I dyed my hair couple of month ago using chemical hair dye. Can I use Henna on top of that? Thanks

All henna products recommend to wait at least 2 to 3 months to use after a chemical dye especially bleaching. I waited 3 months after bleaching my hair. Henna only changes your hair slightly and does not change your actual hair color. Henna gives you great highlights to your natural color and does a great job at covering gray. However, henna takes 3 to 4 times of use before you notice results & must be left on longer then one hour. Good news, you can apply henna every 2 to 3 weeks and the highlights increase with each application. Hope this advice helped...

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.

Hello! I put the henna on wet hair.But you must make sure the henna itself is the right consisitency.Not too thick but more like cake batter.Add more warm water if needed.Also I wrapped my head up in plastic wrap and then a towel over that to keep my head moist.I left mine in for over an hour because I have a lot of gray.Hope that helps you.Rachel

After consulting Mehandi, using indigo alone may/may not stick depending on your hair condition, particularly mineral content. Indigo alone would be permanent but does not bond as "well" as henna. I ordered mid-grade indigo with cmc to get the blue/purple/green for the bottom/back layer.

I tried the brown henna package. My hair is dark, and my roots are gray. For me, it made my roots a reddish/gold tint, which I don't like. I liked the conditioning aspect of it. Hope this helps

Also, since you are using a the light brown mix to achieve this color they mix a proportion of henna with a proportion of indigo. I don't know how familiar you are with henna but straight henna should be mixed the night before and let sit over night to allow to dye to release to its maximum. Indigo does not need this and will fade so it must be used once mixed or soon after mixed to achieve the desired results. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that and didn't let it sit over night because in that case you would not get the results you wanted.

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

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.

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.

No, it's 100% pure henna powder. I use it to dye my hair; can't have any additives in the henna for that.

I think 1 pack should be enough but it really depends how long is your hair. I have shoulder length hair and I only used 1/2 pack. I don't know about mixing but I guess that would work. One thing I found out about Henna is that color doesn't stay long at the 1st time of using. I did a 2nd dyeing few weeks later and that lasted much longer.

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 have long blonde/light brown and have never used henna. But, this definitely worked immediately for brassiness from highlights. It also made my hair feel healthier, which surprised me.

You might want to use a little wine red if you are looking for some red highlights. Also remember lemon juice or vinegar helps bring out the red in the henna.

I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black. The colors are misrepresented. There is too much indigo powder in the browns and your hair will be black and there is no way to remove it. I tried Prell, Head and Shoulders shampoo, which are very harsh and usually strip color from hair. I applied 100% pure henna 3 days apart for 4 hours each time and finally noticed a tiny reddish tone. Customer service rep told me the colored packets like light brown and medium brown which I also ordered should never be used over henna hair and it was my mistake. They advised me to go to a salon or wait for it to grow out; hardly solutions to the problem.

I don't use shampoo... not a big fan of it, I only use conditioner to get it out. Henna hair color will take 2 to 3 days to oxidize and reach its final color, I don't know if immediate shampooing will affect that but not being a shampoo fan I prefer not to take the risk. Also, check out sites like The Long Hair Community, they have a huge forum with Tons of info regarding henna and hair all based on personal experiences

I have very long, thick, dark hair and 1 packet (100g) was enough. Realize that you also need Henna powder to finish your dying process. Make sure you leave the paste in for at least as long as the directions say. Because this is natural, leaving it in your hair longer will not damage your hair, it will only make the dye stronger.

It can be used on relaxed hair. Henna turns grey hairs a reddish-orange color. Bleached hair may or may not turn an appealing color. I recommend a strand test before coloring bleached hair. Take a strand of the bleached colored hair, apply the henna mix to it, let it stand for 4 hours, rinse and see what color you get. Let me know I would be interested in knowing the final results.
