How long after treating your hair with henna should you wait before exposing it to chlorine (swimming)?

We only suggest waiting at least 24 hours before both washing with shampoo and also swimming in chlorine.

I don´t mix the henna with any other powder. I prepare the henna 24 hrs. before I intend to apply it. I mix the henna powder with hot water and tablespoon of lime juice to make a thick paste. Covers grays very well, color turns into a dark copper tone.

You can mix this with anything acidic! Most people use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. I prefer to use chamomile tea because it is less drying on my hair. With most henna you want to let the mixture sit for about 12 hours before application however with this henna it isn't necessary. I have used it immediately after mixing and had the same results as I do with henna I let sit for a long period of time! Best henna I have used :)

My daughter went swimming the day after and almost all of the color went out of her hair. Her hair dresser said to cut down on loss of color rinse your hair in cold water prior to swimming and you should only swim after 48 hours have gone by. We recolored her hair after 7 days and it looks great.

Yes, it is exactly the process I use to cover my grey hair. I love the release of this henna and the repairing and strengthening property of the herbs as well. I appy and put on a plastic cap and sit under a hearing processing cap for three hours. The color lasts and does not change my curl pattern. I've been using it for three months and now have very little shedding between washes and on wash day. I love this henna!

I always color before the treatment and it works fine. if you can't color before the keratin, then you need to wait at least 2 weeks after the treatment

4 months if you buy the Shampoo and hairconditioner of the same brand and argan oil, dont get into pools or the sea because it will damage your hair.

The instructions suggest and it would probably be best if you waited 24 hours before washing your hair after you use the color. Also, a shampoo formulated for colored hair seems to help the color last.

Dear Rashmi, I don't think it's safe, because, when you have chemicals and use henna, a reaction happens, the hair turns orange and dried. You have to wait until your hair is completely clean without chemicals, then apply henna. You will see the difference, is much better than chemicals.

Henna will dye your hair a bright reddish brown. You can mix it with lemon juice instead of water and it should set for at least 6 hours before you use to allow all the dye to come out. I mix mine with Indigo for a dark auburn color.

In my experience, if you combine permanent chemical dyed hair and henna, the result will not be what you want. We had a greenish color appear on a friend's hair after such a treatment. But, that's only one person one time. I have never used both on my own hair at the same time. To be safe though, I would definitely do a small area first so you don't have a disaster.

hi there - i'm afraid i can't answer your question, as i haven't used the product yet. it seemed to have some good reviews online though. i would recommend that you do a strand test with it before doing the whole head.....just in case. there was a good forum i found with lots of advice - something like knights of the long hair or something - lots of them had long hair and wanted to remove henna from it. don't have the link anymore, but worth googling.

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'm using light brown color right now, haven't tried blond color yet.. it covers grey but not 100% and has little reddish tone, but benefit of Henna is that, my hair gets stronger and shinier and falls out less and you need to color it every 2 or 3 weeks..

Also, since you are using a the light brown mix to achieve this color they mix a proportion of henna with a proportion of indigo. I don't know how familiar you are with henna but straight henna should be mixed the night before and let sit over night to allow to dye to release to its maximum. Indigo does not need this and will fade so it must be used once mixed or soon after mixed to achieve the desired results. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that and didn't let it sit over night because in that case you would not get the results you wanted.

I have very long, thick, dark hair and 1 packet (100g) was enough. Realize that you also need Henna powder to finish your dying process. Make sure you leave the paste in for at least as long as the directions say. Because this is natural, leaving it in your hair longer will not damage your hair, it will only make the dye stronger.

I was wondering the same thing. Depends how thick and lucious your hair is. I have thin hair, same length and I bought two thinking I would need at least 1 1/2 according to instructions. But I always have some Henna mixture left, even with one packet.
