Light Mountain Henna Hair Color & Conditioner - Dark Brown Hair Dye for Men/Women, Organic Henna Leaf Powder and Botanicals, Chemical-Free, Semi-Permanent Hair Color, 4 Oz (Pack of 3)

This brand is amazing. First of all, I have been using henna on my hair for the last 9 months or so once I noticed more than a few grays cropping up. I did not want to go to a box dye because I would be using chemicals for the foreseeable future. The first two brands of henna I tried end up being too red, too grainy, really hard to mix etc and it was not the best experience. I looked online for a while and decided on light mountain due to the glowing reviews. I can say I am really impressed. Mixing was easy and the consistency was smooth and much better (easier to wash out also) than the previous brands. I mixed it to a pudding consistency with distilled water and I let it cure for 10 minutes before applying and I left it on for 2 hours. WOW. The result is pure dark chocolate, no red at all. I am really impressed with this result, it looks like salon quality. Also, it covered up the old red from previous batches. It is almost a shade too dark right now but I think when it fades a bit it will be a perfect match to my natural color. The gray strands are a bit more copper brown, like a highlight, but it covered up the old and new growth perfectly. I like the fact that you get a pair of gloves in the box also, which was handy. I bought an 8 pack of shower caps at dollar tree and that worked out much better than the plastic wrap they give you, but I did put that cap over the shower cap for better coverage in the back. Overall I am really impressed with this brand/color and I won't be buying anything else. Don't be intimidated by henna, this brand takes all the guesswork out of the application and it is really easy. You get the perfect amount in each box, detailed instructions and the gloves. If you are worried about too much red, try this brand you won't be disappointed. UPDATE January 2019: I am still using this product and color because of all the henna I have tried it is the best. I only mix about 1/2 cup of powder for touch up's and just do my roots rather than my entire head. Every 3 or 4 applications I do my whole head again. I find that it gives me a richer brown if I mix it and then immediately apply it. I do not let cure anymore. I have even left it on overnight before and still a rich brown result that left me with super soft conditioned hair. Overall for the quality, results, versatility and price I will never buy another henna product.

Don't be deterred by the person who hasn't tried this yet. I've used Light Mountain henna for almost 20 years - the last five with the color the gray formulas. You do NOT need distilled water, a ceramic cup or a paint brush or a squirt bottle. Prep takes 5 minutes, not 1-3 hours. One thing, it does stain your skin, so if you don't use a lotion around your hairline, you might see some staining for a day or two. This stuff really does color the gray. The nice thing about henna is it doesn't give you "helmet head" with monochromatic color. The gray will take on the color of the henna more than your brown/black, etc. hair. It looks much more natural than highlighting, and it's actually good for your hair, as opposed to hair dye. It gives hair incredible body. Now, I have to admit my husband rolls his eyes when I henna my hair every 7-8 weeks. It is a mess - like putting mud on your hair. Put the henna in a glass or ceramic bowl, add hot water. I add a teaspoon or so of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg for a little extra color, plus it has a nice aroma that way. Makes your hair smell like a pie instead of the hay smell of the henna. Stir it up with a plastic spoon that you can throw out. I just put on the gloves (plastic surgical gloves are much easier than the ones in the packet), use a comb, and apply the henna with my hands. I rinse my hair out in the utility or kitchen sink where I have a spray nozzle on the faucet.. You have to do it twice - the first one stays on your head for 5 minutes or so before you rinse it out, and the second package for 30-45 minutes. I The henna smells like hay for a day or so, so don't use it right before you go out on a date! Still, I think that's a small price to pay, and so is the price of the product. Highly recommended!

It is great as it is non-toxic and does not cause hairloss like most synthetic hair dyes do to me. Peroxide accellerates graying and causes hair thinning/loss. I am glad that I found this organic clean henna that actually covers the grays. Most henna I have tried in the past were not pure and did not dye well. This one covers nearly 100% and lasts just as long as the permanent hair color. You just have to have the patience to practice the application technique, and keep ot on for 2-3 hours. I used to get a headache from the strong henna smell. Then, I tried taking one tablet of allergy medicine couple hours prior to application as well as wear a mask during application. This prevents headaches due to my allergic reaction to henna. Make sure to apply after washing your hair with a cleansing shampoo and do not apply a conditioner prior to henna. Apply the conditioner after you wash off the henna for softer hair. Conditioners contain oil and other chemicals that prevent full penetration of the henna. I also noticed that sulfate-free organic shampoos help to make the color last longer. I hope this information helps.

