Light MountainLight Mountain Natural Hair Color & Conditioner, Auburn, 4 oz (113 g) (Pack of 3)

I'm one of those "I don't write reviews much" kind of people. I purchased this product (Auburn Henna) direct from Light Mountain.I am naturally a dirty blonde color with some light blonde natural highlights and some dark red pieces (my father is carrot orange/red). My hair has never been dyed before. So this was a HUGE step for me. I have hair that's thick and curly and passed my shoulders.I used one full box and that was more than enough, actually almost too much. I literally slopped my hair with it. I had so much on it was dripping down the sides of my head. I used a plastic condiment bottle to apply (on towel damp hair), best thing ever. I also noticed that no staining happened if the product was immediately cleaned up. I left it on for 4 hours.I've attached a picture of my before and after. I highly recommend this product. It is literally a different shade in any kind of light and is hard to get pictures of. My roots are brighter but I'm thinking that's because they were lighter in color prior to applying. Anyway, hands down will continue to use this product.

I have used this brand of henna for 25+ years. I mix the red with Auburn. People literally stop me on the street to compliment my hair color. However, if you go dark, it is almost impossible to remove it unless you process it with a chemical. I stopped using henna for a while and switched to regular hair color. Result? My hair broke off and it took almost 2 years to grow my long healthy hair back.

The teal shirt is the before picture. After years at salons, I wanted to try henna. I'm never going back. Light mountain auburn was perfect. I put some cinnamon and nutmeg in the mix. Followed the directions exactly and left it in for only an hour or an hour and a half. It's subtle but perfect. It was a bit of a mess but I just put towels down and used wipes after doing my hair. When I washed it out, the amount it got in my tub did freak me out but I ran it until it was clear and i got no dye on the tub. It does smell but I got used to it, it smells like goose poop to me.

I'm writing the same review for both the auburn and red colors because I got both and mixed them half and half. I have fairly thick, waist-length hair that is (naturally) about 30% grey and has been color treated with commercial/chemical (store bought) hair color for years. First, this covered the grey beautifully (actually better than several of the store brands I've used). It is messy, but, really, no messier than any other color at home product (in my opinion -but I tend to make a mess regardless). I did not experience any problems whatsoever rinsing this out, no grains or clumps, but I stirred the heck out of this when I mixed it. I saw someone say they made it the consistency of mashed potatoes and that helped them, I made it a bit thinner than than yogurt (it mentions yogurt consistency in the instructions) so that I could use a squirt bottle with it. There was MORE than enough in one packet to do my hair. I SOPPED my hair and still had some left over. I probably could have used half as much and I have a lot of hair! The smell isn't bad - if you don't like the smell, add cinnamon. The package comes with a cap, gloves and very complete/detailed instructions. And the price is amazing compared to what I've spent for one box of hair color at walmart just to get home and find out I should have gotten two to adequately color my hair! I'm now a loyal fan and this will be my hair color from now on.

This product is made from natural henna. It does not contain chemical lifters or ammonia. To mix, add boiling water to a glass bowl with powder. The first time I used it, I followed the directions and used the entire pouch of powder. That was way too much product and could have done 4 heads for that. So having used this product several times, found about 1/3 cup of powder is all I need for all my thick hair and you can see length in photos. Add enough hot water to mix a gravy like consistency. I find it is much easier to apply when I add a few Tablespoons of plain yogurt to the mix as it adds a creamy thickness which makes it easier to apply.One box is enough to get 4 treatments for me using the recipe above. What I like best about this henna is that it enriches my natural color and colors the gray hair a gold color. It no longer has a mousy haze. It also wears off gently so there is no root growth line. I wish I had tried this years ago instead of color in a box. It does not damage hair and chemicals are not harsh on the skin. Henna also comes in many colors.
