In all fairness, I did not use as much henna or indigo when I used the 1-step method since the 2 ingredients were combined.Īs a result, I now apply henna ( 5T henna plus 2T sugar) for about 2 hours, followed by the indigo ( 5T) for 40 minutes. The 1-step method did not cover the gray as well for me, and the color also did not last as long (less than 2 weeks). Results using the henna and indigo together were less satisfactory than using the 2-step method. I have since used it 3 more times with no reaction. I tried your product for the first time in May and was pleasantly surprised and relieved. I was especially attracted to your ppd story because it sounded so familiar.Īnyway, I was skeptical about your henna products because I had tried Light Mountain Color the Gray about 10 years ago with unsatisfactory results (hence the return to chemical dyes). It is the most thorough and consumer friendly website I’ve ever seen, and your customer service is outstanding. ![]() I couldn’t bear the thought of going gray, but with some persistance I was very fortunate to discover your website. When I had my allergic reaction in April, I was so depressed. I started graying in my late 20’s/early 30’s and have tried commercial dyes and mail order dyes with very low levels of PPD for over 15 years. “Thank you very much, Renaissance Henna! You are a lifesaver! I wrote you almost 3 months ago in a panic because I had suddenly developed an allergic sensitivity (itchy bumps on my neck and ears) to a hair dye I had been using for many years. Jacky had used permanent hair colour and had remnants of bleached streaks in her hair she was also going grey. This is Jacky’s auburn hair after using Renaissance Henna – compare the colour now with her starting colour in the strand test hair photos above. Pure Henna works as a natural auburn hair dye on brown hair starting colours Best regards, Jacky.” Auburn hair colour after Renaissance Henna. I’m definitely going to use henna from now on. Thanks so much for your valued advice over the last week. The colour is so lovely that I don’t intend to use the indigo. “Hello Sabrina, Just to let you know that I put the henna on my hair yesterday (3 hours). The colour I would like to achieve is medium brown/red.”īrown hair swatch after Renaissance hennaīrown hair swatch after henna and indigo plant hair dyes My last permanent colour was mid December with loads of bleached copper highlights however I had to colour semi permanent over it 2 weeks ago as holiday sun faded it. The henna used for these strand tests was mixed with part lemon juice and part water and therefore the henna colour is lighter than it would have been with a straight hot water mix. The photos don’t do justice at all to the final end result colour – scroll down to the real life photos. Study the photographs of natural hair colour swatches showing how they colour with henna, and how they intensify to darker shades after the indigo application. Our henna and indigo are safe to use both before and after chemical hair dye, but we advise that you wait as long as you can before using hair dyes either side of henna. They are not the same stuff your hairdresser is probably talking about. They are PPD free hair dyes, additive free, ammonia free, and chemical free. They are 100% pure henna and 100% pure indigo plant hair dyes. Our henna and indigo are not mixed with metallic salts. It’s the compound “metallic salt mix” hennas which hairdressers generally moan about and say you can’t use before or after hair dyes. The wait will also ensure you get the best hair colour uptake from henna/indigo. This is to allow time for your hair to detox from chemical hair dye build up. We recommend a waiting time of at least 2 weeks, especially if you’ve just permed your hair. If you’ve previously used chemical hair dyes, although you can go straight ahead and use henna / indigo, we recommend you wait as long as possible. A Reminder about Previous use of Chemical Hair Dyes and Henna ![]() It’s too incredible to miss out on and if you never try it, you’ll never know. Henna and indigo should be used by every person on the planet at least once in a lifetime. Also remember that hennaed hair can look different in different light conditions so it’ll look different indoors compared to how it looks outdoors. Your strand test hair also may not give a true indication of final hair shade because the strand test hair may have uneven colour saturation, especially if you’ve previously used hair dyes. Body temperature may make the difference. ![]() Many strand tests give disappointing results which are nowhere near the results from a full hair colour application which give stunning hair colour. And they don’t always take up colour with the same passion as a full head of hair. The hair colour strand tests don’t always give you an accurate prediction of your end result hair colour.
