Surya Brasil Products Henna Powder, Ash Brown, 1.76 Ounce

I have been using Henna products for some time, since I developed an allergy to the regular hair dyes; I would get a bad itchy rash on the skin after regular hair dyes. I have found that this product, the powdered henna seems to work better than the gel or cream henna, although I am coloring really stubborn facial hair or beard hair that is white to grey and I mix this with vinegar and make it really thick and use an old toothbrush. Apply it only to very clean and scrubbed hair while still damp and then cover with a plastic bag and then a heating pad on medium for about an hour, then gently wash out. don't comb it as this product will coat the hair. it will last about 2 weeks on my beard or less depending on the growth of the beard hair. but I am not allergic to it and very happy with the color the dark brown or sable is my favorite. and you can use it often. these original instructions were taken from a similar product and my own experimentation; it does work.

I really liked this product. My hair is very fine so it tends to get damaged and scraggly especially in the summer. This product gave it great shine and a very nice natural looking color. I tried the same brand in a cream and it did a beautiful job coloring my gray...also has lasted for a long time. I applied the product about a week after I had a body wave and the color was terrific. I have heard horror stories about people getting "green" hair when using henna after their hair has been processed but I have never had this problem when using henna products that are all natural. I would definitely recommed this brand to anyone.

The powder smells like a strange mix of herbs. It's messy to try to apply. However, it will effectively cover your hair and make your hair feel soft. I prefer the Surya cream.

This henna totally repair my damage bleached hair , its a life changing, my hair now went from damaged dried ends looking to a super silky smooth and healthy looking and I love the color tone , also the good thing is that isn’t Permanet and its safe if I want to bleach my hair again at any time :) , I recommend this product 100%

I'd been using Light Mountain henna for a few years and stopped dying my hair for a year. I had some copper highlights leftover in my hair, but I thought I'd use Surya Brazil Ash Brown to calm them down and cover my roots. Unfortunately, all of my hair turned reddish orange with this product. I will not use the color again.

Wow, glad I did a test before doing my whole head. I followed the instructions in the packet but I don’t think this is meant for grays at all. It’s a bright orange and very weird for “ash” to be orange.

I like the ease of using the henna powder but certain products can strip the henna out of your hair so you have to be very careful with whatever hair products you use..

My natural hair is chestnut with about 25 percent gray. :( I used the brown powder. Left it on for about 90 min. It gives absolutely beautiful highlights to brown hair and any gray hairs throughout. However it turned some of my roots orange in color. Yes! These are probably roots where gray was coming it. This toned down after a couple days from bright orange to a dull and less noticeable orange which I guess could also be described as a super light brown. Overall I’m very happy with the color and with knowing that no chemicals were involved. I’m actually looking forward to applying it again ( first time henna user here). I’d totally recommend the brown henna powder if you already have brownish hair and are looking for additional color or highlights. If your hair is mostly gray I would not recommend this particular color.

Lovely colour, good for your hair. No chemicals! The application can be a little messy, but its worth it.

È buono..o forse sarò io che ho imparato ad usare ogni tipo di henné ormai

I am giving it five stars because I LOVE the product, but I prefer to use the cream. It is my mistake that I didn't read the description and ordered the powder. I've been using this to colour my hair for almost a year and my hair never looked so good. It is completely natural and it is a hair mask with the benefit of colour.

Le pongo tres estrellas porque la verdad que el color que me quedó no me gustó mucho, quedaba muy clarito y se lo regalé a una amiga que se tiñe de rubio, aunque no se si lo ha usado, pero no reseca nada el pelo

I'd been building up to using this as I've been using conventional hair dye for years but had started to get an irritated scalp, have a tendency to eczema anyway and so was concerned about continuing.My hair's almost 50% white, the rest is naturally dark brown and I'd heard all sorts of horror stories about how the white would go bright orange.In fact, the henna didn't have as huge an impact as I thought it would - I left it on for an hour instead of the recommended 15-30 mins for white hair, as the white didn't seem to be changing colour.Now it's dried, however, the white hairs have darkened to a gingery blonde-brown that actually does blend with the rest of my hair. I know henna works differently on different hair, but that would be my one recommendation - to leave it on longer than it says if you have white hairs.Otherwise it was straightforward to use and not as messy as I'd anticipated. If you've not done it before, it is like smearing a cowpat on your head. It takes a bit of rinsing off, but gloves and even a plastic cover for your head are provided (although I'd recommend using a non-metallic shower cap on top of that, too, as it's not elasticated.I've just dyed it this morning and now ordered another few packs, so that shows how happy I am with it.
