Henna hair dye: red?

I have dark blonde hair and currently dye the tips with red L'Oreal Color Pulse. I love the color, but it washes out wayyyy too quickly. Looking in to henna options, and hoping for a dark to primary red (the color, not the natural hair color, if that makes sense). Anyone used any kind of henna dye before? How'd that go?

I hear it takes ages and such, but I'm okay with that if it'll last.

I'm hoping to use a paste as opposed to something I'd have to mix with various ingredients.

Currently considering this: Surya Nature - Henna Cream Hair Coloring with Natural Extracts (Red)

Much as I hate to order hair care off the internet.

Henna is subtler but it lasts. Not so great for covering the grays. Why dont you try some hair thats hidden and test strand it.

On recommendation from my hairdresser I switched to Kerastase Bain Mirror shampoo. My color has been lasting ALOT longer. Plus I am sometimes only washing the roots and not the whole strand of hair. Hope that helps you.

anything that is a commercial product, cream hair color is not really henna.

Use pure 100 % henna powder you mix yourself for beautiful color and ease, and safe and natural.

Try it, you will like it.

I know buying off the internet can be risky sometimes but usually can be a great experience. The best henna suppliers are found online or locally if they live near you.

I really suggest you visit this website to get more henna related information, it is amazing there:

I do recommend you really use good henna products such as body art quality henna powder to get the color you'd like.

Cream color isn't as strong either, it is diluted a bit. So please go to that website I recommend above as it is a very helpful forum

Hope this helps!

If you try Henna, only use Body Art Quality Henna. Anything bought in a grocery/health food store may not be safe. If you don't want to buy off the Internet, then try an Indian store. I tried Reshma Henna bought from the Indian store recently and it was very high quality. The red color turned out beautiful. (Note: The girl on the box has black hair, but the hair really turns out red.)
