Surya Brasil Henna Cream Black - 96% Natural Ingredients, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Eco-Friendly, Semi-Permanent Hair Color, Deep Hydration & Shine, 2.37 oz

Years ago I developed an allergy to a chemical that exists in nearly every hair dye (and other dye products, including tattoo ink) on the market called PPD. Some countries have actually banned the use of this in tattoo ink now due to the fact that about 25% if the population can develop a serious allergy to this chemical, as I found out after it sent me to the ER the last time I went to the hair salon to get my hair dyed using a product with PPD in it (just a standard hair dye). For awhile I was really disappointed, thinking I couldn't ever dye my hair again. Not a tragedy, but disgruntling. Then I began to try Henna products, but most of them are very messy or take a lot of prep work to make happen, and my stylist didn't want to deal with them. Until I found this gem. Not only is it organic, but it's super easy to use, even on my own from home (as I discovered during Covid). More importantly, it's simple enough that my stylist is fine with using it, and now I can get my hair cut and colored by her as I used to do, just using this product, which is delivered similar to how most hair dyes are in the store. My hair has now gone completely gray, but this product keeps it a vibrant, warm natural Auburn/brown color very close to my original hair color. While with most Henna products you can go very red, this Dark Brown actually keeps my hair that color. And because it's Henna, the way it dyes your hair makes it have natural highlights. Unlike traditional dyes which strip your hair and then "paint" each strand the same color, this works with the various tones that are naturally in your hair and colors them subtly differently so it looks very natural. However, if you don't want to actually color your hair, they also have color-free versions to use just for the health benefits of Henna, which naturally softens and strengthens your hair as well. Since I've been using this product, my hair has gotten healthier and stronger than ever, and makes it so soft. The downside is, of course, you have to apply it far more often than traditional permanent dyes. It is semi-permanent, meaning it will need re-application about every 4 - 6 weeks. However, for me that's about when I need to cover my roots up anyway nowadays, so it doesn't bother me. I do the roots myself at home in between salon visits. It's easy, takes me about an hour, and done. So... if you're looking for a natural organic alternative to hair dye, try this. Even if you're not forced into due to allergies like me, you may find you prefer it, as I do now, just because of how healthy it makes your hair.

I love this hair dye for so many reasons. First off, I was diagnosed with cancer last year. As you can imagine, this shook up my world. It made me re-think a lot of what I do. Initially, I planned to let my hair go and turn grey. But I couldn't do it. I wasn't ready to. I decided that I didn't want all these boxed chemical dyes on my hair. I tried plain powdered henna, but it was such a mess and I had to leave it on for hours. It also smelled terrible. I had to walk around smelling like that for days. It also tended to make my hair orangish. Then I remembered using this henna cream years ago. This has been the best. Here is why: 1. It doesn't smell. I am sensitive to odors and my daughter has a mast cell disease. Certain odors can cause her to go into anaphylaxis. 2. It feels really good on my hair. It almost feels like a conditioning treatment. 3. There are various natural-looking colors to choose from. My favorite at the moment is chocolate. It is very rich-looking and a beautiful color. 4. It is so easy to apply. There is no mixing needed. It comes in a cream. 5. It covers my grey. It actually makes me look like I have natural highlights where some of the grey is. 6. There are no mineral salts that can damage your hair like regular henna may have. 7. If you don't use all of the dye at one time, you can save it for later (just make sure to take the top off the bottle instead of cutting the applicator tip.) 8. It is way more affordable than getting your hair professionally colored at a salon. 9. It doesn't cause my hair to fall out that chemical dyes do. 10. You can leave it on longer than the time frame suggested for darker color with no hair damage. I could probably go on and on, but you can see I like this product. :)

I’ve ordered 8 bottles over the past 2 years, so that probably says enough on its own. I have fine, low-density hair, and one bottle easily lasts me two full colorings, which makes it pretty cost-effective for me. I do have a lot of gray, and I’m very happy with the coverage. The color looks natural, not flat or fake, and it blends well as it grows out. After applying, I use an electric heat cap for deep conditioning (also from Amazon). That step makes a big difference - the henna penetrates better, the hair feels softer, and I don’t end up staining my pillowcase afterward. I do have to mention the packaging - it’s… dramatic. The artwork looks more like the cover of a steamy historical romance than a box of hair dye. It’s a little over the top and feels oddly sensual for something meant to cover gray roots, but thankfully the product inside is excellent, which is what really matters.

I have naturally medium brown hair and chose the chocolate and it gave a deep rich color but a deep mahogany. Now it is getting lighter after the first wash. Gray is covered on my temples which no other color would cover. Also it does bleed a little the first week if getting wet and may cause staining on pillowcases etc. it’s important to rinse really well. I used it an hour and washed out easily. My hair is thin so it easy doe me to apply. No bad smells and no gritty residue like in other hennas. Did not burn my scalp either. So it’s pretty non toxic. I will be using again but want a browner color without so much red.

This is first time that it’s think creamy, I believe they have improved the product, I loved it

The product is excellent and was delivered fast

This is the best henna I have used, it comes pre-mixed and it is so practical! It is very effective without damaging the hair, it leaves it very smooth actually.

Happy with my order. Delivered very quickly and the Price was Right.

この商品は、いつも他のサイトから購入していて、使い勝手がよいので気に入っていた。他のサイトが品切れのため、初めてこちらで購入したが、製品は消費期限が切れて古くなったものなのかわからないが、本来クリーム状のものが、サラサラの液状になっており、頭皮にとどまらず使い物にならなかった。
