From the reviews I have read, yes and my experience I also have dark drown, I saw my hair color change a bit, like redish highlights... You are able to tell in the sun light that my color was changing...Hope this helps!

No. Mine is still beautiful and Auburn !! It will actually make the color look more rich. Remember, a little goes a long way.

I didn't notice any color change. But I a severe allergic itchy scalp from it so I threw it away after 3 weeks of use. It took me that long to develop the annoying itch and determine that Vatika was the cause of the itch.

I don't see why not. The color may come out differently then what you are wanting. I would go into a salon and let them know you have been using henna and want to color your hair with something else. Is that what you were asking?

Yes! I mix lemon juice with henna (40 g for short hair), let it sit overnight, then in the morning just before applying it, I add 40 g indigo with warm water to the mixture. The color turns out dark brown with a tint of red. My hair is naturally medium/dark brown. It works great!

Speaking for me. I have dark hair. It appears to be the same color. I don't detect that it has darkend my hair, nor has it made it lighter. I generally use it as a hot oil treatment overnight. Sorry, don't know how much help I was to you.

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.

When I have done the two step process with henna and indigo I have gotten a dark brown/black that never fades, I can't dye over it or beach it out, it is just stuck. I have also done the one step process (where henna and indigo are mixed) to make brown.So is your goal to have brown hair or black? My short answer is yes, you can use indigo to get the red out. I would do all of your hair so the color would be consistent.

I used the "dark brown formula" and it just accents my dark brown hair; there is no red at all. They have different herbal formulas. order the one you want and read the instructions - if you add salt or vinegar, it will affect the results in different ways.

This Henna can be used for body art/design as well as for hair darkening. It gives a dark red/orange stain (not bright green) and when used along with Indigo powder, it gives a near black coloring.

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.

my hair is naturally light brown, and when I used the henna for the first time it did give me the deep red that I wanted. I would recommend for you to leave it as long as you can, the longer you keep it on the deeper the red is. The longest I've left it on is 3 hrs and it was a nice deep red, maybe the color you want. good luck!

I have no experience with this brand of henna, so not quite sure why Amazon asked if I could answer this question...lol...but my hair is a very dark brown, almost black, and when I use henna my hair never turned a noticeable orange or red color...I could see it, but it toned down after the color oxidized. It still looks dark brown. So, if this brand turned your hair red, and not auburn, I would have to wonder what dyes are being used along with the henna in this mixture. Henna only dyes orange, not red. What you could do is try amla. Amla is used if I remember correctly to cool down the orange in henna, giving a cool brown, as in a not warm brown. Indigo with henna is usually used for a blue-black type shade. But since I'm worried that this isn't pure henna since it gave you a red, maybe you could buy both indigo and amla and test with some hair from your brush or comb and see if there's any odd color reactions before doing your whole head. Or maybe check out some of the darker shades this company offers and do the same with your shed hairs.

My hair is actually color treated! Light brown too. No it didn't darken my hair at all. I'm at the end of my bottle and since I've gotten it I've seen at least 2 inches of growth though, so I'm getting the roots re-colored soon. And no redness either. I just put a little bit on my head at night, wrap it up and keep it moving.

I have a darker brown hair that has a reddish tint to it naturally and my hair turned out beautifully. It is a dark reddish brown with dark red highlights. Mine did turn out about the color on the package. since your hair is lighter it should be a lighter result. They do have a variety of colors including different reds. Hope I helped somewhat.

It doesn't stain a dark color. But it is henna and will leave a grayish hue if you leave it on your skin directly. You shouldn't have a problem with your scalp. If your rub a little vaseline on your hairline you should be okay. Wear a shower cap and you can even roll toilet paper around your hairline to prevent dripping and smearing.

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.

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!
