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 (see Timing). 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
(See Special Recipes and Hints in more information.)

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 the perm lotion from penetrating. Prior to a perm, remove Henna (see following question).

What is the best way to remove Henna?
To help remove Henna from the hair shaft, apply warm mineral oil to the hair. Leave on 20 - 25 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Shampoo out. This procedure is good prior to using a perm or chemical tint/color.

Is Henna safe to use over a chemiccal tint?
Yes. If the hair is in excellent condition, Rainbow Henna can be used over a chemical tint. However, this is not its purpose. Henna should never be used over bleached or white hair.

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 ofter can I use Henna?
Neutral Henna can be done every 4 weeks. All other shades can be used every 4 to 6 weeks.
