Yes it is. Surya Henna is semi-permanent, coating the hair with plant-based dyes. I was using Herbatint for years and immediately switched over to Surya with no problems whatsoever. Be sure to fully coat the hair and wait the recommend time, especially for gray hair, to be sure you get adequate coverage.

Henna might react oddly with chemically color treated hair. I'm sure it would work, but precede with cation. Perhaps do strand testing first?

Henna will stain hair and skin orange-red only. Depending on your base hair color and where the henna is from, you will get different red tones (with Rajasthani henna, my grays and silvers come out as burgundy highlights; on the rest of my hair it's deep auburn). If you mix the henna with quality indigo, you will not get as much of a red tone. Henna does dry the hair out the first two or three times, but I've found citric acid (can be purchased in bulk in many places) cuts down on that considerably. Use 3 grams for every 50 grams of henna.

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.

Yes! As long as your hair is dark before you use the henna it will work perfectly. When I did mine my roots were dark and the rest of my hair a light light red. When I used the henna my the dark sections of my hair turned out like they should have, burgundy but the light parts did turn orange. I kept it this way because it's like an unintentional ombré. Make sure your hair is all one color and dark and you should be fine. Also, you might want to get two packs. It took me two colorings to really get it to where I wanted.

I did! I henna'd my hair for the first time, and a couple of weeks later realized it was way too dark for me so I tried a light brown permanent color and it worked fine.no problems whatsoever.

I buy the generic Biolage shampoo and conditioner at Sally's that's safe for color treated hair. I use Ion deep conditioning pack once a week (also get at Salley's)..leave it on while I sleep with plastic shower cap over it to keep head warm. The color has yet to fade. I get compliments weekly since changing to henna.

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.

This is a light color and it is a warm tone but I think you will find it to be more red When applied over blonde hair. After about a week it will settle down into a lighter auburn color. If you have never done henna before application can be kind of tricky. I can give you a few helpful tips if you would like please email me at Echorunner@Live.com

Okay leave it on as long as you can stand it, at least 3 hours.I recommend Henna sooq henna . You have to let the dye release but I could see on my grey hairs a vibrant red color.The henna maiden washed out very easily, you will see it in the water each time you shampoo your hair.

I did. I went to the Salon first. My hair was bleached and then dyed a mocha. The bleach did not lift much of the henna at that point I was asked what red I used for my hair. My dresser was dissapointed that I didn't let her know I used henna as she said it was impossible to remove. I hated the brassy color I was left with came home and dyed my hair an ashy color and the toned and dyed again. My hair has broken in areas. I made a mess of my hair. If you used henna color I highly recommended you do not dye over it. If you get tired of it let it grow out!

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.

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.

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.....

It depends on how light your hair is. BUT, pretty much as soon as you put it in it will start to color your hair....Your best bet would be to look up what to mix with this henna to make it more your natural color. There are tea's, coffee, even other powers that will help keep some of the red down :) hope this helps!

Yes. It gave me really beautiful burgundy color, but the secret is that you need to stay with the henna as long as you can. I stayed with the henna for 14 hours/ on the weekend/ and got amazing results.

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
