Aubrey Organics Hair Color

As for the Aubrey Organics Henna. I love it. It is so easy to wash out and it does a beautiful job and lasts a long time. Its my favorite but I have dark brown hair. I think he has only two colors and I dont know why. Dark Brown and Mahogany. I add 1/2 box of Logona Black to it because my hair is so dark for a darker color. My mom uses it also because of the great grey coverage.

I have really enjoyed using the pure henna from Everyday Mehndi (henna). They are so smooth and easy to apply. They rinse out extremely well! The color is great and long lasting! It's one of teh best hennas I've ever tried!

Light Mountain Henna

I have used various colors of the Light Mountain hennas and have enjoyed them. They work as well as the other herbal henna blends, and I couldn't really tell much difference between them and say... Rainbow Research. They are little bit less expensive though, and that's a plus! Overall, enjoyed their product! My favorite shade is a blend of Mahogany and Auburn.

Logona Natural Henna (Brown Umber)

This is the best natural, gentle, henna-based coloring product that I’ve ever tried. This product is not particularly billed to cover grays; but it toned & blended my grays beautifully WITHOUT the classic “henna red” telltale tint.

While I was okay with letting my grays “go wild,” I still missed the conditioning properties of henna. I also knew that if I continued to experiment, I would eventually hit on a product that would work for me.

This is still applied like other henna-based products; it is a powder, smells like hay and is a bit messy. But I was very happy with the “more brown & less red” effect, and of course the conditioning was superb.

I found the best price at: Internatural.com

You can see from the general list of ingredients why the results are more brown than red.

Algin, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Simmondsua Chinesis (Jojoba Oil), Parfum (Fragrance), [+/- Lawsonia Inermis (Henna), Casssia Auriculata (Cassia Leaves), Rhamnus Frangula (Buckthorn Bark), Juglans Regia (Walnut Shell Powder), Indigoferia Argentea (Indigo Leaves), Indigofera Tinctoria (Indigo Leaves), Hibiscus Sabdariffa (Sundanese Tea), Rheum Undulatum (Rhubarb Root), Krameria Trianda (Rhatany Root), Coffee Arabica (Coffee), Curcuma Longa (Curcuma Root), Beta Vulgaris (Beet Root)].

I guess the lesson here is to keep trying different things until you find what works for you.

Lush Caca Henna

 

Lush Caca Brun Henna- Now, you must be wondering, how can one review henna? Because it works differently for everyone! But I'm just putting this out there so if anyone else wants to try it, they know that I have already, and I can help with any questions about this henna, because I know that would have helped me.

Now, I can't say anything about the color results except what it did for me. I had red in my hair and this henna got RID of that red. It made my hair darker brown, although it doesn't perfectly match with my natural color. It looks okay though .

I can say something about the conditioning results. This worked so much better for me than actual henna! It made my hair feel extremely strong and conditioned!

Here are the ingredients, in case you have been wondering. Oh - and make sure you put on some sort of leave in when your hair is still damp - that really helped.

- Black Henna (Indigofera Tinctoria)
- Cocoa Butter (Theobroma Cacao)
- Red Henna (Lawsonia Inermis)
- Ground Coffee
- Nettle Powder (Urtica Dioica)
- Irish Moss Powder (Chrondrus Crispus)
- Clove Bud Oil (Eugenia Caryophyllus)
- Perfume
Oh, and here is the thread where I posted what I did and included some pics, in case you're wondering
-Leia 2bNiii

It is amazing how MUCH more shiny this product makes your hair than regular henna does! I got mine yesterday(yay for the UK site) and strand tested last night. I think I'm going to be in love, it smells so much better too,I kept sniffing my hair, which was NOT something I wanted to do with the pure henna!

Lush Caca Marron:

This is a nice shade of henna, pretty deep reddish tone without being overbearing and too bright. I love, love, love the scent! It's by far the best smelling of any henna I've used. It's not nearly as easy to rinse out as Everyday Henna's pure stuff, but I still enjoyed using it and got exactly the results I was looking for.
