***added info. If you need to cover grey hair, use the box with Red Fox first. Do the entire process with Red Fox leaving on for about 3 hours If you have lots of grey. Then if possible wait one day and then do this color. This will help you avoid seeing green in the end result. Also, for those new to henna, it’s a commitment. Once you apply henna it’s pretty impossible to go back to other types of hair dyes. Hope this helps. Great color but be advised your neck may turn bluish for a few days. Probably from the indigo. The regular dark brown with lion on package does not do that. But this color is darker. We’ve tried many Light Mountain henna colors. Great company that’s been around since the 1970s. This one is the messiest. However the dark cherry chocolate color it yields is stunning. Happy Hennaing. Read more

While I was forced to try two other brands of henna-for-hair products over the years, because Light Mountain Black and Dark Chocolate were sold out at the local shop; I went back to these Light Mountain favorites, planning ahead by ordering in 3's through Amazon. Using any henna-for-hair is a bit messy. My routine involves disposable gloves, olive oil all around my hairline and ears (too), a drape over my sink top, damp paper towels to wipe any errant henna off my skin, a glass container to microwave the purified water for the henna, and sour cream as a mix-in and my favorite cologne to mask the natural smell of the henna mixture (sort of). I've tried squeeze bottles (with widened, nipped tips) and plastic spatulas as applicators; but I've settled on scooping up handfuls of the thick henna mass from the glass mixing container with gloved hands, plopping onto my scalp/hair sections and massaging into the roots and strands. I toss the soiled gloves and 3 X wrap my head-hair piled on top-with narrow plastic wrap from the local Daiso Japanese import store. Then I pull an old black tee shirt up to and over my hairline. The tee absorbs any drips around my face and neck that are bound to happen during the 4-hour "curing" process. When the 4 hours have lapsed, I head to the shower with NO SHAMPOO (per instructions) but with a heavy, creamy hair conditioner to massage through my hair/scalp once most of the henna has been rinsed out. I leave the conditioner on for 3-5 minutes and then thoroughly massage/rinse my hair. Grey is gone and my hair is black/brown and silky after it's dried. I do not shampoo for 3-4 days, per Light Mountain instructions. I want to add that my hair is naturally black and shoulder length, with about 20 % gray, mostly along the front and sides. Importantly, it's worth mentioning that I made the switch from traditional - even luxury branded - hair color because of warnings I'd read about the health hazards inherent with black hair dyes, in particular. I recommend Light Mountain Henna Products. Read more

I'm not new to henna, I'm surprised there are so many positive reviews for this product. First time I used this, I followed instructions.. ( I have the brown henna,). After using it, I had days when blue color read coming off my scalp(from the indigo). The dye left more of a red henna color. My hair felt really dry and brittle too, a lot of fall out. Read more

Follow instructions. Distilled water, no metal. Left on for 2 hours. This color is quite cool. Actually flirting with blue more than red. What I like most about henna is that it makes my hair feel fuller, especially at the ends of my long hair. My hair feels soft, full, and just pretty. Pictures: before, and 48 hours later after shampooing. My hair was either virgin before or some left over henna at the bottom. I don’t recall. But no chemical dyes on it. Read more

I had all possible colors in my hair: red , pink, yellow , and orange after a series of blond highlights and red reinforcement. I was using pink color shampoo to keep the color . It dried extremely my hair and the ends were breaking and thin. Disaster. My hairstylist said we can always add a black dye , but I did not want to use more chemicals. She said henna will make it green. But after many reviews I decided for this one, and can not be happier than now. I followed all the instructions, and although it was said you had to use the normal henna then indigo , I just decided for the dark chocolate color to check if it was enough to cover color. Left it for 2,5 hours, even rinsed it in the backyard with a hose (to avoid the mess, saw the tip in YouTube). Waited 48 hours to shampoo. It not only covered beautiful the color , but my ends are strong and healthy again. I bought the pack of 3 and will happily use it again in couple of months Pics are from before and after. Read more

My hair is light/medium brown and the dark chocolate turned almost black, which is fine for me. I mixed the whole bag, and it turned out rather think, and was a little tricky to apply and heavy on my scalp. I had some shedding afterwards. My hair has a very slight green tint though. The insert says that something went wrong and to contact them, but it’s not that bad, and I know it will fade. Directions say to boil distilled water in a non-metal container, but I didn’t have one. Make sure you get the right consistency otherwise applications will be even more difficult. It rinses out easily. I shampooed mine afterwards, and my hair still has a bad smell. They say not to shampoo for 24 hours for a longer lasting color. Hope this helps someone. I’ve had better experiences with Light mountain in the past with a lighter color like mahogany. Read more

I love the brand and have been using it for years, since 2019. Randomly among different colors. But this color (Dark Chocolate) didn’t work on my hair. I could notice a shine on the colored hair but the gray hair barely changed similarly with the Color the Gray. I’ll give a try again to my first choice again(Spicy Cinnamon) and if it doesn’t work like it used to in the past, I’m sadly done with the brand. Read more

This brand is my favorite henna! It works really well. My hair is so soft after using it. I do leave it on longer than recommended. I also use the cover your gray step 1 before using the color henna. Read more