Okay- where to start with this product! I bought this because I refuse to use anything other than an organic product to dye my hair. If you are looking into this product I am sure you are already aware of the chemicals in regular hair dyes. Is this easy to use like other chemical non-organic hair dye? Absolutely not!!! I followed the directions and made sure to not use any metal that would contaminate the color outcome. My hair came out looking exactly as I wanted it to. I have medium brown hair with quite a few greys. This darkened my hair and covered most of the grey hair. It didn't cover all of it, but I think that was more my fault in not spreading it on all my hair appropriately. So yes the product works great, and I will continue to use it. However, lets address the MAJOR ISSUES!! First off, the smell. It smells like manure, spinach and very old pot. It is horrible! The smell did not go away for several days too. So, that's kinda gross. I have read other reviewers talk about adding spices and teas (instead of just plain water.) I plan on trying anything and everything next time to see if I can reduce or eliminate the smell. Secondly, you must be prepared for an epic mess. This is either too runny or too goopy. Finding the right texture to get it on your hair to spread evenly and it remain on your hair will take some experience! I have also read of other people using thickeners. I didn't try that and I might next time. I used a bowl and my hands (with about 10 pairs of plastic gloves.) I was in no way prepared for the mess that this created! My suggestion, is a tarp is a must, a helper would be excellent, and a few tools could be beneficial. I had no shirt on and no tarp and I got this stuff everywhere! I screamed for my husband to help clean up the mess about 10 times so that it wouldn't stain my counters or floors. It did stain my bra- but that doesn't bother me too much. Without his help, it would have been really bad! So for my next encounter I plan on having an old shirt on along with a hairdresser cape, a tarp draped everywhere that this stuff could possibly get, a hair dye bottle, combs, and hair dye brushes. I am hoping next time to tame the mess. I had separated my hair in about 10 sections and did each section and put my hair back in mini buns using all plastic clips. Then I put on a shower cap. The separated hair and shower cap worked last time and I will do the same next time. Thankfully the product didn't stain my skin on my face and what got on my neck came off pretty well. (Okay maybe not the well, but that's because this product bled for the first week. Again, I'm going to try something different next time. Normally I use organic shampoo and vinegar for conditioner. This product might require non-organic products to try to remove it. I think I might try a different product to try and get this stuff out of my hair! Every time I washed my hair it bled blue and dyed my neck blue. Not a true problem for me since I wore my hair down every day and never pulled it up (at least in public.) But it would be nice to not have a neck stain! The product at least did not get on my clothes, pillowcases, etc, so no true harm done. So why use this product? Well there isn't much to choose from in the realm of organic hair dye. I won't use chemical hair dye so it is either have grey hair or use this product. I am 31 and feeling kinda vain about the grey hair issue. So for me it is worth the hassle, but as I said I have plans for the next round and hopefully I will report back with more success. I used it about a month and a half ago and it still looks fantastic. So I don't expect to have to redo my hair for another month or so. Should you try this product? That is entirely up to you. This was my experience- good luck!!!

I’m not sure if they sort the reviews so it’s very important to note that I bought the dark brown color. The TL;DR is that people need to BEWARE of any of the colors that use INDIGO. Apparently, migraines after using indigo are quite common, and let me tell you it was TERRIBLE. This product caused a migraine that went on for 3 whole DAYS and it didn’t even tint my (sparse, less than 10%, but bright) gray hairs. In all fairness, it did make my hair very shiny. Now, I’ve used their red years ago—ie regular Henna—and I had zero problems. But lately I’ve been rocking close to my natural color, and I just wanted to find a way to add a little depth, shine, and gray coverage. Now, before anyone suggests that I should have purchased the gray formula: I don’t have 10% grays, more like 5%. And I’m completely ok with those random white/silver hairs being lighter than the rest of my hair. I knew that, as with red henna (and I know this because I did my MIL’s application years back), my grays would still be lighter than the rest of my hair, but I thought they would at least be light brown or even at least tan! Nope. I followed all instructions to the letter, I left it on my head with the plastic cap on it for SIX HOURS, and my random annoying gray hairs showed NO change, none. What I did get was a terrible migraine complete with visual aura. Now, I’m no stranger to migraines, but this was a monster—probably in the top five worst of my life. I could barely get the stuff off my head it hurt so badly to move, but when I realized it wasn’t just a normal headache and did some googling, I realized that the indigo in this formula was to blame and I sobbed through the rinsing process. It wasn’t enough just to thoroughly rinse it out either, like the box says to do. After suffering the rest of the evening and night and having to drug myself to sleep, I was back in the shower the next morning dry heaving and shampooing three times to get any residual smell or residue out of my hair. Only then did I feel better, if exhausted. But then, like an idiot, I forgot to also take my pillowcase off! Yep. Woke up the next morning with yet another splitting migraine. I don’t think a “patch test” could have let me know that this would happen, because other than the migraine I had no other allergic reaction. After some googling I have realized I am far from alone in this reaction to the indigo, and I really think colors that use it need very prominent warnings above and beyond “do a patch test.” I threw away my other two boxes, I didn’t even try to give them away because I don’t want to risk any of my friends having that reaction.

