Thank you for this recipe! I found it about two years ago and love it. For over ten years my ash blond hair has been turning gray and only this recipe saves me- as I look awful in red/brown/ black henna dyes. ( My scalp is allergic to commercial hair dyes.)

If the Henna Guys could connect their web page with your recipe, you will save many ash blond women. (it took me ten years to stumble upon your recipe. ). I am emailing them to see if they could reach out to you. It would be a win win… more exposure for your book and website and more sales for them. ( I am not getting paid for this ;)… just want to help more wanna-be-blonds ;P.he he )
Thank you so much!

What color was your hair originally? My hair was dark blonde to light brown naturally. My uncle called it honey blonde. Also, I’ve heard that people use this product with foil just on the white. My white hair is mostly in the front and at the crown. With fine hair I’m tired of damaging my hair, especially the white hair, which is more fragile as well. My highlights have all grown out of my shoulder length hair and I don’t think I have anymore colored hair at this point. I have been trying glazes and they just don’t hold in the white hair and even the lightest blonde I can find is darker than I want. I’m searching for baby blonde like when I was a child. I have used a chelating treatment on my hair and my hairdresser told me to stop using glaze which I did.
She was going to do some highlights so I could go “grayge” but I just don’t want to damage my hair again when I have it healthy. TIA,

Does it “color” your greys/whites blonde?

I actually used commercial chemical hair color over my hennaed hair. It turned out fine, no greenish effect.

I have been using regular henna for quite a while, in the beginning I used Light Mountain Color the Grey. I chose dark brown and it came out okay. Not the best but covered up my greys which was about 60%. But the dark tint came out faster so my grey tend to look for orangey. That’s why I used the chemical hair color, just to cover up the end of my hair.

Hullo;

Originally my hair was a dark brown. I started going gray early with it showing up by the time I was 18. After that I dyed my hair constantly. I’ve been brown, black, green, red, orange, blue, blond, and any other color imaginable ever since. However, I let it all grow out a few years back because it was so tedious to keep up.

At 56, I’m as gray as in your first photo shows. However, my hair on the sides is very short to scalp but it is white. I would like to try blonde thinking it would be far easier to keep up when the shorter white hair begins growing in, and thus will not appear so obvious like a darker shade does.

However, if after doing this I should decide that I would rather it be dark again, could I redye it with a darker henna? Or would I have to wait for the previous henna dye to grow out entirely?

Thank you kindly,

Anthony

You can totally cover grey hair with henna and have a golden color, no orange, if you mix your red henna with indigo… all this with a lot of Cassia Obovata.
I did it this morning and it’s gorgeous.

Hello all, after 1 month of testing I have finally been able to achieve the goal of dying my grey hair without changing my natural color (I am light brown). The mix I was suggesting in my previous message is actually the right one for me. I now have beautiful brown hair with golden-caramel highlights. Depending of your hair color, you’ll have to change the proportion but testing really worth it. This morning I have the most beautiful natural hair, without any gray, and it will last (until it grows, of course)! No weird orange tone.
