6 Pack of The Henna Guys 100% Natural Ready to Use Henna Cones For Redish Brown Hair Dye - Perfect for Spot hair coloring

This is the best henna I’ve gotten and it lasts for so long especially when placed in the freezer when not using it. The point is perfect and the product lasts a while before running out. The end result of the designs always turn out amazing and they last longer than any other henna I’ve tried. If it’s left on for multiple hours before scratching off it gets dark dark and looks amazing. The entire time the henna is drying before you scratch it off though, you’ll need the entire area to have access to air flow. I had a sleeve over a design once or twice and it didn’t turn out. It also might be a sunlight thing, since it saw none.

Okay, so, I've been using this henna paste for about a year now and this has become my favorite and most affordable brand to buy from here. This is natural henna paste, yes, it really really is. But! I have some things everyone needs to take note of for the absolute best results possible... Since I was teenager I've been mixing and preparing my own henna paste at home. Buying pre mixed paste is a major time saver for me. So, with that being said, I know a thing or two about quality henna paste. The ingredients in this paste are natural henna powder, water, eucalyptus oil, clove oil, sugar, Katha powder and lemon. So, what's the difference between this particular paste vs professional henna paste made for body art? The clove oil and the Katha powder. Clove oil is the only ingredient I see in this paste that some people may be sensitive to. I do not react badly to clove so I knew I would be just fine. If you don't generally have sensitive skin this paste should work perfectly for body art on you but still do a little spot test just in case! The Katha powder- essentially that's what makes this a hair dye henna paste. It's used to enhance the color in the hair and it might or might not enhance the color on the skin but it's still a natural and gentle ingredient. So don't let the Katha powder deter you from trying this paste. How to get a bold stain with (any) henna paste: Lay it on THICK! I recommend using a stencil with this one because the paste isn't necessarily as thick as body henna would be, but it doesn't run at all. You just might not be able to get crisp, small details with this paste if you freehand your art. But remember to put it on very thick! Let it completely dry on your skin and try to leave it on for at least 3-4 hours, ideally overnight, to achieve a nice dark stain. If you don't apply a thick enough layer or let it set on your skin long enough you won't get the results you want. When it starts to dry down, to help it stay on longer, mix a little sugar and lemon juice and very gently re wet the henna to help it stay on your skin longer. The lemon and sugar will not only help it stick to your skin longer but it will help to further darken and activate the stain. And, to help further darken it, keep yourself very warm where you applied it, without causing yourself to sweat. Heat will also activate that color. If I don't have a lot of time I will use a blow dryer on low heat to dry the henna and it definitely helps darken it. So: apply it thick, keep it warm, let it set as long as possible and treat it with lemon sugar water. And don't wet your stain for at least 24hrs or it may wash it away prematurely. Scrape off the paste, never rinse it off and apply coconut oil or the like (all natural ONLY) to also help preserve the rich color. Also, remember that it takes 12-24hrs for the stain to completely darken and develop on the skin even after you remove the paste. Your palms, bottoms of feet and fingernails will stain the darkest and last the longest. Your body chemistry also has a huge role to play in how dark it will become. This henna paste has always given me a beautiful dark red brown stain. Follow these tips and you should absolutely love this affordable henna and get pretty decent, if not prefect, results every time.

Used two of these to dye my hair, then one for roots every time it grew out a bit. It works as hair dye, covers grey well enough and lasts a while, but the color isn't really vibrant, even after leaving it on for 6+ hours. Previously I'd used Ancient Sunrise henna hair color, and I found it a lot more saturated and really RED. This is more subdued brown-red, probably because it's more intended for skin use than hair. But it will dye hair reasonably well, if you want a shade more auburn than red.

long lasting henna, dark color. If you like drawing on yourself you’ll love this. perfect for doodles or fake freckles. TIP: shave before hand it will hurt otherwise taking it off

This is a great henna to use and is pretty pigmented. The stain stays on for quite a while and doesn’t fade out blotchy.
