Jamila Pure Natural Henna Powder For Hair Dye/Color, 100 grams

First off, many people don’t understand henna and have no clue about it so they review incorrectly. This will work for skin or hair if done correctly. Below are a few things to understand. Henna that is pure can one produce one color and that’s a ginger orange to auburn color. This is real henna. The only difference in this and the body one is the sift which won’t matter much. I poured two boxes out one that’s the BAQ and this one. They were the same. You aren’t getting black henna for skin or hair anywhere. It has to be MIXED with indigo. When a company offers many shades of henna it has things added. Next, this is a progressive dye. It takes 3 days to a week to fully darken. You’ll have a light orange stain at first and it will develop into a darker richer stain as the days go. You need to follow directions closely. You need to allow this to SIT AND CURE COVERED BY PLASTIC for 6 hours before you use it. Any pure henna will be the same. If it didn’t work then they probably didn’t make it correctly. People adding lemon OR vinegar and trying to use it as soon as it’s a paste will be dissapointed. If you bought henna that was black or worked right away then it was adulterated. This gave a deep beautiful stain to the skin. My hair went a beautiful natural auburn. I am a natural redhead and I like to deepen the color. Henna looks so natural. I suggest you absolutely coat the whole head after preparing it and letting it sit and then cover the head with plastic and go to sleep in it. You need to wash it out with conditioner and then leave it alone for three days before you wash or use products. This made my hair silky smoothe and soft. This is the best on the market. You need to google what to do and how to prepare to know what you are doing. I only use water with mine and I let it cute for 6 full hours. It’ll change from green to a orange brown and you can save extra for next time or henna glaze. Skin henna is gonna be a pretty orange brown and will be very deep and visible if done right. You can’t be a first timer and guess and then complain on the product. I have used jamila for years and it’s great. This is the same as the other box except it’s sifted a little less which makes no difference IMO and you can sift it again if you want. THIS CANT PRODUCE ANY OTHER STAIN THAN GINGER! Remember to mix with indigo for a darker stain because this is pure. If You want red red you need to add other things. Pure henna is only one color. Most hennas that offer different colors are made with metallic dye and will be damaging. Real pure henna can be coloured over and this is the good stuff. I love it. One box was enough to do my entire head of very thick boob length hair. I showed a measuring cup for reference so you can see how much is in one box. That amount is almost triple when prepared. It should be a paste and should be pudding consistency. I use hot water to prepare and cover with plastic wrap and leave alone for 6 hours until it changes from green to that day old gauc look. Then it’s ready! This stained my hand for two months when I had a hole in the glove I applied it with. It does skin just fine.

I've been using Henna for over 10years, and it does an amazing job at dying my gray hairs. I use it only to dye my gray hairs. I've heard about Henna years ago on a natural hair forum. It doesn't have any harsh chemicals in it. I love how it is a natural hair dye that doesn't damage my natural hair. It gives my gray hair a nice beautiful reddish tint to it. The outcome is well worth it although it could be kind of messy mixing the henna up. When mixing it up, I just put any cheap conditioner in it like vo5, so it can be less drying to my hair and possibly add a little moisture to it. I also, put a teaspoon of any oil in it, and then mix it with warm water from the faucet. It then becomes a creamy paste like for an example pudding, so it shouldn't be too watery or runny!! I leave the henna on my hair for 2 hours, to give it time to penetrate. I mix the henna powder up the day before I'm going to use it, however, I have used it on my mom's hair on the same day that I had applied it on her hair. I believe the henna last on my hair for at least 2 months until it starts to fade. I wait to do the treatment again every 3 months. Lastly, it strengthens my hair and makes it more healthier and stronger!!

This henna is excellent! It’s smooth and silky (not gritty like some) once mixed with hot water and gives intense but natural looking color. I’ve been using henna since I was 17 and my mother taught me how to use it which I’ll share with you: I use a large wooden bowl I only reserve for henna. When my hair is 3 days unwashed, I take 3 heaping scoops of henna( I just use a plastic coffee scoop), put it into the bowl and mix it with hot water until the consistency is like pancake batter. I then place the bowl into the sink, bend my head towards it and apply the henna onto my dry hair. I then take an ample amount of paper towels to wrap around my head and put a plastic bag over it to keep in the heat and wait one hour before shampooing. If there’s any henna left over, I put it into a container, label it and put it in the freezer. I have medium brown mid length hair with some gray and what happens is the henna comes up one shade lighter on the gray than the rest of my hair which gives totally natural , beautiful looking highlights. The color of this henna has more orange shading. If I decide I want more brownish color, I’ll mix in a scoop of brown henna. If I want a lighter red, I’ll mix in more blonde because i always keep a few shades of henna I can mix for the color I want. I only let this henna stay on one hour for a natural look but if I wanted even more intensity, I would leave it in for two to three hours.

i love this!!! it does exactly what it is supposed to do....i just wish i knew where i can find it now. it seems like it has disappeared from the face of the earth :(

First of all, this is my favorite henna brand. I have been buying it for years and you can tell by my fingers in the pictures that is has a beautiful DEEP red stain. But this batch that was sent to me expires in four months?! Meaning, the old bag I bought 3 years ago is technically fresher than this new bag. Expired henna doesn’t produce that super deep red/black stain on your skin. Instead, it produces more of a lack luster, pale orange to light brown color stain. It kinda bums me out. But in the end I can’t complain to much. After all, it was only 8 bucks and some change. P.S. this is my recipe to get that super dark red/black stain. You need: 1/4th cup Henna powder 1/4th cup Freshly squeezed Myers lemon juice 1.5 teaspoons Lavender oil 1.5 teaspoons Sugar Bowl and plastic wrap In a bowl mix 1/4th cup henna powder with 1/4th cup fresh Myer lemon juice. I dont know why but Myer lemons work better for a darker stain. Mix both lemon juice and henna powder till it resembles the consistency of mashed potatoes. Then add 1.5 teaspoons of sugar and 1.5 teaspoons of lavender oil. Stir till silky. Cover with plastic wrap and let henna paste sit over night under a warm lamp for 24 hours. After 24hours you will see the top layer of your henna turn super dark. Dont worry, that is what you want to happen. That dark layer is the henna ink/stain. When it is done resting, uncover henna, stir it and you are finally ready to go! The stain is soooo dark that sometimes it looks almost black!! keep covered with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. It will last about a week and a half. Hope this helps!

The product was easy to.use to get full grey coverage. Once the instructions on the package were followed, this resulted in a beautiful reddish copper tone. No problems ,no hassle, leaving it overnight worked well for me. I'm using the indigo as a two step process to get the blue black tone. The expirary date on the package is June2026, Which give me enough time to use out the remaining product.A great quality product, which delivered what it described, I would definitely recommend it.

Using it for several years. Very happy with the quality and price

I have naturally ashy light brown hair. I’ve been dying it red for ages and I was worried that my roots wouldn’t blend if I went over it with henna. The curled photo is the most recent photo of my chemically dyed hair. The straight photo is after 1 henna treatment. I went over that and about 3/4 inch of brown roots and the color is the same, just a bit less faded. Roots blended in perfectly, you can’t even tell I switched to henna. I just mixed with very warm water, let it sit for an hour, and left it overnight because I accidentally fell asleep. I did not even follow directions and it still worked very well. Also the box is prettier than any other henna so I can leave it out on my vanity until it’s time for a touch up.
