Question 1

I have really dark brown hair. Trying to achieve a deep red, almost purple toned look. Please share your thoughts/experiences with the burgundy? TY!

Accepted Answer

The red henna is the most reddest color but its bronze. It's all natural henna. The burgundy likely has indica in it which wouldn't affect your hair color much, I think.
If you leave it on your hair for a long duration, though, you should see some deep long lasting results even on darker hair. You could lighten it a bit with apple cider vinegar or with hydrogen peroxide. If you spray a diluted hydrogen peroxide mixture in your hair and leave it for just a bit it should lighten your hair enough to have the henna's red shades really come through :)

Question 2

Does this dye only my gray hair?  I have never dyed my hair and I just want to dye gray hair. Thank you.

Accepted Answer

So far, it has not completely covered my gray hair. I tried three times. The last time, I mixed the dark brown henna with strong coffee, add a little apple cider vinegar, then let it sit for 8 hours. Then I apply the henna and wait 1 1/2 - 2 hours, which is more than the directions say -- they say 1 1/4 hour without heat. I was hoping to be able to use this instead of conventional dye, but I don't have time to leave it on for four hours every six weeks. So I'm not sure what to do. You can easily see my gray roots, although they are a reddish color. They are still not dark brown. I think it might work better if your hair is light brown, but for dark brown, not so great.

Question 3

can i use rice vinegar instead of using apple cider vinegar?

Accepted Answer

I bought more than one if these, first time use rice vinegar then tried it again w out any vinegar and it worked alittle better

Question 4

On my short hair almost a full container(this and medium brown)+acv+coffee & none of my greys are even slightly coloured after 3hrs? why???

Accepted Answer

Did you have any conditioner or product in your hair and was it clean and dry?  Conditioner and any oils will prevent the henna from staining properly
