FAQs
Henna Hair Dye
The Quick & Simple: Henna is a flowering plant that’s been used to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather, and wool for thousands of years. It’s actually a tall shrub (small tree) and grows natively in the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, southern Asia, and northern Australasia in semi-arid zones. India commercially cultivates the most high-quality henna crops in the world. Henna is also used for temporary body-art tattoos. As a natural hair dye, it dates back over 6000 years: Cleopatra, Nefertiti, and ancient Romans used henna as a hair dye. More about Henna Here…
Yes. Henna works very well on gray hair. Most people get complete coverage in their initial application. If matching up roots, you may have to dye them first, wait set time, rinse, and then dye the whole head one more time to blend. At times, gray hair can be a little stubborn: the hair shaft, under deeper inspection, is actually clear—void of color, nearly translucent; and gray hair may have a different texture than the rest of your hair. So the initial application may color a shade or two lighter. Just stay consistent with your regular application cycles—improves (hair color & health) with use.
If super stubborn, unusual but can happen, give it one full month: four weekly applications to tackle that stubborn gray. It’s all natural—will not damage, will actually improve in shine, bounce, and body. The color builds on the previous treatment; it will get richer and more depth with 3 to 4 applications. You can do it!
No. Henna-based products will not lighten hair—zero harsh bleaching chemicals. The pigments will keep the hair its existing color or color darker (depending on color used). Some of the red shades (Pure Henna, Wine Red, Mahogany) may express on dark hair (dark brown to black), but expect the result to be subtle.
Some customers with dark hair (dark brown to black) like the subtle reddish halo that Pure Henna and Wine Red can kiss to their dark hair. And it generally will slightly improve over a few applications, although still subtle.
Yes. Absolutely. As long as you’re using all natural henna and henna-herbal products, you won’t have any problems. Problems can occur when nasty additives are placed into a poor quality henna powder (Metallic Salts) and they may react with the chemicals in the synthetic dyes (Ammonia). Brittle hair and unpredictable brassy colors may result if using poor-quality henna. That’s why it is so important to do your homework, research, and purchase safe, all natural products. Hunt for a reputable company, and buy the best. You’re 100% Safe Here: We use ONLY the finest, top-quality Henna & Natural Herbs.
Note: if you have very damaged hair from chemical dyeing or use large amounts of relaxer, your best option is to wait one month before using ANY hair products. And always test with harvested hair from a brush before initial application. Simply mix a little henna paste(Tbsp): Apply. Wait. Rinse. Review. If all good, proceed and enjoy.
Yes, you can mix all the colors. We designed the HCL™ Henna-Herbal Spectrum Series™ to match the most popular colors (colors that really express the rich Henna & Herb combo). But everyone wants a choice!—so go ahead and make a unique personal color. Tip: It’s always best to stay within the same color family. Add a Tbsp of Pure Henna to warm up a color, or add a Tbsp of Pure Indigo to darken by a shade or two and so on—create what you want. And please note: these are pigments that do dye your hair. Your personal color combination may have unpredictable results. Especially on heavily damaged hair. Be smart and have fun!
Yes, our dyes are permanent. Once applied, rinsed, and matured(48 hrs), that will be your hair color until it grows out, or is cut off. *Please Note: initial uptake of the natural colors may take two to three applications. And color will fade from the hair under certain stress, similar to traditional chemical hair dyes. For example: chlorine bleach, extreme sun exposure, regular shampooing(retail brand shampoo), intense heat(blow-drying) all slowly strip the pigment from the hair. The hair itself actually gets damaged under these conditions: natural sheen oils burn off, proteins weaken or are destroyed, and the henna pigments are exposed and release early and/or fade.
The more you color with henna-based dyes, the deeper and stronger the colors will fuse…and harder to strip-out. A good secret to keep color is a non-sulfate, all natural shampoo (one with natural surfactants like coconut oil or olive oil)—cleans away the funk, but leaves the natural pH balance, preserving natural protective sheen oil content and vital nutrients.
Not really. If you’ve dyed your own hair before at home then this will be very familiar to you. Just read through the included application instructions thoroughly, or review on the website. The Consistency, Scent, and Rinse-out will be the three key differences. (1)Consistency: it will be thicker than your traditional chemical dye (ketchup/pudding consistency). (2)Scent: instead of reeking of noxious chemicals, it will smell like plants and herbs (strong & earthly while mixing, fades as you apply). You can add fragrance essential oil to the mix if desired; we keep it pure since many people have allergies to synthetic perfumes and they’re usually toxic poisons too—yuck. (3)Rinse-Out: our henna based dyes are powders. After mixing with water, they apply as a pudding-like paste. As it dries it will thicken (best consistency to administer all pigment & treatment qualities). So when you rinse, it will take a little longer than the chemical dyes. Use conditioner to make the process easier; just condition twice as you rinse-out. Other than that, it’s very similar—minus all the chemicals & synthetic nasties.
- Use quart size mixing bowl per 3.5oz packet(100g) and a spoon to mix.
- Cover any surfaces that may stain: untreated wood, carpet, fabric, etc.
- One packet colors straight, shoulder length hair (approximate). Thick and curly hair can require 25-50% more.
- Pour henna powder into bowl. Add hot, not boiling, water (approx 122º F) gradually to the powder.
Note: There’s no exact amount of water to add, just add little at a time to get to applicable paste consistency.
Similar to thick pudding or cake batter consistency.

