Organic Persian Henna in Chestnut Brown Shade

Siham B: I received the product very quickly and I love this henna. However, this was extremely pricey, I am not sure I will be able to buy more of my favorite henna. At least on this site. It used to be more affordable.

Ann F.: Have been using rainbow med brown henna for 15 years. My hair always comes out perfect and very natural looking. I have called or emailed with questions several times over the years and I alway receive great advice or help. I just started using their shampoo and conditioner also and love them both. Wish I had used them earlier

VAMomToBe: Works great, love the color my hair is now with the henna (i use coffee so it's darker/tones down the red). I also use apple cider vinegar like it says in the instructions since I have gray. It looks awesome because it makes my gray hair look like highlights. Even my husband was like, wow, it looks like you paid someone to give you highlights!"

Only negative which I don't think there is a way to fix...the smell. I can't stand the smell. It lingers for days, like a strong moldy tea smell. And it's a bit messy to put on since it's kind of liquidy like yogurt, I end up dripping it all over bathroom sink, but at least it cleans up easily and didn't stain my counter and sink like store bought chemical dye does!

But I can deal with that since now I don't have to deal with those strong chemicals (which i didn't like the smell of either) from regular hair dye. I actually stopped dying my hair years ago cuz I hated the chemicals and how damaging it was to my hair and had resigned to just having tons of gray hair before I'm even 40, but now I am so happy to have this natural option! And great thing is it faded after about 3 weeks so if I change my mind or don't want to dye it...

veebers: [I ordered Rainbow Research dark brown henna but was sent the wrong colour. I returned and ended up buying it elsewhere.]

In looking for a natural, non-toxic hair dye, I came across henna. After using neutral henna (Cassia obovata) twice which conditions the hair while giving a lovely shine, I was ready to try something with a little colour. Henna (Lawsonia inermis) is a permanent dye that improves your hair. Henna binds the keratin in your hair and cannot be removed so it is a commitment. It 'only' dyes red. In order to get brown, Indigo (Ingiofereae) is used. For best results, a long, full day, two-step process is used for dark brown. You do the henna, rinse out then do indigo. The Rainbow Research henna is a one-step process with the henna and indigo powders mixed together. Mixing with boiling water causes an instant dye release so there is no long dye release period as there is when using just henna. Henna treatments are done full head until you get the desired colour then roots only if you don't want further darkening.

Application 1: I mixed one jar of the Rainbow Research henna with boiling strong coffee and two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to form a mud...
