If you're having gray hair and dreaming of a chocolate brown hair color
but you don't want to use chemicals on your hair I am happy to tell you Nature has the solution for you: you'll obtain more than satisfying results on your white / grey hair using henna!
I'm tired of reading on important magazines like the italian "Donna Moderna" articles like this one: Henna doesn't cover white hair. It's an italian article, but using google translate you'll find out that essentially they say using henna on grey white hair you may only obtain a red / orange color.This article only misinforms people and it creates confusion, just because the main purpose of the article is to promote chemical dyes.
In the below video tutorial you may see an updated version of how to prepare & apply henna in order to cover your grey hair naturally & successfully!
The video tutorials are in Italian, but English subtitles are available!
Well, in order to debunk the myth according to which henna does not cover gray hair, in this post, you'll find not only my testimony with BEFORE & AFTER pictures, but also other women' experiences: they wanted to share with us the results they obtained by dying their white hair with henna and herbal hair colors.
Paid advertisements from the beauty industry lead the press to often choose to promote a product by misinforming people. They choose to do so also because they know that if people were more informed, we would all opt for the natural products our Nature generously gifted us with..
I have always thought that the right thing would be for everyone of us to be able to make our own choices, fully conscious of their pros and cons. Even though henna has its cons, not being able to dye gray hair is not among those.
Therefore, does henna dye gray hair or not?
In this photo you can see: my grey regrowth, the 75-80% of it being white (you can see it in the video belowas wellas I wanted to remove all doubts about the pictures' accuracy), on the left you can see my chocolate brown hair color obtained with henna (my white hair perfectly covered) while on the bottom right you can see the unique highlights that henna gives to my hair under the golden light of the sunset.
Quoting the article of the magazine I talked about at the beginning of the post, the author only says: "Henna does not cover gray hair, but it dyes it orange. And the final result might be an unpleasant surprise".
Yes, it can be an unpleasant surprise, but only if we give credit only to one source and if we do not deepen our research...
How to go from almost 100% grey hair to a medium brown hair color using henna?
It does not look like orange or red hair, isn't it?
Years ago, when I first started to be interested in herbal hair dyes, it was very difficult for me to find online clear and comprehensive information about them.
At the beginning, I was stuck too, because all my researches pointed out that white hair, after the henna application, would have become orange or red. So, since I didn't want to become a redhead, henna wasn't a valid alternative to chemical dyes, for me.
Fortunately, even though more than one source said that I decided not to give them credit and I continued my research all through the web and I figured it out.

From Mahogany to Chocolate Brown Hair Color using Henna & Herbal Hair colors!
So, will you help me debunk the wrong myth that "henna does not dye gray hair" or not? ;)
I am very happy with the henna and katam I bought. It was the first time I bought something here. I never used katam before - only henna, but became interested after watching the videos. I only have had one application yet, but I am already happy with the color. It was easy to apply and rinse out, so the quality is very good. Everything was well packaged and safely send.
I received my order in time and the products are of very good quality! Still working out problems regarding the mixing together 3 ingredients (lawsonia, indigo & Cassia), since I do not always get homogeneous results in my hair (spots of red or bluish dominance). I highly recommend the products to people who love natural beauty care.
I AM LOOKING FOR A DARK BROWN AND USED 50/50 INDIGO & RED HENNA. LEFT IT ON FOR 6 HRS. JUST A LITTLE LIGHT SO I THINK I NEED TO INCREASE THE INDIGO AND LEAVE ON A LITTLE LONGER. WAY EASY TO MIX AND USE. THE SHOWER CAP AND WOOL HAT HAD ME DRINKING LOTS OF ICE WATER AS I DID MY HOUSE WORK FOR I WAS A LITTLE WARM!! I DID'T MIND THE MILD GRASSY SMELL AT ALL BUT THE RINSE WAS COLLLDDD...LOL I WILL BE ORDERING AGAIN SOON
This is the stuff dreams are made of! I mix 2 tablespoons Sidr and 2 tablespoons hydrated Fenugreek powder (I keep a small jar of it in the fridge because I use it as a hair mask and facial mask). Add hot water to get a consistency you like, whisk it till frothy, let set 5 minutes or so and use as shampoo. I will never again subject my hair to chemically laden shampoos again! No more hair fall out, the Sidr preserves my henna color and the Fenugreek gives me great body.
