Henna Hair Dye

It washed out from my hair very quickly. I am not sure the brand or anything but it certainly wasn't worth the bother. My hair is medium/ dark brown and I dye my hair black as well. The truth is that black hair dye in itself is different from other dyes in the first place. It is very strong and binds into your hair shaft. (As others simply bleach and stick) Thinking back on the Henna and other natural dyes I have tried I wondered what I was thinking in the first place. heh. They are missing the metallic properties that are essential to a lasting black dye.

I have used henna before an it worked pretty good. I find thought that its more of a tint than a dye. For exapmle I have brown hair and if I use golden wheat color henna it doen not turn my hair blownd but giveit a gold over tone. This is what I for about henna on Wikipedia: Henna is a deposit-only hair color whose active component, lawsone, binds to keratin and is therefore permanent. Some state that henna may be removed with mineral oil; however, results vary and it is considered "permanent" because it does not wash out with shampoos or rinses. It is often mixed with other plant dyes, such as indigo, turmeric, and senna, to change the color. Allergy to henna is much rarer than allergy to permanent hair colors. It is also considered a conditioning treatment. Using a plant-based color, specifically henna, can cause problems later when trying to do a permanent wave (perm) and other permanent hair color. Discoloration can occur on hair that has been previously tinted with henna; hennaed hair typically cannot be curled. Breakage could also be an issue. Often, henna leaves hair unable to receive other chemical services within a salon. Hope that is helpful. Oh and by the way, it smells and looks like ground spinach on your head for like an hour, so I dunno if that would bother you or not but jsut letting you know.

i never hair dye my hairs but i use henna to make them black

Lush hennas work differently than dye- dye penetrates the hair shaft, damaging it. Henna coats the shaft, leaving hair fuller, shinier, and healthier, but it doesn't necessarily last as long or produce as dramatic results as dye. I do know a girl who was blond and used Caca Rouge, she now has gorgeous red hair! Another friend had light mousy brown hair and used a combo of Caca brun/marron, her hair is now a beautiful shiny chestnut... I'm not sure what it would look like on blond hair dyed black though...

I've used LUSH's henna dyes before. I found them hard to apply and prepare, and the results were not as good as I thought they would be. Another drawback was the fact that after using henna dye, you cannot recolour your hair using a non-henna dye.

Hiya,I use the CaCa Maroon. Makes my hair a very dark chestnutty colour. I am naturally dark with a few grey streaks at my temple which turn a stunning gold colour.

i used a red henna hair dye. it didnt last very long. I truthfully don't remember the name brand either, but i was unimpressed

i dont use hair dye.....
