Light Mountain Natural Organic 3 Piece, Auburn

I love this henna. So natural and simple. I had breast cancer before and didn't want to use chemicals anymore, yet still wanted the look of red hair (I'm naturally light brown). This henna mixes well, sits well, develops well, and gives my hair a healthy stone shine after I use it. Each little box comes with plenty of henna powder, instructions, gloves, and a plastic cap to use when developing. I definitely suggest watching their videos on YouTube prior to using... they give great tips and ideas for making it look the best it can. I'm on my 2nd box and will stick with this brand and color (red, with the fox on the box) forever. LOVE IT!!!

Overall I would say its a great hair dye. No chemicals and turned my hair a pretty color. I did add paprika to it as well as cinnamon, I don’t recommend the paprika tho I had a horrible skin reaction to it. Please make sure you do a test on your skin before hand. Also for reference my hair is medium to dark blonde and now in side my hair is auburn and outside it’s more of a natural color. It does oxidized as time goes on and now I feel like my hair is turning more of a less natural hair color so might buy the bright red. But overall If you’re looking for a natural hair dye, definitely recommend this one.

This henna is wonderful! I have experimented with other brands that didn’t work nearly as good as Light Mountain (stay away from Coloura - horrible product and customer service). I have dark brown to black hair and this has done a great job covering my all of my greys and it made my hair feel thicker and healthier. My hair is down to my waist in length and one box was enough to cover all my hair and then some. I loved it so much I just purchased another 3 boxes because I know I’ll be using this once a month.Note: you will be washing it out of your hair for a few shampoos and it will transfer a bit of a blue ish dye so if stay away from light coloured jackets or shirts you may not want to ruin with dye. It gets all over my hands when I do my hair but washes off easily. If you have white or light sheets I would suggest buying a black pillowcase to sleep on until you see the water run clear after shampooing because I’m sure it will transfer throughout the night (I have a black silk pillowcase so I didn’t see any transfer but I’m sure it would). It has a very earthy henna scent which doesn’t bother me but you’ll notice it when your hair is wet for about a week after. All a small price to pay for a natural dye without any harmful chemicals that really works. I used to use Clairol Naturals but it has so many harmful chemicals and would wash out within a week. This henna lasts me 3x longer and my hair feels stronger and healthier than ever. It covers all of my greys so well but after about 3 weeks I can notice a few popping up again. I only shampoo 3 times a week so if you’re use to shampooing every day it may not last you as long.All in all 5 stars and I’m very glad I’ve found this product. Highly recommend if the cons don’t bother you and you have the time and patience to apply it.Tip: mix 3/4 of a teaspoon of guar gum in the powder before mixing it with hot water (not boiling) until it’s a good yogurt like consistency and let sit for 15 - 20 mins before applying. The guar gum helps bind the henna so it’s not drying up falling and flaking all over the place. It’s a major game changer and I personally wouldn’t even attempt to colour my long hair without it. You can buy it on Amazon for about $10 but it will last forever and you can even use it for cooking. After applying I wrap up my head with a shower cap and then cling film and sit near my fireplace rotating around to keep it warm as it helps activate the henna (a blow dryer also works to warm it up if you do that every 30 mins ish) and then I rinse it out with conditioner until the water runs clear. You shouldn’t shampoo for 24 hours after but the longer the better if you can go a couple of days. If you use conditioner make sure you don’t use anything with proteins in it and same goes for shampooing prior. You should use an anti residue shampoo like baby shampoo before the henna (no conditioner) and then I used Hempz conditioner after the henna treatment (no shampoo).Photo: top of my head where I have most of my greys.

My hair is light/medium brown and the dark chocolate turned almost black, which is fine for me. I mixed the whole bag, and it turned out rather think, and was a little tricky to apply and heavy on my scalp. I had some shedding afterwards. My hair has a very slight green tint though. The insert says that something went wrong and to contact them, but it’s not that bad, and I know it will fade. Directions say to boil distilled water in a non-metal container, but I didn’t have one. Make sure you get the right consistency otherwise applications will be even more difficult. It rinses out easily. I shampooed mine afterwards, and my hair still has a bad smell. They say not to shampoo for 24 hours for a longer lasting color. Hope this helps someone. I’ve had better experiences with Light mountain in the past with a lighter color like mahogany.

I love to use Light Mountain Henna! It is always the same. It works well and leaves my hair feeling soft and strong. I bought this just for the conditioning benefits. It doesn’t tint your hair but it conditions and strengthens it! Great product and a great price!
