I have dark brown hair with 20% grey, and have tried various hennas
in the past year: 1) AUBREY, 2) LIGHT MONTAIN HENNA COLOR THE GRAY,&
3) LOGONA HERBAL HAIR COLOR. The second one is the most effective but
takes 3 1/2 hrs to apply, stains everything temporarily and drips a
lot. Logona makes a very fine paste that adheres well to the hair but
it was not effective for me after trying it 2x and then a 3rd time
applying chestnut followed by a mix of black and umber brown.
So as a last resort I colored my hair with SURYA henna cream last
Friday for a big occasion. This henna has some chemicals in it but is
so easy to use. 4 days after using it, I have 6 little hives. I don't
know if the henna is the cause.
I do not want to give up on henna. Are these natural powders the way
to go? Does anyone with dark brown hair have any good suggestions for
mixes and timings? Is there a place to order the powders from on the
East coast or in NYC?

Thanks for all your help,

Elaine
