Wil&#x142; this work on pure henna? I'm talking 100% henna, no heavy metals. Since henna is an oxidative dye, why shouldn't Pravana extractor be used on it

I don't know why.. but this did not work on my henna (my henna was metal free as well). it looked like it worked for a few days but after I washed it for the first time after doing this process, it was back to the henna color.

You've bought the wrong product. Henna (lawsonia inermis) ONLY colors hair in various shades of red, depending on your base color. It doesn't come in any other colors, will not lighten hair, and is permanent. On the other hand, you can mix henna with various herbs (i.e. indigo, cassia) to achieve various shades. What color were you going for?

If your henna mix is no thicker than Elmer's glue, I can't see why it wouldn't work. But I haven't tried it with henna. So why don't you get one, try it with henna and then post a review to help others?

No. I would use manic panic instead. Henna is a long process and rarely turns out to be the color on the box.

Depends on how long you leave the henna on your hair. Should always use some test strands first. Take a few clippings, scotch tape one end to hold it together then put henna on the test clip. Keep a timer going. I actually switched to using mehandi.com product. It's far better. Ends up smooth and creamy unlike mountain lights product. I won't got back to mountain light.

I used 2/3 Zenia Henna Powder with 1/3 Indigo. I am very gray. It worked beautifully. Came out dark but lightened after a few shampoos. I am going to try 3/4 Zenia Henna with 1/4 Indigo to see if I can get more of a chestnut color but fabulous results thusfar.!

Package indicates "100% pure & natural, no PPD, ammonia or peroxide". I use it with henna, amla, indigo mix. No problems.

I tried the brown henna package. My hair is dark, and my roots are gray. For me, it made my roots a reddish/gold tint, which I don't like. I liked the conditioning aspect of it. Hope this helps

I'm not sure if you're asking what color the henna is or what color it will die your hair. The powder is green... its derived from the leaf of a plant. But it will die your hair red. Pure henna is always red. If someone's selling any other color and calling it henna, its not pure henna. You can read everything you ever wanted to know about henna at hennaforhair.com

The chemicals are strong enough to remove the heavy calcium and other minerals in our water, so it might remove henna. I don't color treat, but my natural color is clearer and brighter after I wash.

I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black. The colors are misrepresented. There is too much indigo powder in the browns and your hair will be black and there is no way to remove it. I tried Prell, Head and Shoulders shampoo, which are very harsh and usually strip color from hair. I applied 100% pure henna 3 days apart for 4 hours each time and finally noticed a tiny reddish tone. Customer service rep told me the colored packets like light brown and medium brown which I also ordered should never be used over henna hair and it was my mistake. They advised me to go to a salon or wait for it to grow out; hardly solutions to the problem. I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black.

I'm not sure about indigo, but it says in the directions it doesn't work on henna. Sorry about that.

This henna does not contain any synthetic substances or additives. The color is naturally present in the henna molecule so there are no chromates or other added colors. This powder is purely the crushed leaves of the henna plant and nothing else.

I can't answer this positively, but based on another answer that the henna color came back sounds like it did work. I had to do the whole process a total of three times to remove all the dye from my hair. The first two times the color did come back after a few days, but the third time was the charm and the dark color dye did not return. You do have to follow all directions as stated to make this work. Again I used this on permanent hair dye and not henna. Good luck.

I used it on my color treated ends and it made them a beautiful fiery red that I had to cut off eventually r/t damage. I don't think the two are related but I can't be sure that the henna didn't make bad worse.

The longer you leave the dye in the richer the red you'll get. I have almost brown hair and so my results are much darker. The lighter you are the color seems to stand out more vibrantly in my opinion. Especially with hi-lights. The color will bleed for a good week but will eventually slow down. Try to use some lavender oil to make the smell a little better. The more you dye your hair the richer the color you get. I've actually mixed different henna reds and get radical results. Its up to you tho. I've been using henna for a year and it never ever fades. I will always use it.It also helps to get a good deep conditioner to make your hair easier to brush through. Just remember to rinse hair thoroughly, as long as possible henna is hard to get out and makes your scalp itch. I also buy my own gloves, the ones that come in the package suck, their too big and cheap. Best of luck .

I did. I went to the Salon first. My hair was bleached and then dyed a mocha. The bleach did not lift much of the henna at that point I was asked what red I used for my hair. My dresser was dissapointed that I didn't let her know I used henna as she said it was impossible to remove. I hated the brassy color I was left with came home and dyed my hair an ashy color and the toned and dyed again. My hair has broken in areas. I made a mess of my hair. If you used henna color I highly recommended you do not dye over it. If you get tired of it let it grow out!
