H&C 100% Pure Neutral Henna Powder/Colorless Henna/Senna Powder/Cassia Obovata (227g / (1/2 lb) / 8 ounces) For conditioning your hair without coloring.

Good product. Arrived fast and the product does its job well!

Dark and works great! I received a fresh batch -- the powder is finely milled, the dye release is fast and using it on my greying black hair with henna in a 2-step method gave a deep soft black. Just plain henna alone gives me a very bright orange on my grays that isn't flattering, so I prefer to overdye with indigo for a more natural look. I used very warm water and added sea salt to the mixture. A little went a long way. Be sure to wear gloves when dyeing and rinsing out, it will stain your hands and nails -- and your sink if you don't clean up promptly. The price is great too, comparable to the powdered indigo I would buy in Asia.

I love this product. This is 100% natural and I don't have any side effects while using it. I first apply henna on my hair and later after washing it, I use Indigo powder. I love how it turns my hair black naturally. The color stays on for 3 weeks and then the roots start to look gray. I'm not even in my 30's and I have a lot of gray hair. I don't want to go for dyes and all, since it causes a lot of hair damage. I want to mention a few points about this powder: 1. It does smell a bit. Not sure if it is the smell of the powder or if it is supposed to smell like that. Might annoy some people. But, the smell goes away with washing. 2. I'd be very mindful if having color on my hand annoys me a bit. This will leave some color on your hand especially the nail bed if you apply with bare hands. 3. Similarly, I'd also use a cloth or something on my pillow after I wash it off. I don't immediately use shampoo, I use it the next day, therefore I have some leakage on my pillowcase. Similarly, when you wash for the first time after a few days of applying, your shower might turn black (Don't worry, goes away with water). But, again not sure if this is a product thing or a brand thing. I have tried another brand from a nearby Indian store, and that doesn't leak, it doesn't smell this strong either. Overall, if I keep aside the smell I'd buy this product again. This brand has my trust. It is 100% organic. Additionally, I have medium-length hair, and one packet lasts three times. That is like $3 or so, for coloring your hair naturally at home without any side effects. Lastly, for the people with colored hair or with highlights. Be careful, guys. I made the mistake of applying the powder on my entire hair ( scalp as well as the length). The highlights also turned black (Lol!). Eventually, the color comes back after 2-3 washes, but something to avoid if you don't like your highlights colored black.

Great for gray hair

I have been purchasing this product for close to a decade, always the same brand same supplier. I use it once a month on hair. This last purchase does not work at all, you can't get the henna to develop and does nothing on hair, I have tried it multiple times. Because the 30 days is up, you can't return the product.

I promise you this is an honest review. I am an experienced henna and indigo user. I usually order my products from Henna Sook, but I needed some without having to wait for a long delivery. Despite the negative reviews, I took a chance. I always henna my hair first, rinse that out with a little conditioner added, just to get the comb through, then mix the indigo with just distilled warm water and a pinch of salt. Unlike henna, INDIGO MUST BE APPLIED WITHIN 15 minutes of mixing, AND i LEAVE IT ON FOR 2-3 HOURS. I only apply indigo to my edges and roots, so the rich henna color will stay on my long strands. The indigo was too effective. I accidentally darkened too much of the long front strands. The indigo is still in my hair. This WORKS WELL. However, I am concerned that others that actually did the application correctly may have received a bogus product. Luckily, this one bag will last me a while, and then I will review the latest reviews to see if there have been any additional negative reviews before purchasing again.

It didn't stain well on my henna fresh applied hair. I don't know if it was user error or not but I went back to Bigen.

I've been doing the two step method for a long time so I definitely did not follow the instructions on the product packaging. It has good staying power, even on the greys. My usual product was out at the store, but this turned out to be a good stand in. Please just don't use lukewarm water and don't let it dry. Apply it either with henna or after henna. Boil your distilled water and let it cool down to a heat that can touch your scalp, definitely do not just go in with lukewarm to release the dye. Add 1/2 tablespoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum to the dry mix to help with dye uptake and product consistency. Don't let it dry, cover it in plastic and keep the paste wet and steeping in your hair, under a heating cap if you have one. Once you've let the mud process for an hour, rinse it out with just water or use an oil free silicone free conditioner to help loosen the sediment. Wait 24 hours before using shampoo. Voila.
