MAHOGANY Henna Hair & Beard Dye/Color - 1 Pack - The Henna Guys

I wear a goatee and it had a lot of grey in it, but my natural hair colour is very dark brown. I was tempted by Just for Men but put off by the horror stories about blistering skin and so forth, so I decided to give this stuff a go. I followed the advice given in another review and mixed one teaspoon of the henna and three teaspoons of the dark brown mix, and used coffee to make it into a sludge which I left on my beard for about 2 hours. The result was quite pleasing; although the grey wasn't gone it was tinted dark brown which looked quite natural. A couple of days later I repeated the process adding a dash of apple cider vinegar (as per the included instructions) which deepened the tint a bit further. If my grey had completely gone I think the result would have looked unnatural, as it is the grey is closer in hue to the rest of my beard but the variation in tone looks very natural, unlike products like Just for Men which give a much more uniform result. Next time I think I'll use a slightly higher proportion of the dark brown in the mix as my natrual colour is very dark, and I think just topping up every 3-4 weeks will be sufficient. My original sludge used 4 teaspoons of the powders and I ony used half of it on the two applications (if that) so I expect the contents of the packet to last for months, if not years. Great value and a great result.

Bought 2nd pack of this the other day. Been dyeing my hair red for 3+ years now with chemical shop bought stuff and this has saved it. Been using this for about 8 months now, split ends are gone, it is not dried and broken anymore. It is more vibrant, doesn't fall out as much and it's so much healthier than it used to be. Henna has bit of a strong odd smell, but you get used to it soon. Easier to apply than chemical dyes are, at least in my opinion. It does take much longer to wash out (took me 6+ showers, i have thick and long hair) but it is worth it. Make sure you apply moisturiser on your face, neck, chin and ears =easier to remove it after you make a bit of mess. It is definitelly better value, healthier and colour looks more natural. Defo worth a try, I will never start using chemical dyes ever again.

Well sorry to write bad review as I hate doing so but I really have to say this is terrible , I was looking forward to using this as read fab reviews. I normally used the henna cream in burgundy but thought I'd try this stuff , well wished I hadn't . First I followed instructions and made it up , it was dark brown n looked like soil but thought ok I'll still use it,left it on about 4 hours n wen I tried to wash it out omg! I spent about one hour if not more trying to get this stuff out my hair n after my hair was so dry ,it's been 5 days since I used it and my hair is still really dry which it wasn't b4 using really disappointed and wasted £10

My hair is bob length so this packet covered me for two applications. The colour is a nice deep red, but as with all henna it does fade to a much lighter red over a period of weeks. I find Henna conditions my hair much more than any other hair dye and I feel better about putting it on my hair than drying chemical hair dyes. Be warned it can take more than 10 minutes to rinse it out of your hair, but the result is worth it. Another tip is to put some petroleum jelly around your hairline and ears before applying this product, and of course do not forget to wear the supplied gloves otherwise you will look like you smoke 80 a day!One additional thing I did notice is that this product continuously washes out over a period of weeks, if I were going swimming I would be worried about a little bit of dye going in to the pool as every time I got in to my bath and dunked my hair in the water a little bit of red dye would come out in to the water - not sure why it does this as I have not experienced this with other Henna dyes.

This is the first time I ever tried henna, I stopped using other dyes a long time ago as they destroy my hair and the chemicals always burned my head not to mention what they do to my lungs!I would recommend this to anyone, it changed my hair to the colour I really wanted and is still exactly the same now. It hardly ever comes out in the water like the chemical versions do everytime you wash your hair. I don't use shampoo's to wash my hair just bs followed by a good condition from acv and tea tree EO.My hair has never dried, in fact it is it's healthiest it has ever been!If you want to have a stunning colour change but without hurting yourself and your body, go for it!The pack comes with the gloves and the hat inside the packet. The only thing I would say if you don't like the 'soil' kinda smell which is the only downside to this (can't complain considering the smell of the chemical versions) add an EO. There is no need to wash after application and I left it on for the full 3 hours. I have long hair thick naturally curly hair and it only took one pack.

I loved the colour of this, it was exactly what I wanted. However, they do warn that the colour will run a bit, but it just simply never stopped running for me! Everything was getting stained weeks after I had used it until pretty much the colour had completely faded out. It also left a horrible stain right down the middle of my back where the water would rub off my wet hair - not a good look! Unfortunately I have had to go back to my original brand of henna I started using which doesn't run at all.
