This is a plant-based red henna hair dye from The Henna Guys, made for ginger and natural red tones. It is USDA-certified organic. It colors hair, covers grays and conditions as it dyes.
The base is pure henna (Lawsonia inermis), milled from the plant into a powder and triple-sifted for a smooth paste. Different shades are made by blending henna with other natural ingredients. It is made in small batches.
To use it, mix the powder with warm, distilled water to a yogurt-like consistency in a glass bowl. Let it sit 8 to 10 hours to activate, then apply from root to tip and cover with a shower cap or plastic wrap. Leave it on for 3 hours, as longer gives better color. Rinse with cool water until it runs clear, and do not shampoo for 48 hours. Do a strand or skin test first, since allergic reactions are possible.
