Light Mountain Natural Color the Gray Step 1 - Bulk 1 Pound Powder for Covering White, Gray, or Platinum Blond Hair, 16 Oz

Not a gray to be found

I have been using this product for almost ten years. I used many grey hair coloring products, and this one is the one I settled with (because it is most long-lasting, and it is natural, so no chemicals damaging my sculp every month). I let it sit for 2 and half hours though, not like directions say: 30 min + up to additional 30min. I do apply heat, every 30 min or so. And I don't use gloves. I let it be orange for the next day:) Some people asked why my hands are orange, and I normally say "I used henna yesterday" and usually it leads to lots of compliments about my hair color!

Realmente sorprendida de la cobertura y lo natural que queda el cabello …

This is the Henna (Red), the first step. This will prep your hair for the second step, Indigo (Black). Without this step the dye will not effectively cover your grey hair, period. Be sure to use boiling hot water to mix with the powder. While the directions state do not use metal, in 15 years I have never had any adverse effects from boiling the water in a metal pot. I mix in either ceramic bowls or glass measuring jars (ease of use when applying). Let this mixture stay on your hair for at least 30 minutes after you have got it all in. This is essential to the dye doing its job. Yes, your scalp may have a red tint when you rinse this out, but don't worry. It will go away after the second step, the Indigo dye. Wear plastic gloves! The second stage will dye your hands if you don't. Let the mixture stand for at least 30 minutes before use. Overnight is better. I use either fresh brewed coffee or tea in the second step in place of straight water and add ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Both for effect and to help cut the strong scent of the dye. It will take the finished dye a week to settle into its full effect on your hair, so be ready for a bit of intense red from the second stage if your chosen color is anywhere from red, brown or black. The amount of red depends on the amount of grey in your hair....so don't put this off until your hair is grey down to your ears, you will look like a red panda if you do.

I have tried dozens brand of henna. This is the best. I don't know what makes this one special but it's the only kind covers my gray. I mix with coffe or tea and it comes out to be a beautiful burgundy color.

Don’t waste your money.

This worked great on my gray hair. I did the 2 step process, and the color looks natural.

Followed directions and did not cover well!
