Advantages: shine, great coverage on grey hair

Disadvantages: messy

Well henna isn't the nicest or the easiest thing to use for colouring your hair but the end result is well worth it!! Amazing coverage, especially on grey hair, and the shine that it adds it's fantastic. It really can be a messy process so be prepared. Lush henna comes in blocks & for best results, grate the henna in to a bowl then cover it with a little boiling water. Be careful not to add too much as you don't want it to be too runny. Let it sit for a minute then give it a stir through. Get a pot full of boiling water on the cooker and place your bowl on top, making sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Heat through, until it's as hot to touch as you can manage without burning yourself then get applying!! It can be a very messy process so make sure that you use old towels to catch any drips. Apply all over your head then pop on a shower cap, then leave for as long as possible. Four hours is usually a good amount of time. It's qute gritty & a little difficult to wash out but keep going because it's worth it in then end!! Result....beautifully shiny, coloured hair!!

Summary: worth the effort
