Dawn Mellowship reviews Red Cacao hair colour made by providers of fresh handmade beauty products, Lush, for Hippyshopper.com. For more info about me see my myspace page at www.myspace.com/dawnmellowship
The henna from Lush is mostly coco butter, so it acts as an actual hair treatment. :) It's a really nice product. But again, if you prefer another company's product, that's fine, too.
If you go to the Lush online forums, there are suggestions to enhance the colour. Want more red? Use red wine instead of water. Want deeper tones? Use coffee! :D And so on and so forth.
VICTORIALYKEROCKS, No.. it's not bad for your hair providing that you are using BAQ henna only. Google the benefits of "Pure henna vs. commerical dyes"? That's what I've been doing for days now. I wish I would have researched this sooner.
I have used both traditional henna powder is far better, but make sure you get a good brand like jamila you can get in on the net. it's more value for money too.
It's probably the acidity of the lemon in it, try doing mostly lemon but dilute it with a water or brewed tea if you like. Also add oil to the henna paste, i add olive but sunflower also works well, be generous, or you could add alma oil or powered if you can find it. I found that doing this makes a huge different as the lemon can be a bit harsh on the hair. Hope this helps.
@larolsen Thanks for the advice on trusted henna brands. Can you recommend a good Indigo brand?

It only goes red if you wrap your hair in clingfilm. It says so on their site.
