Tints of Nature Henna Cream Semi-permanent Light Brown 70ml

So I've been coloring my hair with genuine henna for a few years now. I have medium brown natural hair color that;s about 10%-15% gray. I wanted to try this henna cream because real henna takes at least two hours on me to set and that's a huge time commitment. This was just 30-40 minutes, so I thought I'd try this. I don't think I'll use it again, though. The color came out kind of dull-looking. Usually my hair is so shiny after using henna, with beautiful auburn and golden highlights! The texture also felt very dry and crunchy, even though I conditioned a LOT. Overall, I'm going back to genuine henna. The results weren't all that spectacular.

Applying the henna dried my hair out so much it made a matted knot I had to get a hairdresser to help remove and partially cut out. There was no indication in your comments or instructions that it would have this effect. No conditioner was included in your product. It seemed like common knowledge that henna dries the hair out, yet your product doesn’t seem to include any warning or treatment to prevent it.

This is a nice product, I was content with the results, although not in love. Here are the things that I liked the most: 1. The color. I love the color result. It is a subtle change and very close to my natural color, with a rich brown and some henna hues from certain angles. 2. Gray coverage was about 75%. It kind of seems like some of my grays absorbed it and others didn't. I only have gray on the underside of the hair framing my face, not all over. I actually decided I liked this, because It looks like I rolled back the clock and have some smattering of grays, but not a whole frame. (and yes, I left it on the extra time recommended for grays) 3. I liked that you don't have to mix the color with a developer. The color is ready to apply in one bottle. This is much ... MoreThis is a nice product, I was content with the results, although not in love. Here are the things that I liked the most: 1. The color. I love the color result.

This is much easier. 4. not stinky, not burny, definitely you can tell it's more natural.Here are the things I either didn't like or am neutral about: 1. Even though you don't have to mix a developer with a color, it doesn't save you any time, because this is a three step process. First you wash your hair with the clarifying shampoo provided, then you put on the color, then you wait (10-15 mins longer than conventional haircolor), then you rinse and condition. This is two shower sessions instead of one. All in all, it takes longer. 2. It did not affect my hair condition one way or another. It didn't dry it out further, but it also didn't nourish it or make it shinier. 3. It seemed to take the curl/wave out of my hair, which I totally wasn't expecting. Depending on your hair type and how you feel about this, this could be a plus or a minus. My hair was a little flat when I finished. So, in summary, the best thing about it is the color itself, I would consider using it again for that reason alone, but it didn't seem to nourish my hair and I'm not sure how I feel about the "smoothing" or "flattening" effect. May just be my hair; my hair is very fine, tends to be dry, can be frizzy, but also can have a very nice wave or curl depending on humidity. If I was feeling like having straight hair, I might use again just because I really do like the color result.