I buy several of your products, the red henna being one of them. My hair is finally healthy looking and easier to take care of! The color your red henna gives me is unbelievable! thank you for the high quality of your products!!
These products are like putting gold in your hair. You have the satisfaction of knowing you are not harming your hair, as a matter of fact, you are totally nourishing your hair as well as making your hair as beautiful as possible without even one chemical. I am a customer for life. Rozalia has guided me through the entire process many times answering my silly questions and alleviating my fears. She is a great lady. I am so appreciative of her for being as honest as she is. Even if you don’t like her answer, she tells you how it is. You could not get more for your money than these products. I am not paid or compensated in any way for this review. This is all coming from the bottom of my heart!
Rozalia is super wonderful at getting back to me with any questions and concerns I had regarding coloring and what percentage of product to use. I purchased indigo and lawsonia which I have not used yet, but the products look great and they are 100 percent with no fillers as in some other henna powders. I would certainly recommend Beautilicious to anyone wanting to color their hair with natural non toxic products! Shipping was fairly quick and easy considering I am in Chicago Illinois.
I diluted henna with Cassia 45/55. I’m happy to have a nice even brown without using indigo. My hair was chemically treated before and after that I used a store bought henna I’m sure was cut with sand. Now my hair is even and grey roots are mostly covered. Next time I will increase the henna 75. Great product!
I am so absolutely thrilled with all products, especially the Katam, I have purchased from you. My hair has never been as healthy as it is now. After 20 plus years of using chemical color and shampoo, it took almost 5 months to correct all the damage-and your products helped me do it. You have a customer for life.
Having purchased the pack of 3 colour hennas I’ve been very happy with the outcome. With guidance from Rozalia I managed to cover my grey using two step applications. The final colour resulted in a lovely deep auburn/copper with much shine. Will be continuing to use these products.
Absolutely loved applying this henna. I applied a mix of katam, lawsonia and cassia and could not be more happy with my choice. IT REALLY COVERS GRAYS (i have less then 10%) and i applied it for less then 4 hours.
The colour is so beautiful, never could imagined i finally could have a warm brown tone that enhances my natural color.
So happy! Thank you Rosalia for being a champion on women's natural beauty.
Very high quality of the products. I colored my hair with red henna and katam (50/50) and got brown color. My grey hair were fully covered so I am satisfied. Also the product for hair care (Methi) was good. I used it in stead of a shampoo and it gave a good result. My hair were clean and it gave me a nice volume. I like how it smels too, it reminds me of chesetnuts=) Good job!
Very good handling of order with pront delivery. And the products are of quality as describe on the website i tried the products at didnt get the color i wanted, but second time i increase the amount of red henna to cover my grey and i was much happier than the first time and when i tied the 3rd time i will increase the amount of red henna and i will see what i get. So far i enjoy the product and happy to recomend this website.
I love your products as well as your follow up service and advice to help me get the color I want! Not to mention, my irritation on my scalp from chemical colors is completely resolved and my hair seems so much thicker: Thank you so much!
this is my 2nd purchase of both.
I like the fact that my scalp feels very fresh although I have the mixture on for 4 hours. hair fall has lessen. mixture does not stain clothes or tiles like the chemicals in hair dyes.
colour is nice and I think once I've perfected the application technique, colour will be perfect.
intend to order indigo soon.. to mix all colours together as in certain areas of grey, colour is more reddish orange than the rest.
I'm happy with the results so far and won't be using chemicals on my hair.
I have been coloring the gray roots of my brown hair with a combo of indigo, cassia, and henna by myself for 14 months now. I am about 90 percent gray through the crown. I measure up a 30 gram total combo of the three and that easily covers my roots once a month. My hair has really come back from a sad place. Around three years ago I decided to quit chemicals on my curly hair. I found two different salons that did henna color but as we moved, I decided to try the henna color myself. Rozalia's Blog and Youtube videos coached me through the learning curve. I am forever grateful to her for making my hair life so relaxed and happy. We all know what healthy hair means - She is a saint!
This was my first time using this kind of products and I am very happy with my purchase. Rozalia has been super kind and replied to all of my questions. I was so happy with everything that I got more!
