LIGHT MOUNTAINHenna 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)USDA Organic

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.

This is my favorite brand and what I have used for years.I use the auburn color and this one doesn't have any metals in it so if you go to get your hair highlighted you can absolutely have the henna hair and it won't hurt your hair at all I do it all the time.Don't tell the hairdressers though they have a fit when they hear the word henna LOL. I have had a lot of hairdressers think that this is my natural color.This is messy like all henna, I put on an old shirt and a towel around my shoulders and get a Walmart bag or something and wrap it around your head and put non-metal hair clips in your hair and to hold the bag on your head. Make sure you only use distilled water to mix it up. I use disposable gloves and warm water and a disposable cup mix it up with a highlighter brush or sometimes I just glob it on my hands and put on my hair, mix it up until it looks like yogurt consistency or so and put it on my hair I even do my roots all the time.I leave this on my hair 2 to 3 hours and then rinse it all out good and then just put conditioner on my hair until the next time I wash my hair. This makes your hair feel super soft and healthy and it's good for you not full of any garbage like the other hair dyes.

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!!!

Had an allergic reaction to hair dye and was looking for an alternative. Used this for the first time and was very impressed with the outcome. Dye stinks as some of the reviews stated but the results far outweighed my expectations. Will use again. Would recommend.

Loved the product

After 25 years of using the light brown Light Mountain Henna and loving the color with no red tones. Due to product changes in 2017, I have been battling some serious unwanted color of deep purples and red red highlights!!! So now the top 4 inches of my hair is dark with the purple and red tones and the bottom 8 inches is still a nice light brown! I used to leave the light brown color on for about 20 minutes and had great coverage of my partial gray hair. it was light brown, just like the title on the package. Last year in March, I started getting problems with a section of my gray hair and it turned pink, then became bright red. After 4 consultations with the company's colorist, I was told to get the brown color I needed to leave it on for 45 minutes. Well now I have a shade of brown that is closer to chestnut brown that apparently oxidizes into deep purple and bright red highlights!!! So goodbye, never using this product again, too bad. Customer service seems to care, but it took 4 calls to discover they changed the formula, and has not called me back after explaining they were checking a lot number of the product I was using. So if you want light brown hair....... The highlights are very dramatic in sunlight and bright led lights! The 1st photo is 25 years of great color, 2nd photo is my color now!