Henna Beard Dye
Quick answer—Yep! Gentle, safe, and all natural.
Super-sensitive skin? The best practice is to spot test prior to application—no matter how pure the ingredients. Apply a small amount behind the ear or neck with a cotton swab. Wait 10 minutes. Observe results. Reactions to henna dyes are very rare.
If no adverse reaction, proceed with full application. And have confidence, it will actually nourish and mildly exfoliate the skin while it colors the whiskers—it only contains our proprietary Henna/Indigo/Herbal fusion. You’re in good hands.
We appreciate gents that like it simple & direct. Below is a recommended program to keep your beardy-face proper.
Many guys perform a “Thursday Night Ritual” (keeps you Weekend-Ready).
- come home from work Thursday evening.
- mix up a quick batch of HCL™ beard dye after eating dinner.
- apply to beard, goatee, or mustache (and/or hair).
- watch 30-60* minutes of favorite Sporting Program. *60 min for initial application
- shower before bed (NO soap on face, just warm water).
- wake up Friday morning and resume normal washing routine.
You’re now Weekend-Ready & all set for a full week of Beardy-Awesomeness!
Coverage. You have to cover all the whiskers for the full application term. If it’s not covered, it will not get color…it’s that simple. So, take your time, and apply to all the tricky spots. Use a combo of your gloved hand and a fine-toothed comb. If in doubt, apply more product.
*Super stubborn gray whiskers? Consider two back-back applications initially (Two 30 min treatments each).
No, most will be gone with your initial rinse. And then any trace will wash off easily when you shower (or wash face with soap).
Consider: We don’t add any synthetic perfumes to our products (many are known toxins & allergens). All HCL™ products are unscented—just the natural plants, flowers, and herbs that are crushed and milled. Hey, they’re a zillion times better than the chemical alternatives (many retail brands have warnings about esophagus and lung burn potential if chronically inhaled—Yikes!)
No, you should be fine. An organic, natural product is always recommended to maximize and maintain best color expression. And be sure to wait at least 24 hours before applying directly to dyed whiskers.
Quick Note: most aftershave products do contain alcohol. And it can be a little drying to the whiskers (dry, brittle whiskers won’t hold color as well). So try to avoid heavy splashing on your beardy-parts.
No, after you apply the dye, wait set time, and then rinse, it’s locked in.
Allow 8+ hours(overnight) to mature the color, and THEN wash face as usual.
You can kiss, eat, and rub all you want without worry.
This depends on a few factors; average beard color duration is about 10-14 days.
Factors that determine color longevity:
1. Whisker quality (coarse or soft) and overall health (protein content in whiskers).
2. How well you clean the whiskers prior to application.
3. How long you leave the product on your whiskers (min 60 min first application).
4. Rate that your facial hair grows (super fast growth may require weekly touch-ups).
5. Frequency of face washing & products used (less washing and mild detergents increase duration).
The Best Practice: Make it a routine. A weekly application. 60 min for initial; then 30 min for touchups.

