Update: After using this Henna, my hair was still very black. It darkened my hair, but it did not turn purple or anything remotely close to purple.

I have been thinking about coloring my hair, other than jet black, for a while now.
I was in a local BSS and came across this Reshma Playful Plum Henna hair color!
I was beyond excited. But before purchasing this, I tried to find some reviews to see if it actually turned hair purple. I couldn't find any, so I guess I'll find out for myself.
This is an actual kit and comes with gloves, the henna and reshma hair oil.
The ingredients are all natural: Indigofera Tinctoria, Henna, Amla, Shikakai, Bhilwa, Fenugreek Powder, Ratam Jot.
I am tempted to purchase some Manic Panic Semi-Permanent hair color and mix it in with the henna to assure I get purple hair.
But I'll hold off on it until after trying it once. I only plan on dyeing the front portion of my hair, so I'm sure I'll have plenty left over so I can do at least 2 applications. I also prefer to keep things all natural, so I may try mixing it with hibiscus instead. We'll see.
I will be wearing my hair out a lot more in the summer, so I'm excited about doing this. I will def post results, even if they aren't what I wish for.
I do work in Corporate America and was slightly apprehensive about dying my hair purple, but I don't really care anymore. If anyone(mostly management) has an issue with it, I will just dye my hair back to black(w/ Henna and Indigo).
I cannot wait to see the results of your experiment with plum Henna. I think that "plum" would be such a pretty color on you!
ReplyDeleteI love using hibiscus when I Henna my hair which reminds me that I am overdue for my next treatment. I am curious about mixing Henna and Indigo together rather than doing the two step process, have you ever mixed them together? I have read that it can yield a chocolate brown color.
Thank you! I can't wait to use it.
DeleteI have never mixed henna and indigo together, but seen pictures of the result doing so. You are correct, it does make the hair dark brown which looks pretty as well.
I just like my hair jeeeettt black which is why I do the 2 step process that takes forevveeer!
Thank you! I will check it out!
ReplyDeleteI am curious--how did the playful plum hair color turn out (by Reshma)???
ReplyDeleteHello. It basically looked jet black.
