I have used the product in the past to dye and treat my hair. Although it does not contain any chemicals, it does have a tendency to dry my hair out.

However, instead of using water to prepare the henna, try mixing it with your favorite conditioner, an egg, tbsp coconut oil and some lemon juice!

Also, this is a very cheap method to get some color in your hair! One packet of henna will cost you less than R 10 at a cosmetic shop!

Please note that if you have dark hair and you try red henna on your hair, you might not see the difference. Direct sunlight might show slight color in your hair.

I use to use the chestnut shade and although less messier than the black I stopped using it .It did give my hair a nice shine and healthy feel but I just could not handle the mess and all the extra effort it rinsing it off a countless times . If you have patience then I would recommend this.