I am a black woman who has been using rinses and dyes to cover my grey for the past 20+ years. This 2 Step Super-Rich Black Hair Bundle is the best all-natural hair condition, repair, shine, and color product I have seen. My hair was thinning and my scalp was flaky and dry from using dyes and relaxers. This henna bundle colored all of my grey hair, thickened my hair and gave it body, and made my scalp healthy again. I receive compliments about my hair everywhere I go.
Teri B. (Los Angeles) –
By the way, may I say your product is amazing. I was just about to give up on using henna altogether, too much time involve and inconsistent results. The mixing was smooth and the fact that I didn’t have to leave it on my hair for hours really will and did make a big difference in my life. I have to use the two step process and I was able to do my hair on a Friday night from start to finish. This is the best henna on the market! A new customer for life!
Thanks again!!

I decided to color my hair using Henna due to my sensitive scalp. This is the first time that I have ever used henna and the results I got from the ‘Black Hair Bundle’ was absolutely amazing. My hair is just below shoulder length, so I ended up using 2 x packets of the pure henna for the first step and 2 x packets of indigo for the 2nd step . The instructions included in the shipment were clear and concise and the best part was I did not have to let the pure henna (or indigo) sit for 6-hours or over-night before applying to my hair. It just cuts down on the whole process unlike other henna products you read about on-line. I do suggest that you use Wen cleansing conditioner to help with the removal of the henna, rather than plain conditioner as described in the instructions. Since Wen is a cleansing conditioner and NOT a shampoo, you are able to cleanse, condition and remove the henna all at the same time without tugging your hair. After I removed the henna and blow dried my hair, it felt much thicker and has a lovely deep rich black color and amazing shine. I can’t say enough great things about this product. The Black hair Bundle is great value for money and I will definitely purchase again.

I’ve used henna and chemical hair dyes over a number of years. I’ve never been happy with results using henna (I’ve tried regular henna and also pre-made “bricks” from a competitor). I’m also not at all happy about using toxic chemical hair dyes either. However, from an autoimmune illness my hair had become grey overnight (yes, this does happen despite what others say). It was a sudden onset of pre-mature greying. My co-workers and classmates reacted in shock to see this new appearance. Even strangers would approach me to comment because I’m young and they cannot believe that hair can be so grey. I didn’t want to dye my hair but from the number of times people would comment, it started taking a toll on my self esteem. First I started dying it only three times a year, then it became more often. My hair started thinning out, scalp becoming damaged, and hair rapidly becoming more grey. It got to a point where I had been dying my hair 1-2 weeks because the color would just fade. After my last chemical hair dye treatment, I decided enough was enough. I researched what could contribute to pre-mature greying (underlying celiac’s disease or gluten sensitivity, high sugar consumption , enzymes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15623346 ) so I recently started on addressing those areas. But, my hair still needed help. I stumbled upon Henna Color Lab, watched numerous YouTube videos on henna and decided I was going to give henna another try. I first prepared the Hair Color Lab henna, mixed with coffee instead of plain water and apple cider vinegar and let the mixture sit over night. I applied the henna and rinsed it out after 3 hours. I was so shocked at how orange my hair was, even more so shocked just how much grey hair I actually have (it’s 50% grey). I looked like a pumpkin and was on the verge of tears. I prepared the indigo mixture immediately after washing the henna out. The indigo was on my hair for 2 hours. The mixture turns green to blue, blue like you would not believe. It’s kind of cool. I was afraid of the results would be after I washed my hair, feeling immensely hopeless. But, once I removed the towel from my head I was SO surprised. I really couldn’t believe that my pumpkin stained all white hair has turned into a lustrous shade of black. It covered the temples really well, and definitely will need another application but to achieve this result without boxed chemical dyes, or a trip to the salon is unbelievable given henna and indigo are 100% natural. I’m completely regretting putting myself through all those years of chemical dyes, and wish I tried this much sooner.
The ONLY downside of the henna process is the time it takes to apply and rest (it is literally a full day affair for a two-step process). It is very messy, so be sure to lay towels down on the ground, on the counter, and wear clothing you don’t care for. I wish Henna Color Lab would open up hair salons just for this. If you have stubborn grey like I do, give this a try. I think it’s worth not poisoning our bodies for.

