Colora Henna Creme Brown 2 oz.

I have yet to find a Henna that covers Gray Hair. This one guarantees it and still it did nothing to my gray. Even after I left it on for more then an hour. Henna only seems to be a conditioner or color for anything but Gray hair.

I've been using another brand of henna for years to cover gray with a 2-step process: first you color your hair red, rinse out the red henna (but don't shampoo), let dry, then apply brown. Leave the brown on for twice as long as recommended. This takes extra time, but it does the trick. For me it's worth it because henna is the only thing I can use to color my hair that doesn't ruin my fine hair's texture.

Yes this henna does not cover all the gray. And yes, I have to apply it more often than regular hair color sometimes every week in the summer or every two or three weeks in the winter) and leave it in longer, about an hour. When I put it in I shampoo before I put in the henna but I don't condition till I rinse it out at the end.

But I can't help noticing a lot of older women who use dark color have little white caps that they can't see at the top of their heads as the gray grows out. Also let's face it, regular commercial dyes have a lot more toxic stuff in them.

I put this in. It gives texture and color. Because it doesn't cover completely, it looks a little more natural when it's growing out. And I don't have a little white "hat". So my hair is brown and gray. It's fine. I'm comfortable with it.
