Special Recipes and Hints

Coffee
To help tone down red tones, deepen brown-red tones or cover grey, substitute coffee for water. Use brewed, black coffee (not instant or decaffeinated). After coffee is brewed, bring to a boil. Mix as directed.

Teas
Ceylon or Black China Tea will add gold highlights to Light Brown Henna. Red Zinger Tea enriches red tones in Burgundy, Sherry, Mahogany and Red Henna. Chamomile Tea brightens and adds highlights to Neutral, Blonde or Marigold Blond Henna. Let tea seep for 20-30 minutes. Bring to a boil. Substitute tea for water. Mix as directed.

Apple Cider Vinegar
To help color hold on grey hair, add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar to Henna Mixture.

Lemon Juice
To lighten blonde shades, add 2 tablespoons lemon juice to Henna mixture.

To Deepen Red Shades
Red, Sherry, Mahogany or Burgundy can be deepened by mixing a darker shade. For example, 3 oz. (3/4 cup) Mahogany + 1 oz.(1/4 cup) Dark Brown = Dark Auburn.

Dry Hair
Add 1 egg, 2-4 tablespoons olive oil or 2-4 tablespoons plain yogurt to Henna mixture. These natural ingredients not only condition but help with the application and rinsing processes.

Pour 4 oz. (1 cup) Rainbow Henna into a glass or plastic bowl. Gradually add 1 cup boiling water. Use a wooden or plastic spoon to mix thoroughly to a creamy consistency. (More liquid can be added if mixture is too thick).

Application
Wear plastic or rubber gloves to avoid staining your hands.
1. Section hair. Sections should be about 1" thick.
2. Begin at the scalp and paint on the Henna with a brush from roots to the ends.
3. Continue until all the hair is thickly coated with the Henna mixture.
4. Place a cotton or tissue band around the hairline. Cover the hair with a plastic bag or plastic wrap.

Timing
For best results, use a dryer, heat lamp or Thermo Heat Cap. Leave on for 30 minutes with heat or 45-60 minutes without.

Questions and Answers

Can I Try a Test Strand First?
Yes. Mix about 1 tsp. Henna with 1 tbsp. boiling water. Apply to 1" section of hair (enough to wrap around a finger.) Wrap in plastic wrap. Leave on for required time. Rinse off, shampoo and dry.

Can Henna Be Used on Grey Hair?
If you have over 10% grey, we suggest doing a "test strand" first. The following formulas work best:

Medium Brown Henna + brewed coffee + apple cider vinegar
Dark Brown Henna + brewed coffee + apple cider vinegar
Light Brown Henna + Ceylon or Black China Tea + apple cider vinegar

Can I Henna After A Perm?
Yes! After perming, wait 2 weeks or 5 shampoos before applying Henna. This will allow the hair to be free of any chemical residue.

Can I Perm After A Henna?
Henna coats the hair shaft and in some cases, prevents the chemicals in perm lotion from penetrating. Prior to a perm, remove Henna.

Can Hair Be Lightened After A Henna?
No. The Henna color will remain on the hair even if high lift blonde tints or bleaches are used.

Will Henna Lighten Hair>
No. Henna does not contain any lightening chemicals. Blonde Henna brings out yellow and light brown highlights. Marigold Blonde brings out gold and yellow highlights. Both add shine and body to grey hair.

How Often Can I Use Henna?
Neutral Henna can be done every 4 weeks. All other shades can be used every 4 to 6 weeks.

For external use only. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not use in the area of the eye or if scalp has open cuts. Not for use on bleached or white hair. A strand test should be done if hair is over 10% grey.
