    Can I add egg to henna?
    Harshita Ezil
    Community Answer
    Yes, you definitely can. Egg adds extra moisture to the henna and makes your hair more glossy and soft.

  • Question
    How frequent should I use Henna?
    Community Answer
    Around once a month if needed is usually enough. However, whenever you feel you need it is also okay as long you wait at least one week between uses.

  • Question
    I have been using Deep Red Henna from The Henna Guys. I love everything about it, except the awful smell. Is there an essential oil that can be used to mix with henna to get amazing aroma?
    Community Answer
    Put simple extracts in the henna mix, such as argan oil mixed with lavender extract.

    Does this work on all hair types?
    Iddabie
    Community Answer
    Not all results will look the same, but yes, this works on all hair types. If you want to test it on your hair, I recommend taking a small strand from behind an ear.

  • Question
    How do I get blonde hair with henna through a simple method?
    Tonia Addison Hall
    Community Answer
    Henna only dyes hair darker, it cannot lighten it. You will have to use traditional hair dye to get it blonde.