I’m Asian, and started to have gray hair since I was in high school and now in my mid 40s the gray has grown more and started to bother me a little bit. I started coloring my hair about 3 years ago with henna and nothing else. I’ve used the block henna but it only covered my grays about 50-60%. Today, I used the 2-step Black Hair Bundle and was very pleased and excited with how it came out!!! My gray is pretty much gone !!!! I know I’ll be using it again and will recommend it to my friends! The downside is the mess with applying it but compared to the block henna, this was easier to prepare and apply and a lot easiers to rinse off. THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT!
Lylah –
AWESOME PRODUCT! I went with a henna + indigo treatment because I have naturally sandy-brown hair, and wanted an extremely dark shade approaching black, but without looking fake, flat, and cheap like many dark commercial chemical colors. This gave me the perfect dimensional deep brown/black, and it looks natural! I’m so pleased! Will definitely be using this again, and maintaining the current shade.

I’m Indian with dark brown, almost-black hair that’s now, sadly, going gray. I want to stay all natural and, if possible, inexpensive (henna color lab is both!). I tried the “dark brown” mix and liked it–very nice color, but my grays were looking kind of light red/brown (better than white!). So I bought the two-step black bundle. Wow! Just like that, all grays are completely gone, right to the root. The color is still warm and brownish, not jet black as I had feared. I left the henna on 2 hours and indigo on an hour, and I may next time only leave the indigo on for 30 min (to make it a little more brown, less black still). Since my grays are in the front and top of my head, I don’t have to cover ALL my hair, so this bundle will last me a while. And it’s super conditioning. I added a little lemon juice to the henna, and some salt to the indigo. With straight hair, I don’t use conditioner to rinse it out, just water. I’d upload a pic here if the finished hair if you guys had the capability!

This kit is perfect. The whole process was way simpler than I anticipated because I actually kept to the recommended leave-in times. I used the wine red henna four years ago and the color was brilliant but the process of rinsing out was miserable. I realize now, that was because I left the henna in my hair OVERNIGHT. Not a good idea, people.
Anyway, I followed the instructions this time around. The rinsing was SO much easier and the deep natural black color is just as brilliant! Since I have breast-length curly hair, I had to use the whole kit at once, and I found the indigo more difficult to apply than the henna; simply because it was grainier. Since my hair was a burnished blonde color before this process (my natural color is medium/dark brown), I was worried the end result would turn out a bit green, but it doesn’t look green at all! There are certainly little light reflecting strands in there, but you can only see them in direct sunlight. The rich black is EVERYTHING!!
All in all, it was definitely a longer process than standard hair dye box kits, but the health, color, and shine my hair has afterwards is SO worth it. A wonderful product indeed!!
Joy Davey –
I am Asian with long, very thick and very very course black hair. I am a believer for this 2-step process for rich black hair. My stubborn silver gray here is no more, atleast for awhile, cant’ wait to see how long they last. I applied the henna first as intructed. After I washed the henna and dried my hair, I thought oh my god, my gray hair is yellow orangy, but after I applied the indigo, all my gray hair are now black. It totally covered my gray hair 100 percent. This is a keeper, but I will still use the other color like dark brown to cover my gray hair when I feel like having brown color on my gray hair. Thank you henna color lab.
Monica –
Truly 5 stars. I have brilliant white hairs sprinkled in my naturally black hair, and the two step covered them all beautifully. This was the first time I’ve colored my hair myself, and the process wasn’t too onerous. The henna mixed up well (I used lukewarm water and a healthy squirt of lemon juice, then applied plastic wrap to the surface and let it sit for about an hour while I washed my hair and got prepped). It applied very evenly even though there appeared to be big chunks in it. I left it in for 2 hours and the color was dark red and beautiful on the white hairs, pretty enough that I almost stopped there! The indigo smelled like peas, and had a crumblier texture after mixing with water (hot tap water and a pinch of salt this time). It still went on pretty easily, but definitely was much messier, leaving blue all over the sink and bathtub (it scrubbed off no problem). I left that on for one hour, but found that it started “melting” after about 40min (dark blue liquid was rolling out from under the cap, very messy!!), requiring a towel around my neck. It was also much harder to rinse out, but the conditioner helped get most of the leftover crumbs. The finished color was a nice even black, not too dark, and very natural looking. The indigo smell did hang around for a couple of days, which I didn’t particularly enjoy, but overall, I was very pleased with the kit. Shipping was fast, and customer service answered my application questions within 10min!

