product did not do as advertised [SEP] beware if you are planning on using this to cover gray hair i bought this because i recently had surgery that affected my hair medications and anesthesia made my hair very brittle and i began loosing it my stylist recommended we try this since it was all natural and would not hurt the new hair growththis product was a joke my stylist mixed to specifications included with the henna mix with water apply and wait mins this stuff smells like baby food and felt like mud on my hairafter mins he washed with water per instructions my hair was limp and dull there was no color change to the gray hair and the dark hair seemed a little darker but not muchi waited the hours like it said before washing with soap non dandruff shampoo since this could cause your hair to turn green this was not on the packaging but was included from the shipper on invoice i had to lather rinse times before my hair felt clean then i had to apply a conditioner and let it sit for mins to get the hair to feel tangle freeso in the long run i ended up still having the gray hair which was the reason i ordered this to cover it i followed all directions and even ordered shades darker then my own hairguess i will use the remaining powder for tattoos or fertilizer in my organic garden
