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...

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.

So, will you help me debunk the wrong myth that "henna does not dye gray hair" or not? ;)
I was always interested in trying Henna but reluctant to do so from many horror stories out there. I started showing white/gray hair in my mid 20’s. I am now in my 40’s this have a lot of white/gray, that is really significant, especially on the most noticeable areas... on the frame of my face. I am pregnant and really struggled with having all the white hair. I researched quite a bit and fortunately came upon Rozalia and her videos on You Tube. I felt very confident in the product, as one concern has always been the purity of other Hennas. Also her descriptive video tutorials and blogs gave me the confidence to know how to use the products and how to mix and apply. I did two consecutive treatments using a mixture of Lawsonia and Katam to achieve a dark brown color; using less Lawsonia in second round. I feel I need more Lawsonia in the first try to cover the whites. It worked out so wonderfully!! I have more of a red tone that I am used to but it blends so well and actually looks more natural than the typical chemical dye. Hair color is supposed to have dimension. My hair also feels healthier and has more body and shine. I plan to do another treatment this weekend (4 weeks from my first try). I feel like the white regrow is not as noticeable due to the dimension of color from the Henna. At this rate I am so pleased that I feel it is safe to say, I will to be a Henna user for life!! Again I want to emphasize that Rozalia’s tutorials are so important to take the time to watch and read. So glad I found this product and teacher!
I want to thankyou from the bottom of my heart :)
For the delivery and the katam +lawsonia+cassia, I just finished the 2 steps process and it looks very good. No white hair.
Finally! ( I developed a severe allergy to ppd.. and thanks to you I can color my hair again)
Thankyou!
Have been using katam, indigo and Lawsonia for almost a year. Will never go back to chemicals. Hair fall has decreased and I'm very happy with hair health!
It has been more than a year since starting the beautilicious hair care program and I can say I am very pleased with everything and my hair is the healthiest it has ever been!
I was amased with how easily it is applied AND rinsed, even with just water!
I have been covering my grey hair for years with lawsonia and idigo, but of poor quality and by unknown origin,and the results were mediocre and the procedure really troubling! here in greece nobody knows how henna works or where it comes from!
First time i tried Rosalia's henna and i m going to be using it regurarly from now on! Also she's the most informed source about henna that i ever found online, she really knows what it is all about! Thank you, Rosalia and team!
I purchased here red henna, indigo and cassia. The powders are surprasingly fine milled. They were mixed to perfectly homogenic paste which was so easy to apply. The ratio was recomended me personally by Rozalia trouth the Messenger and due to her valueable assistanse the results are just great. My true ashy brown with golden highlights is back!

This review is for my 2nd application after 3 weeks of applying Lawson and Katam 50/50. This time I want to turn my 2% white hairs black by using Lawson on the first day and Katam on the following day. The Lawson dissolves quickly and easy to apply on my roots. It turned my black/dark brown hairs a shade of wine red and my white hairs almost a bright orange. Next day I applied the Katam, however, to my surprise I found the Katam very difficult to apply. The powder texture is thick and when added with warm water the powder bubbled up. Also, I kept having to add water to the mixture because it kept drying out and turns into chunks. This goes the same when applied on hair and it flicks to everywhere. Not happy! Reason it gets 5 stars is due to the end result. My black/dark brown hairs turned a dark walnut brown with hints of red wheni it catches the lights, and my white hairs a darker reddish brown (didn't turn black yet). I 'd really appreciate if you have some suggestions to make Katam easier to apply. Thank you!
Lawson and Katam shipped by DHL arrived a few days later to Boston, US. Nice! First time i applied Lawson and Katam 50/50 on my roots using three TSP each. Only use for some but increasing white hairs on my roots. Smooth mixture and easy to apply with no drips. I used a foil cap and wrapped a heated hair towel above it and then let it sit for four hours (reheating the towel every half hour). I did not wash my hair after with diluted shampoo (which I later regret) as you recommended, but did a final cold rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar. My hairs felt really smooth, look shinier, and a little darker than my natural black/dark brown hair. The white hairs turned a light reddish/brown orange that compliment some of my lighter brown hair. A day later, my head itch like crazy because I skipped the shampoo part, which I did do on my second henna three weeks later with no itch! Thank you!
I love using Katam on my hair to naturally color my hair with henna a darker shade than what henna alone would provide. Indigo gives me headaches, so katam is a great alternative!
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.
