Question 1

Can I get highlights after using this product? Or will it turn my highlights green like other henna products do.

Accepted Answer

There is no way to get "highlights".  If you start with 100% white hair, it is possible to achieve ash blonde with neutral henna after leaving on over an hour.  Any other color darker than white, you won't see any color.  And no, it cannot lift grays - you need peroxide for that! It works great for redheads (we turn white, and never get grays), mixing some of this into henna 30/70 or so, or 25/75, it doesn't have to be exact, gives a great result.

Question 2

Dose it change your hair color?

Accepted Answer

Yes it absolutely does!  Just like any hair dying does.  But only the hair you put it on, your roots will still be your natural color so this product must be reapplied each month.  This is Cassia Obovata which is also called "blonde henna".  Same product.  It 'stains' proteins with a yellow molecule.  So white hair turns yellow, not blonde technically.  I wish.  I mix this with strawberry blonde (75% this product, 25% strawberry blonde) on my white hair in the front, weird charcoal grey in the back.  It makes a perfect light strawberry blonde in the front (the product called strawberry blonde makes my white hair orange) & coats the dark in the back making have reddish highlights.  It's a perfect combination & I get lots of compliments.  Don't bother with the mixing it & letting it "steep" (some people even say for as long as over night).  It's totally unnecessary.  I've been using henna (I used to use regular red henna on my mousy brown hair) for over 40 years.  I have to re-do every 3 weeks (still-even tho I'm old & grey, my hair still grows out fast).  Mix with hot water & lemon juice (50/50).  I recently started using a water/lemon juice/aloe vera liquid (which I drink every day-eliminates constipation even with medications that cause that) & will always do so from here out.  Wish I'd tried it sooner.  Great extra conditioner!   I've tried different teas (chamomile-yellow tea, hibiscus-red tea) & didn't really notice a difference but it can't hurt if you're going for one of those colors with an extra boost.  Worth a try. Mix until the consistency of thin-style yogurt.  Henna is always an experiment the first several times till you get it down.  I put the henna on (you have to get every strand of hair so take the time to make small sections to coat) then a shower cap (you can wrap your head in plastic wrap) then a big towel on top of it all.  I use a close pin to hold the towel.  Henna is done WHEN IT STARTS TO DRIP DOWN THE BACK OF YOUR NECK.  In the summer that's about 2 1/2 hours, in the cold of winter (I don't keep the temp up very high) it may take 3-3 1/2 hours. I then wash it out easily using ONLY CONDITIONER- NO SHAMPOO.  Slips right off.  Be sure to use henna on clean hair that you DIDN'T condition while showering.  You want your hair to have NO products on it or the henna won't stick as well.  Hope this helps ladies.

Question 3

How is it for 4B hair

Accepted Answer

I have no idea what 4B hair means.  Cassia has a yellow cast.  It does cover light grey hair and creates a blonde effect.  For all hair colors darker than grey or blonde, it is an excellent conditioner, making hair thicker and more manageable.

Question 4

This gonna dye my hair on red or blonder???

Accepted Answer

If you have blonde or red hair, it MIGHT give you more blonde highlights. It will not change your hair color. It might not do anything but condition it.
