This product did not work for me. I do not recall any washing instructions, I do however recall an odor. I would wash my hair.

Fortunately, I don't have very much gray, so when the application washes out there's not much difference except that my color is richer with the Herbashine. But I would say that it's mostly gone after 2 months, washing my hair an average of 3 times per week.

Your hair will turn black, or very dark brown. I don't know if you are using indigo alone or not, if you are, then your hair will turn brown, if you use Henna, another natural hair dye, before the indigo, then use the indigo afterwards, your hair will turn black or very dark brown. Usually people like myself use the Henna first, then I use the indigo right after, this turns my hair jet black. If you are looking to dye your hair black, I think it's best to use Henna and Indigo. And if your hair is long, than you should use the whole packet, or at least half the packet.

My hair grows fast, so an application lasts me about 3-4 weeks, much like other hair dyes. If you leave the surya in your hair long enough when applying, it does a very good job of covering gray. I've not had problems with fading so much as my hair growing out. (I use black). Oh! there is a little bit that rubs off on pillowcases and the top of my white blouses, but not much. I try to really rinse well and I wash my hair a couple of times per week.

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!

Great Hair Day will cover NEW GROWTH of gray hair pretty well; however, keep in mind that the product is a powder so does not give shine to your hair where it has been applied so you would not want to use it from your roots to the ends, for example. I use this product every time I shampoo my hair. I have mostly gray hair which I have salon colored routinely, and I blend Great Hair Day up onto my new growth after each shampoo. I like the results and I feel it disguises the 'demarcation' between my gray and the colored portion pretty well. It gives me more time between the salon color process. I highly recommend this product.

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.

No, it actually enhances the gray so if you want to cover it use a brown or black shampoo

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

Be sure not to use any conditioner after you wash your hair before coloring. That seems to make a difference for me anyway!

You shouldn't need to. I only use this when I get my hair colored. After my color I use the prism. I either sit under the best for about 30 minutes or I put on freshly rinsed hair after color application and leave on for 4 hours then rinse. No shampoo.

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.

No, It wont dye dark brown hair as deep red and if you continue using it like 2 times a month after 3-4 applications should get Dark/Blackish Red, Henna based hair dyes will color your gray/blonde hair to the color purchased. but if you can lighten your hair color somehow to brunette, it can surely get you deep red as in the picture.

Yes. This is just a rinse, not a dye. It's like applying colored water to your hair. It's not greasy or thick. No stain and rinses out. You can even dab it on gray roots to postpone dying your hair as often.

Lacee, it works on my blonde hair, I have roots too and I've never seen any gray or white residue. It goes on matte and you just work it thru and brush your hair well afterwards.

The medium brown does cover gray but it matters how many times a week you wash your hair as to how long it will last. Mine lasts about 4-5 weeks but it has made my fine hair much thicker feeling. I wish I had started using this product 10 years ago. The lack of ammonia and peroxide will keep your hair on your head, where it belongs, and not on your brush or in the sink!

I'm medium-brown skinned with black hair and it works great for me. It's taking longer than they estimated, but great. I think the instructions and the website says that it may not work on grey hair that well, but definitely check because I'm not well versed in that area. Good luck!
