THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE CONSIDERING 100% NATURAL HENNA Since our henna does not contain color developers (harmful chemicals) that speed up the application process, it takes longer time to prepare and apply. Safest is to try out first 8h activating and 8h in hair. If you are a first time user, before dying your hair, please make a test with a spoonful of powder with componence you have chosen to activate the powder. Let it stay 8h and test if your acid component was acid enough to activate the powder. Paste should have gone darker after 8h. You will learn how to judge timing after a few times using henna hair dye and recognize when paste is ready. If it didn't work, do not hesitate to write to us and ask for help! Always use wooden or plastic bowl and spoon. Mix Henna powder with the acidic component (lukewarm coffee or tea, brewed with distilled or filtered water).Stir the paste thoroughly until the thick pudding-like paste is evenly mixed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 8h at room temperature without sunlight. Henna will not stain if used immediately, the acid must activate the lawsone particles that will give stain to your hair. If the powder has absorbed a lot of water while activating and the paste has become too thick, add slowly more distilled or filtered water to make it thinner. Make sure the paste is neither too thin or too thick, or else it will be hard to apply on the hair. Adding too much water will not affect the stain, just harder to apply. The longer you hold the paste on, the more Henna has the opportunity to stain your hair. We recommend holding it for up to 12h. After washing it off it may take up to 48-72h for the color to be fully developed. You can do touch ups on the roots and grays to get better coverage. It might seem like a big work and effort but once you succeed and find the right way for your hair, you will be making a big impact on the health of your hair by simply not using the chemicals anymore.
