Henna hair dye is a wonderful alternative to chemical hair dyes. Henna is a naturally grown plant that when smashed to a powder and mixed with water and lemon juice turns into a thick paste, that can be used for henna skin art and hair dye.
Henna can turn your hair from blond to red, light brown to auburn and dark brown to almost black. The more blond streaks in your hair the redder your hair will appear. I first hennaed my hair earlier this summer and it turned out so well! My hair is a light brown with natural blond highlights, and after hennaing it it turned to a medium auburn with red streaks. The longer you leave the henna paste in you hair the redder the hair will become. I left the paste in my hair for about 3 hours. For example, here is a before and after pic of someone who hennaed their hair:
A great store that sells henna is LUSH, an awesome handmade cosmetics store. (Plus they're Cruelty Free!) They sell four shades of henna, Caca Brun, Caca Marron, Caca Rouge and Caca Noir. Read here why they call their henna "caca".
Try henna and you'll never go back to regular dye again!
