How To
Henna hair dyeing treatments should be repeated every 4-6 weeks or root touch ups as needed in between colorings. Henna can be used to create a gloss or conditioning mask treatment that can be done every 2-3 weeks. Henna might loosen your curl pattern, should this apply. You can add amla or zizyphus powder as treatments to enhance and maintain curls and volume. We highly recommend that aloe vera powder is added or one of our hair oils to your henna recipe for added moisture as henna can be drying without. Warning: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Always test all henna, herbs and products on your skin/scalp before use for possible allergies. Henna and Ayurvedic herbs can be drying to some hair types. Be sure to add necessary moisturizing ingredients to your hair treatments before and after. Henna can also loosen the curl pattern. Be sure to use amla or zizyphus powders or masks to maintain curl pattern.
Directions: Mix henna with warm to hot distilled water and allow to sit 3-4 hours for dye release. Prewash your hair with one of our hair washes or shampoo bars. Apply onto damp hair strands and allow to remain in your hair for 3-4 hours for a full color treatment and to cover grey hairs. When doing a henna hair strengthening mask leave in hair 1-2 hours. Use a heat cap if you would like to cut the time it stays in your hair in half. Rinse out with our cleansing cowash then moisturize, dry and style as usual for best results.
Storage: We recommend you store henna in a cool dark place, fridge or freezer and away from moisture.

Henna powder is very smooth . Mixing was easy and stringy. Applied well on hair and washed off well. Left my hair very soft and shiny and the color is deep red. Happy with my purchase. Colored my stubborn grays well esp near temples.
Your review has made my whole day!! Love this and so glad you got coverage on the temples, as that is such a pesky area to color. The hairs are short, then they want to pop out of the mix. They are always trying to fight :) Would love to see the color. DId you take any photos or video? - Khadija
Question: can I add essential rosemary oil into henna during the process of release of the dye?Or into indigo mix?
Hello! Absolutely. I'd recommend you add it to the henna part of dye release and not the indigo, just in case, as indigo is fussy. It'll smell amazing too and give you all thsoe hair growth benefits! - Khadija
I have a love hate relationship with Henna! I love the benefits from it but hate doing it! I’ve been on my Ayurvedic hair journey for over 10 years. Within the past year, I’ve gotten lazy & started dying my hair and using commercial methods to clean my hair. None of those quick & easy methods yields the same results as Hennaing. So, here I am back to Hennaing and using my fave, Red Raj! Hands down, this is the absolute best Henna! I used to sleep in mine thinking it would give me a better stain, in all honesty it did nothing but make it more difficult for me to remove it from my hair. I now listen to Khadijah and keep it in for about 5 hours, I also use a heat cap, I find the heat helps the henna penetrate the hair shaft better. While I love the color of Red Raj, I mix it with Indigo it gives me a black cherry look. I love it! Whenever I order, I make sure to pick up a couple packets of Red Raj whether I need it or not. This Henna goes out of stock all the time because of its popularity. My goal is to never run out. I almost forgot, if you have gray hair strands coming around your edges like I do, get this Henna, you won’t be disappointed. The Red stain on black hair isn’t what you think, it’s more of a hue instead of a straight dye. Either way, you won’t be disappointed. I’m back on my Ayurvedic journey and forever will be a Henna Head!
I love this henna. It is organic and I don't have to wait long for the dye to release like other henna powder out there does.
Red Raj Henna leaves my hair a rich, vibrant auburn. I've had professional stylists compliment my color. It blends well with indigo for a deep mahogany look.