My wife has been using henna to dye her hair for years (dark brown). It takes longer than traditional hair dye but she likes that it’s natural and says that her hair feels moisturized after dying with henna instead of dry like traditional hair dye. She used to buy henna guys dye, but she tried this and says it’s the same, much better value.

I was quite timid about using henna. Horror stories of my teens came to mind with friends having bright orange hair. I am a natural redhead but with age (nearly 70) my colour has faded so much and the inevitable white hair is taking over bit by bit. I did as much research as I could on the internet about henna and the products available and finally chose this on because of the reviews. I decided one morning that this was going to be the day but I chickened out decided to do a henna gloss first. Henna glosd is a much less colourful result as it a small amount of henna powder is mixed with conditioner (ratio of 1:3 or 1:4) However after spending the whole morning on this enterprise it did nothing, my hair remained just the same. However this was far from upsetting as it gave me courage. If I wasn't bright orange then perhaps this was not going to turn out to be a nightmare after all. So the next morning I determined I would get it done. I followed the instructions with few exceptions, I had no distilled water and I added cinnamon to hide the cut grass smell. The thing about trying the gloss first is that I made all the mistakes possible with that first try. I made SUCH a mess. This time I had already learned to make the paste more like mashed potato and boy did that make a difference. No drips, no mess, easy to apply. I waited 1 hour and rinsed and rinsed. I did not like the dry feel of my hair so I applied a little conditioner and rinsed again. In trepidation I turned to the mirror and oh boy was I surprised. My hair has turned out wonderfully. The beautiful auburn of my youth. No bright orangy bits. I only wish I could post a pic, it is so so natural. Everywhere I go I receive lovely comments about how healthy my hair looks and how glossy it is, not everyone realised I had coloured my hair (goodness knows why) but it just shows how natural the colour turns out. If you are worried about using henna then please try this product first as I am sure you will be as pleased I am.

High level take away: I would highly recommend this product to those wanting a deep chocolate brown, rich glossy color without the use of a plastic bottle filled with chemicals. This beats Lush's henna out of the water, no competition. Time and patience is a virtue with henna. Yes the process takes 4hours, but you're coloring your hair with plants! Mother Nature takes time :) My process: I boil water to make a concentrated black tea using 8-10 bags of black tea with 12oz. water, steep for 10 min. Which the tea is still hot I strain the bags, and slowly add to my henna powder in a rubber mixing bowl with a silicone spatula. I don't recommend adding egg, yogurt or essential oils because it messes with the consistency of the henna 'mud'. I section my hair using elastic hairbands and using rubber gloves I apply the 'mud' from back to front, root to tip making sure my whole head is saturated. I have thick hair below my shoulders and usually require a whole bag if not 1 1/4th bag of henna to cover all. I cover the henna on my head with an old long sleeved shirt and carefully do chores/ work indoors during the 4hours required for this process. I then rinse in the bathtub- this is extremely messy and if care is not taken you will get a swamp in your tub. Lastly I apply a biotin hair mask to my hair for 20 min and rinse until the water is clear. Do not shampoo your hair for at least 48hours while the henna is developing. Washing before can result in the color not fully treating and prematurely rinsing out. I repeat this coloring process every 7-8 weeks once my dark blonde roots and grays start to peek though. General cons of using henna, for anyone new to the henna process: if you plan on chemically coloring your hair or want the option to quickly change your color, henna is not for you. Brown henna = applying indigo + henna to your hair which have blue/ yellow and orange tones, and any type of chemical color is more likely to not take effect or come out with unpredictable outcomes if you apply on henna colored hair. The more applications of henna result in more layers of the coating to the hair cuticle making it harder to penetrate with bleach and color. Enjoy!

The product appears non genuine.
