Hard work but great!

I’ve been using lush henna for nearly a year. Decided to make the switch due to me over bleaching my hair over the years which resulted in dry and brittle hair. Lush henna saved my hair. It has grown for the first time in years (without breaking off!) it leaves hair soft and nourished. However it is a lot of work compared to normal box dyes and does take a couple of hours plus.

Good Natural Option for Hair Dye

I used this on my mother's hair post-chemo and it definitely did the job we were looking for. Being Henna, it does not come out evenly or last too long but because there are not chemicals in it it is expected. To create the hair dye it has to be added with boiling water. I did find other natural hair dyes that are already mixed I am looking forward to try out but for now this hair dye is good enough

I tried this because I wanted to try something new, but not something SUPER drastic that would damage my hair. The henna made my hair softer and shinier and it REALLY has staying power. As in, you won't be able to get the red out, EVEN if you go to a professional to lift the colour. The only way it's gone is when it has TOTALLY GROWN OUT! So, if you're looking for long lasting colour, go for it. The longer you leave the henna in, the richer the colour will turn out.

I was always tempted to try this product. I was at the mall one day and bought it on a whim. I wasn't interested in chemically dying my hair but was interested in Henna since its all natural. It was a bit messy to put on and it litterally looks like you have crap on your head. You also have to wait about 2 hours so you need to do it on a lazy sunday afternoon or something like that. Also...make sure you get it all out in the shower. You may even need to shampoo your hair to get it all out. The and product is pretty good though. My hair is really shiny and healthy looking and has a deep red highlight. Its not too intense but in the light it really stands out! (My hair is dark brown to begin with) There are other colours available as well!
