Rainbow ResearchHenna Hair Color and Conditioner Persian Mahogany Medium Auburn, 4 Ounce

Decided to try this after using a more expensive brand with better reviews, having meh results, and figuring this couldn't be any worse.I was pleasantly surprised with this stuff. I have long hair that ends about mid rib for me, though my hair is somewhat thin. I only needed half this jar, so this is a very affordable way to color my hairUnlike other reviewers I always follow the directions as they are on the package. I add hot water, stir, and apply and saran wrap. I don't put any additives or anything but I do plan on experimenting with them.The package says that it cannot dye facial hair (eyebrows, beards, eyelashes) bur I use it one my eyebrows with no problems. My eyebrows always come out a pretty vibrant red.A few things I've noticed with this brand: It doesn't stain my skin as much or as badly. I had a little orange skin around my scalp and eyebrows but it was very light and went away after 2 days(I did use petroleum jelly). The other brand had my skin orange for almost a week.The second is that it wasn't as drippy and runny, I did use the same amount of water, mixed it to a light pancake batter consistency. but with this I didn't have it dripping and running down the back of my neck constantly.Third thing: no wash out! The water and my shampoo bubbles turned a light orange the first time I washed after dying but after that I haven't had it wash out, run, or stain my towel I dry with.The color is pretty and vibrant, it came out a light coppery red color, and hasn't faded (it's only been 2 and a half weeks since I last dyed it)Will definitely buy againPros: Easy to use, doesn't drip or run muchAffordable, I only need half a tub for a dyeColors comes out vibrant and prettyDoesn't bleed, wash out, or runDidn't stain my skin muchCons: Smells funky like most hennaMessy like most henna

This henna product is easy to use - yeah, it's messy, it's always messy! But as far as making up Rainbow Research's henna for coloring hair, this is easy to make, easy to use. I normally substitute chamomile and red roobios tea for the water and add a small amount of olive oil when mixing up the "cake batter." That's the exact consistency needed and then I let it sit for a few hours. Then for the icky part - slapping the muddy mess in my hair. Once done I wrap my hair/mud mix in plastic wrap and leave it on for 2-6 hours. Step into the shower, spray until the water coming off my head is clear (no longer muddy) and let it dry. Two months later my hair still shines with beautiful coppery red highlights. Henna give your hair body and bounce as well, so while the color is what you are after, your hair gets a healthy treatment at the same time! Love this stuff and will continue to buy Rainbow Research's henna products.

I am of Indian origin. My hair are straight, black-brown and thin. My need to use this product was to get my grey hair hide. But after using, I could say my purpose wasn't solved. It left very light orange color on my white hair( as shown closely in pic) which is almost equivalent to white. I did use coffee, black tea , mustard oild and curd in the pancake type consistency mixture and kept for 4 hours. Then took a normal water hair wash for same day and next morning did shampoo. Other things I would mention:1. Delivered earlier.2. Good packaging.3. My hair are waist length. Quantity wise I could use it twice easily.4. It leaves very light color on skin and hands which goes off in a wash.So don't worry.Not even in scalp.But would still suggest using vaseline.5. Very less smell as compared to other hennas. And so is the less color also.6. Easy to apply.7. Overall it gave a brownish texture to my hair which were more visible downside rather than on my head. Shared a pic from back.8. I felt my hair softer, lighter, each strand was separate and fluffy. Could say I felt positive improvement in texture.But nothing that could help me with my white hair which are still clearly visible.

I bought his particular brand because while reading the reviews, I saw a lady tha happened to have the same natural hair color as me had used it, and her hair looked like fire, and I was in love. Probably due to the fact that I used ginger tea and cinnamon to neutralize the smell, my hair did turn out darker, but I love it! It is pretty messy, but I mean... it's henna, what do you expect? But the other cool thing is that I also used it on 2 of my daughters, and I still have a ton left over! My boyfriend also loves it. He keeps telling me how pretty and natural it looks, which is always something you want to hear when you're trying something new with your hair 😊
