Henna Maiden has a strawberry blonde that you could try. It is available at amazon and its own site.

I dyed my hair before I started my transition last year in Jan and started my transistion in Apil 2011 and BC’d in Feb 2012, so now I have all natural hair no relaxer and the color is still there. My ends are the dyed color and I want it gone and I would love to color my hair with Henna. My question is, can I use Henna on my hair even though I still have the dye on it? Or would I need to continue to grow it out first? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I read that the Jamila henna is permanent. Is that true? so basically if i wash it out the color stays?

I use Jamila. I had to work on finding my perfect henna mix. I mix mine with amla powder or indigo to deepen the red. I add coconut oil and some other oils, not much, but I have long hair so I use a whole box of henna and 1 box of indigo so adding a teaspoon of oil just makes the rinse out so much easier. I also rinse out w/ conditioner. You should not use a shampoo freshly hennaed hair, you should wait a day or two in order to allow the color to settle. I also apply a deep conditioner after rinsing out. It took me a fews attempts to get it right for me.

Don’t use henna compounds. Henna doesn’t produce any other color but red. You have to mix henna w/ other powders such as indigo, cassia, amla, or teas, coffees to darken the red. Use body art quality henna powder such as Jamila. It’s finely sifted and it doesn’t contain in metals. when you make your mixture, add some olive oil or coconut oil. Apply your henna mix to damp hair and when it’s time to rinse, the oil makes rinsing easier and your hair won’t feel dry. Also apply a deep conditioner after rinsing henna, to moisturize the hair.

The Henna may not have been fresh in the store. It does get old. I recently bought Jamila a 2011 crop. If you don’t want your grey to turn bright red, you should mix it with Indigo. Mix the henna first. Let the dye release overnight and add the Indigo about 15 minutes before applying the henna. The Indigo and also amla powder when added w/ henna deepens the red. Indigo with henna can actually color your hair black.

I have a query. Which would be the best type of Henna product for my hair. Going back to natural afro hair from a perm but have lots of grey. Only want black dye to cover grey but have had past bad reaction to dye before (ie. severe facial rash, eyelids, etc). Which Henna product would be best to avoid allergic reaction?

Taking the plunge this week! I will probably sleep in mine too! Thanks for this suggestion. I am 95% sure that I’m going to try Jamila henna. Are you familiar with this brand and if so, do you have any tips for someone who is trying hemma for the first time to cover grey streaks? Any help possible will be deeply appreciated. Also, is there a specific color of Jamila henna that I should buy for my dark brow-black natural hair? My goal is to cover up the greys!

Is there a specific color of Jamila Henna or is one box for all heads?
