Can I get dark brown with this henna dye?

Yes, but you have to use Indigo or black walnut hull powder to get it. It also depends on what your original color is.

Yes you can, if you're planning on sticking with henna for the long run because if you do, if you dye your hair with chemical color it could ruin your hair. Which is what chemical dyes do anyway. But henna is really healthy and if you have light highlights the color could be more red depending on the color.

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 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.

You can always darken your hair with henna. Just be sure to wash out any conditioners, styling products, etc. before applying the henna. And add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your henna when you mix it. Helps the color take better. Henna will not lighten your hair, its just herbs.

Hi, in our experience, you should have no problem using a chemical color after using our henna. Our products are 100% natural with no chemicals or metallic salts. It seems products in the past contained these which is why people still suggest you cannot go back to chemicals.

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

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!

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!

You've bought the wrong product. Henna (lawsonia inermis) ONLY colors hair in various shades of red, depending on your base color. It doesn't come in any other colors, will not lighten hair, and is permanent. On the other hand, you can mix henna with various herbs (i.e. indigo, cassia) to achieve various shades. What color were you going for?

I don´t mix the henna with any other powder. I prepare the henna 24 hrs. before I intend to apply it. I mix the henna powder with hot water and tablespoon of lime juice to make a thick paste. Covers grays very well, color turns into a dark copper tone.

Deep Red Henna would turn your Platinum blonde hair to Red/Orange with first application, you will have to apply it couple of times to get deep/wine red, Henna dyes do not lighten the black hair, so you will not see much change on your black hair, but if you continue using deep red, after few applications, you will see uniform look all over your hair. Thank you.

My hair is a dark red... Intense dark red. I would say that this is most likely the color you're looking for as long as you read up on how to dye your hair with henna. If you make the mistake of washing the color after dying it, you could end up with orange. Study and then try.. I love my hair now!

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.

When my hair was dark, it only vaguely added a reddish tint to it that did not last long. It was only when I had lightened my hair that the henna made my hair red.

My hair is dark brown as well and this henna gives me a beautiful red glow. It enriches my my natural color and any ..... er grays ..... are now red.

you can mix colors but you will have to test it on your hair for length of time to leave it and results. Just like regular hair color, it "takes" differently on grey as opposed to brown hair. I notice that it is very hard to get color in the few white hairs I have... If you have used henna before, you know this is a long process. Using some type of acid as an activator is often helpful.
