Best henna product out there!,
August 1, 2007 MotherMomOrama "Me" (Washington State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henna Red 4 Ounces (Misc.)
Light Mountain is the ONLY company I will buy henna for hair from! The product is all natural, and easy to use. Just add hot water (Warning: Do not use regular tap water or metal of any kind when mixing/using product because the natural henna has a chemical reaction which could change the color intended!) FYI: I have done it two ways: Followed directions flawlessly and used tap water vs distilled; didn't notice any major differance in color outcome. However, I have NEVER used any metal in preperation & use of product! (I KNOW there would be a reaction!)
Anyway, I do HIGHLY advise using the plastic gloves that come with the henna or some of better quality if handy because the henna stays on the skin for days!
Overall: Light Mountain Red is really Red! Not a bright Red/Red, but more of a naturally Shiny Orange(hence the Fox on the box)/Red. It is the more desirable color of Red I think.
We left the henna on for 30 minutes one time and it came out REALLY Foxy Red! My...Read more

Excellent replacement of Hennalucent Sunset Glow!,
June 9, 2009 Reader from Texas "Reader from Texas" (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henna Red 4 Ounces (Misc.)
Recently, all Hennalucent Sunset Glo color users were lost as this
beloved color was discontinued. The frantic search has begun to find a
replacement! And I am happy to announce that this Light Mountain Natural
Hair Color in RED is a perfect alternative to Hennalucent Sunset Glo. The
package has twice as much henna as hennalucent and it is good for all of us
with long hair, it is soft, easy paste to apply, good smell. Please read all
instructions. After 45 minutes the desired color is achieved, but for
thicker hair they recommend up to 3 hours wait. They also advice heat
application but I have not done it and the results are excellent. Wear
gloves, cover the hair line with Vaseline to avoid staining. It washes out
easily, wait 24 hours before shampooing to make the color last even longer.
Well, I am thrilled I can continue to be a redhead with no harsh
chemicals on my hair. Thank you Mountain Natural Hair Color in RED!

Natural and RED: great stuff and tips...,

I have used several colors of Light Mountain henna over the years and just today used the Red. This stuff is so great, I love that it's natural and it does have staying power. I thought that I'd post some tips from research and experience for those who may be using for the first time or who are considering this product.
Henna is really a wonderful choice; that cannot be denied. It does take some patience and can be messy if you aren't prepared, but the preparation is so worth the result! I mix it with boiled distilled water and this time I added the juice from 1/2 a lemon. I allowed this to cure overnight in the fridge. This really makes a different in the potency of the henna and you must use gloves whenever you touch it because your hands will be stained orange! That said, the kit comes with gloves so just be sure to use them. I also have used a color application bottle and this does make control a little easier, but my hair is very long so I usually end up just slopping it on...Read more
