Davis Finest Organic Cassia Obovata Powder 250g, Neutral Henna for Natural Blonde Hair Color, Chemical-free, Vegan

This was my first time ever, using henna. I’ve spent decades colouring my hair mostly lightest blond and burning my scalp in the process. The last time I did my roots I swore it was the ‘last time’ sitting there with my scalp stinging and burning. I spent a month or so researching henna and it’s many benefits and decided this was the way forward to blend in my greys and give me a more natural look that is fitting for my age (50) After looking at many reviews decided to get this brand as it had such good feedback. I did my first henna treatment yesterday and here is my review........... I mixed 100g of henna with some hot camomile tea (not boiling hot) and juice of a whole lemon. I Mixed to a thick yoghurt consistency. I covered this with a lid ( Glass Pyrex bowl) and let it develop over night. The next morning I mixed 100g of Cassia and 2 tablespoons of Amla into the henna with a bit more camomile tea and recovered with lid. I left this for one more hour and then was ready to use it. I wet my hair and lightly towelled the excess water off before applying by hand with some plastic gloves on. Because the consistency was thick it was super easy to apply and I thoroughly covered my whole head of hair within a few minutes. I ensured it was well massaged into every bit of hair and scalp. I piled my hair up and then covered it all with cling film. There was virtually no mess and I couldn’t believe how easy and un messy it was having seen many videos of super messy henna jobs! Just a couple of little splodges on the sink that wiped straight up and a little bit on my forehead. I left the henna mix on for 5 hours. It does drip and seep from the cling film a bit as it gets warm so put an old black top on and an old towel round your neck! Rinsing out was as easy as rinsing any colour from your hair and I shampooed and conditioned afterwards. My hair did feel a little dry and course afterwards and I needed a bit more conditioner to get the shower comb through it. Today my originally coloured very light golden blond hair is almost neon orange but super shiny. I know this will oxidise and mellow in the next few days and I’m hoping I’ll get to a strawberry blond/copper tone and more natural look. I watched a tonne of videos before venturing into henna and got my Henna/Cassia/Amla recipe from one of these. Cassia gives a yellow tone to henna and Amla cools the red and makes it less vibrant and more copper. The total dry mixture quantity I used was just over 200g and this was more than enough for my long (below boobs) length hair. The quality of this product is beautiful and not at all gritty or lumpy when mixed which makes it a dream to put onto the hair without the mess. Every henna journey is unique to the individual, your hair colour, quality, and how and what you mix it with will give you your individual unique colour. If you go into this process aware of this and willing to experiment and tweak to get your perfect shade then you will never go back to damaging harsh harmful chemical dyes and processing. It’s a journey and I’m having fun experimenting until I find my perfect recipe and shade. I know I can do this all over again tomorrow if I want and my hair will only thank me for it as it is super conditioning. The shine is truly beautiful. My hair still smells a bit like a wet hay bale at the moment but this will go with another wash or two. The follow up and customer care from this company is fantastic and the quality seems superior. Vacuum packed and dated packets. Clear instructions and aftercare via a courtesy email offering advice if needed. I will be a returning customer as I can’t find a single fault and won’t purchase from anywhere else now I’ve found a trusted henna company.

Buon prodotto arrivato nei tempi

Hab mir das Pulver für mein hausgemachtes Haaröl bestellt. Hoffe die Wirkung, wird sich in ein paar Monaten sehen lassen :) Kann zum aktuellen Stand absolut nichts an dem Produkt aussetzen. Lässt sich gut verarbeiten, riecht und sieht nicht seltsam aus.

Todo perfecto

Acheté pour mes cheveux fins. L'effet recherché est là, ils sont gainés et se placent tout seuls. J'ai une base blonde et j'ai laissé appliquer la cassia 50 mn ce qui est un peu trop sans doute, la pigmentation est plus forte que je ne le souhaitais. Où peut être en ai-je mis de trop ? Un ajustement sera nécessaire. De toute façon je suis très satisfaite du soin apporté à mes cheveux.
