Does it zap the volume from your hair? When I used to use pure henna &amp; indigo I had really flat (albeit healthy) hair.

My hair is thin and very straight. For me the henna coats the hair making it look thicker. I imagine if I ever had body in my hair it might weigh it down.

I find that it does make my hair feel weighed down the day after I use it. More the one for dry hair than the volume one. I don't find that it gives very good volume though. My hair is very fine.

Pure henna - Lawsonia Inermis - doesn't come in different shades. Because henna releases only one pigment (red!), it cannot lighten your hair and if your natural color is almost black, henna certainly isn't going to give you the same shade on the package. If this DOES happen, you're not using pure henna. And there's nothing wrong with that, if that's what you choose. I just don't want people to make a decision based on bad info. The eventual shade will depend on three things: your natural hair color, the liquid you use to mix your paste, and how long you leave it on your hair. Adding cassia will lighten the eventual shade, and adding indigo will darken your hair. Google is your friend, and it's best to get an idea of how it works and what it can and can't do before you commit. Good luck in your Henna Journey!

My roots didn't respond well to the henna. Gray turned a bit orangey. I loved the conditioning the henna gave to my hair, however, I'd have to maybe get tips on how to get better coloring for my gray

I have thick, kinky hair and it calms it down but doesn't straighten. When I flat iron, it stays put, even in humidity. For me, my texture is better. I don't think it loses volume. The effect is cumulative. The more you do it, the straighter it gets

My hair is dyed and I never had any problems. Full disclosure, I did switch to WEN after a couple of months because the smell was driving me so crazy (lots of people like it, it's just not for me). However, I felt like if anything, my hair was healthier with this than with normal shampoos and conditioners, and I live in a desert, so if something is not nourishing my hair enough it starts getting dry really quickly! I was using Loreal dye at the time, as well.

I'm not a hair dresser; I'm a 50-ish strawberry blond w/minimal grey, so take this for what it's worth. I use this as a rinse monthly to give my hair shine, the red some oomph & make grey blend. If you have lots of grey, red henna is not for you.

From what I understand henna does not do too well with gray hair. Because it does not have its own pigment anymore, it absorbs all of the henna color rather than the henna tinting your actual hair color.

I used this to tone down the blond color of my hair. You apply it after you wash your hair and don't rinse it out. I applied it to my hair in the shower as it is very runny. It worked ok for me. It has a very subtle effect - hardly noticeable. It washes out when when you wash your hair.

What oil and how much lemon juice? I would try a deep conditioner, either home made, with something like argan or jojoba oil, or a good commercial one. Sounds like your hair dried out too much, which is not typical for henna. This henna already has amla in it, which provides the sour/acid component to develop the color. You really didn't need the lemon juice.

It does if you leave it on 2 to 3 hours and prep your hair first, also I have used either coffee or black tea to mix with the henna instead of water. You prep your hair by making a paste out of baking soda & water, the ratio is approximately 1/2 baking soda and a little less than 1/2 water. After washing your hair, towel dry then apply this paste especially at the roots and where your gray hair is, leave this on for 10 minutes and rinse your hair until it no longer feels grainy. This is a natural way to open the hair cuticle a little so it takes the color better. Dry your hair, now apply the henna and cover your hair with a plastic bag & leave it on for as long as you can. I've also added about 15 minutes of heat toward the end either a hot towel or heat cap. It works great and really conditioned my hair while looking natural with high & low lights and lasts quite a while.

This worked for me on my hennaed hair! I only use 100% lab tested henna and some indigo and cassia. After 2 applications I've gone from deep cherry ends to medium coppery ends and my roots are almost back to my original color with just a slight coppery tint. I'm going to try 2 more applications to try to even out the roots and ends.

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's just like a relaxer, only not as strong. The chemicals in the texturizer breaks down the bonds in your hair in order to loosen your curls/coils. You can try Henna as an alternative if you don't want to use chemicals. It can loosen your hair texture over time, but it's natural and healthy for your hair. Always do your research before using any product that could potentially damage your hair.

I have natural strawberry blond in the summer. This does nothing for me except make my hair flat - and I think the henna makes it darker and takes out the red, which is what henna is often used for. I just don't think it works, but reviews dramatically vary.

I was told that the volumizing gives more body, but the moisture one is for dry/damaged hair. I colour my hair and my hair is relatively healthy - i was told to use the volume shampoo and the moisture conditioner. I just find moisture shampoos tend to weigh my hair down a bit.