I am a black women with very thick, curly, very dark brown hair. I was starting to get come greys and didn’t want to use harsh chemical dyes as I have worked hard to grow my hair out this thick. I used this Super-Rich Black Hair bundle and loved my results. A few suggestions for others though: (1) this process is a bit messy. I would highly suggest getting a squeeze application bottle and cutting the tip so that the product can flow freely and you can have more control over the application process. (2) As the directions say, it could take up to 48 hours to see the full results. I would suggest, as do the instructions, to leave the henna on for the longest recommended time as the indigo needs to bind to it to create the jet black look.
The back of my head came out jet black because I started my application there and used alot more henna then I did in my front. Really drench your hair with the stuff to get an even coating.
All in all I liked my results. I will need to do another application as the front of my head is not completely jet black like the back. So happy this is natural. Please be patient though with the darkening process. 48 hours tops. Best of Luck!

I started using henna to cover gray in my hair about 1yr ago. I have gray mostly up front. I don’t like the time, expense, or heavy use of chemicals that would be required with chemically processed color. Henna Color Lab was the answer for me.
I originally started out using medium brown, and it made the gray less noticeable. The gray became orangey, more like a highlight.
I moved on to using the 2 step process for better coverage. And it was indeed a better balance for me. I am about 10% gray. I left the pure henna on for 1 hr, the pure indigo for 1 hr too. It came out great!
My hair is shoulder length, naturally curly, a tiny bit coarse, so rinsing out can take awhile. To cut down on the amount water used in the process I have found it better to rinse in the tub. I just slide down, put my head back, and massage my scalp. It’s a bit akward, but I never could get a great rinse in the shower with my type of hair. Totally worth it for me.
Good luck with your hair journey ladies & gents!

Love it!!! My hair is shiney and soft!!

Long story short I absolutely love Henna Color Lab, in no small part because of their amazing customer care. I’d recommend it to anyone.
I’ve been using their hair colors for a year now, from dark brown to mahogany to natural black, and I’ve learned a lot. First of all henna is a miracle for split ends and shine. Second, it’s an absolute mess and a pain to apply (worth it R.I.P my tub). Third, my hair hates indigo. I had a huge problem with it running off on everything I owned turning everything, including me, blue. Because of this the first time I tried the Natural Black color it barely turned my light brown hair a shade darker, and the second go I had to endure watching the beautiful cherry black disappear tragically fast.
This story has a happy ending though! I knew the problem wasn’t damage because my hair is virgin aside from this year of henna fun and the fading starts at the roots where my hair is obviously freshest. It also wasn’t running from heat or sulfate shampoo because I don’t use those anymore. Plain and simple some hair just hates indigo. So I put my faith in the company and sent an email asking for help. They got back to me scary quick and recommend this kit plus a few tricks to really get that indigo to bond. Over a month after I’ve used the kit and I can definitely confirm their advice was just right. I experienced minimal run off and the color is beautiful. It’s not jet black for me but a deep cherry black that shines and shifts in different light. And as always, my extra long hair looks so healthy from root to tip.
Thank you Henna Color Lab, and to everyone trying this happy hennaing and don’t give up!

Turned my black hair red and it became increasingly more brassy after several days. I followed the instructions. Total waste of time and money

My hair is light brown with grey and I’ve been using the dark brown and natural black mixes in an attempt to get that nearly black dark brown, but because my hair is so light, I need multiple applications and even then it will only go to a medium brown at my roots. I’ve been using henna in general for many years and Henna color lab for the past 2. Henna color lab is the easiest to use and the most reliable. I know what I’m going to get when I put it on. So, I decided to take the plunge and try the 2 step process. I’ve been apprehensive because I used to use pure henna and my hair was soooo orange! I’m pleasantly surprised that I don’t see any red after the indigo and my hair turned that perfect color I was trying to get. Looks like I just needed more henna for the indigo to bind to. While I don’t love having to do a 2 step process, it definitely beats multiple applications of the same product and still not getting my hair dark enough!
Glenn G –
First the good: The product did not cause allergic reactions, and the 2-step process yielded a much darker result than a single color. Then the not-so-good: The whole process took almost 3 hours; it is a lot of trouble. After applying the 2nd color, I got a noticeable green cast that lasted nearly 2 days before finally fading into the almost-black I was aiming for. The vendor will probably try to tell me what I did wrong, and might even decide not to post this review, but I don’t have this problem with other brands of henna coloring. I have decided it is too much trouble, and I don’t want a green beard for 2 days afterward.
