RED on my daughters dark brown hair [ long] and she got a ton of compliments. If you are a little worried about to much red, just mix the henna with strong coffee, which is what I used to do when I worked in a salon . Henna does not lighten your hair, it only deposits color. Also the timing determines how bright it is. Keep the color on for only 45 minutes . Another factor is mixing the color and letting it set. If you mix and let it set for 1 1/2 to 3 hours before applying, your color will be redder. So if you mix the RED with strong lukewarm coffee and apply it to WET hair , let it set on your hair with a bag for 45 minutes , than rinse out, apply conditioner like it is shampoo[ this will help it set and will still clean your hair] you will have a knockout gorgeous color that will NOT be too red. Just some tips from someone that has done this many times[ still a successful hairdresser too.]Would love to hear how your hair looks afterwards!

I use Indigo. I don't like the brassy orange so now I'm toning it down with the Indigo. Then, use 3 - 4 times the Indigo as the Henna. Hope this helps.

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.

The longer you leave the dye in the richer the red you'll get. I have almost brown hair and so my results are much darker. The lighter you are the color seems to stand out more vibrantly in my opinion. Especially with hi-lights. The color will bleed for a good week but will eventually slow down. Try to use some lavender oil to make the smell a little better. The more you dye your hair the richer the color you get. I've actually mixed different henna reds and get radical results. Its up to you tho. I've been using henna for a year and it never ever fades. I will always use it.It also helps to get a good deep conditioner to make your hair easier to brush through. Just remember to rinse hair thoroughly, as long as possible henna is hard to get out and makes your scalp itch. I also buy my own gloves, the ones that come in the package suck, their too big and cheap. Best of luck .

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.

At first...just like any other hair color or dye. You have to put it on thick anyway, and it won't stain your hair line as you would think of the traditional henna (I based my hairline with vaseline to protect it anyway), so just remember to apply it thick to cover your gray - like mud!! It's worth it if you are trying to move away from chemicals. The color is subtle at first, but is vibrant as time goes on and especially in natural light. I do find however, that the gray does come thru the color - it's very strong - and if you use the auburn, your gray will look kind of orangey after a while. At least mine did!

I can't answer this positively, but based on another answer that the henna color came back sounds like it did work. I had to do the whole process a total of three times to remove all the dye from my hair. The first two times the color did come back after a few days, but the third time was the charm and the dark color dye did not return. You do have to follow all directions as stated to make this work. Again I used this on permanent hair dye and not henna. Good luck.
