Patanjali Baba Ramdev - Patanjali Herbal Mehandi for Hair - 100g

Good not great

Good

This henna product arrived earlier than expected and in good condition. I have entered my 60's with a fear of going bald. I have always had a small bald spot on my crown with moderate hair fall-out, but it became more noticeable in my late 50's. Both parents actually had balding, so I figure I'm pretty much doomed. Nevertheless, I'd like to minimize the likelihood. With a lot of grey hair (and some white) as a top layer and around my face and everything else ink black, I wasn't sure about using henna as a preventive measure. As a dark-skinned Asian American, one can well imagine the possibilities. However, I knew I didn't have patience to go the henna-indigo route. The actual mixing and applying goes easily. I used lemon juice as the acidic. The smell is reminiscent of tea leaves, which I personally do not mind, but it might bother some. Having purchased two bags, I had a lot left over after applying to chin-length hair. That turned out to be a good thing. My first try (six hours set time) resulted in a light auburn or an orange-y color on the grey/white hair, but an auburn caste on the black - scary looking, really. The second time (with henna you can re-apply quickly with no ill effects) I went for 12 hours. The result is much more livable with my complexion and nationality, a medium rust-color closer to the auburn caste on the rest of my head, and I still had leftovers, which came in handy. It appears that with my body chemistry and the amount of grey/white hairs I have to do the roots every two weeks. It also did not work for my eyebrows, which are disappearing the more grey hairs grow in. At first I thought about trying another brand, but after researching and discovering that this is normal for some people, the price for Baba Ramdev works for me. There has been less fall-out, my hair looks thicker and healthier, and my scalp does not flake or itch. So I feel the time invested in using henna is worth it.

Looks like better description would help more... But it's OK anyway :)

Ottimo prodotto, colora benissimo sia bianchi che capelli scuri. Il riflesso è rosso scuro mattone, tipico degli hennè indiani molto coloranti. Consiglio di seguire le istruzioni sulla confezione per una resa perfetta del colore e dell’effetto condizionante. Mi ha sorpreso un buon profumo che ricorda la liquirizia! Consigliato!

Nice product
