Light Mountain Natural Red Henna (Fox on the box)

After a bad chemical burn over the winter from a salon color I decided it was time to research an alternative that would give me great coverage, soft hair, with a natural- looking color that would also be good for my own health. Lets be honest here, after years of coloring my hair (since I was 16) it was a wonder I had any hair at all with the chemicals in the boxes and salon colors I’d use.

After researching about Henna on and off for a few years, I finally found the Henna for Hair website and with all the great information there I decided it was time to either try it or deal with the chemicals. So I decided to try the Light Mountain Natural Red Henna that I was able to purchase at my local Natural Grocers store.

It took me about 3 or 4 days of back and forth should I or shouldn’t I questions to myself that I decided I had nothing to lose. The directions in the box of henna itself were very simple add water, mix and use or option 2 add liquid, mix and wait 1 to 2 hours for henna to “cure”. I decided to do Henna for Hair website recipe for henna and it worked awesome. (recipe I used was 100grams of pure henna brand of your choosing and 16 ounces of acidic liquid: I chose lemon juice: then mixed until it looks like yogurt then wrap up and place somewhere warm like top of your fridge and wait 8 to 12 hours until henna is “cured”) then once Henna was ready I smeared it on my head from back to front and roots to ends; waited the amount of time from strand test; Yes strand test is important; then wait 2 to 6 hours for henna to process, wash and wash then rinse and your done..
