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.

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?

Does this work on all hair types?

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.

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.

Question

Do I put henna on clean dry or clean wet hair?

Zainab Ibrahim

You definitely want to have clean DRY hair when you are putting henna on your hair. Never put henna on wet hair: the colour will not sink in the way you want it to.
