I really loved the color and the shine, but my hair is breaking like crazy! I mixed mine with water, lemon juice and some oil. Help!

you can add mustard oil as it is hotter than other oil and it will secret color fster from the henna. yes, for conditioning i also add egg.

Just wanted to add my $0.02, i've always used this henna, because i love the looked and feel of my hair post treatment. I also suffered the same intense annoying breakage and dry hair (despite deep conditioning). I usually mixed mine with just lemon juice (cause i thought it made the color better). However, during my last use, i forgot to mix with LJ, and used distilled water + 1 tbsp of LJ. Although i did not get the luxurious color and soft thick texture, there was absolutely no breakage. My hair turned out great. I also added olive oil to my deep conditioner this time around. Maybe it was the olive oil in deep conditioner or the dash of LJ in the henna mix, i'm not sure.

What oil and how much lemon juice? I would try a deep conditioner, either home made, with something like argan or jojoba oil, or a good commercial one. Sounds like your hair dried out too much, which is not typical for henna. This henna already has amla in it, which provides the sour/acid component to develop the color. You really didn't need the lemon juice.

I used both And my hair looks great! Even though my natural color is blonde i have highlights And they stayed the same as when i colored it! Maybe you can try some hidratant creme!

Add a thinner consistency conditioner and give it time to mix in with the thicker conditioner. It's amazing how well it will work then.

I can't help much - I mix it with a medium brown to make the mix more "ashy". I really doubt that it will do anything to lighten any color hair but that's just a guess. Sorry.

It's very messy. It stains instantly. And yeah food color based dyes rinse out very easily. Mine went from vibrant purple to blonde roots and dark ends. It took my hair dresser 4 hours to get the color out of my hair.

My hair is very fine too. I use literally 4 drops on my fingertips, rub my hands together to spread the oil and then lightly rub over the ends of my hair. Any more than that and it weighs my hair down. With just the few drops it leaves my hair silky and soft. Amazing oil!

I just mix it in like any other hair coloring and it comes out fine. Just work it into a section at a time and then make sure all hair is covered with the coloring solution.

First can you tell me if you just used straight henna or did you mix with Indigo? If you just used straight henna then you will not be able to lighten it will stick. Regular shampoos that have sulfate in them will strip them a bit but if you have gray that might not be what you want. You can try honey, which carries natural peroxide in it and it will lighten it over time and give it highlights but will alter your red to a golden color which may not be what you want. If you are mixing with lemon it will lighten a bit but be careful with that cause the combination will make your hair a bit dry. let me know if u have any other questions.

I don't know if you read my previous review of this product, and I am shocked your hair turned green! I only wash my hair twice a week and I used this shampoo and conditioner each time. It did turn my platinum blonde hair a lighter violet color and my medium blonde color turned purple (the tint fades after using a different shampoo in a few washes). To be honest, I got a ton of compliments on my hair after using Pravan because the purple did look pretty cool, but I wasn't using the product to get purple hair! If your hair is completely platinum blonde I would consider a different brand unless you are looking for an overall violet tint. Hope this helps!

There are some great non-greasy leave-ins, you have to find the right one for your type. I thought it was a decent product, I only used it once. Make sure you are getting all your nutrients internally to help your hair:omega 3, lots of water, and certain vitamins,antioxidants, and minerals. And avoid anything that would strip your hair on the surface. Do some intense research on your breakage situation. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day.

I mix mine with olive oil and coconut oil, everything in thirds. I also put some in my water bottle for a refresher for my hair. During the winter I also add some conditioner to the water bottle for added moisture. Just remember to shake it up right before spraying because the water oil will not mix.

I have color treated hair. I combined the conditioner with the shampoo when I used it with good results. I did this because using the shampoo alone made my hair feel stripped.

I used a straightener a tiny bit on the other wig i got from taobaopit, and it make it a little more crunchy and split-end looking. Essentially, you could probably fix it a little (like 1 or 2 quick curls at most) but not much before damaging it.

I am having the same issue and I tried different things like using a hot blow dryer every 5-ten minutes so the color can take on the grays,I also tried leaving it on longer and also adding sage to the mix,using hrgrogen peroxide beforehand to soften the gray hair. I read all their instructions and although it did leave my hair nice and shiny it did not cover most of my grays and I will not be using this product ever again. i tries 4 times so i just give up and will try Tints of Nature next.

I have not used the product because it was so confusing to me. It comes in one pouch that you measure out and turn into a paste. My hair dresser said, if you use it, don't try to get highlights because your hair will break off. Needless to say, I did not try to mix it up...Good luck

I found cleaning the wig hard but the ends would get tangled so i just used a light detangling spray and a comb and just combed lightly through it, and also to recurl it i found that if you just pinned up the curls and added some hairspray it looks brand new, but cause its synthetic it was way to difficult to clean.
