I used this product and the red henna with the fox on the box mixed together on my dark brown hair. It's great - it's fun to mix the product and use add-ins. I used raw apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and cinnamon the last time I tinted my hair with Light Mountain. Note that this product will not lighten your hair, but will add lovely highlights and more of a stain on your hair. The effect gets more dramatic the longer you keep the product on your hair. If you have a gray hair here or there, it will turn a vibrant shade of red after you apply henna. This looks great if you only have a few, but if you have a lot, the company recommends you use their Color the Gray Line. Also, if you've colored your hair, the lighter parts of your hair that are damaged from chemical processing will pick up more color. My faded out highlights looked really nice after I used henna.
Follow the directions on the box exactly, including the strand test, and you'll be pleased. You can redo the application every four weeks. Just glop it on your head, wrap in the plastic cap, and read a magazine for the amount of time you you decided on from your strand test.
Oh, and the scent is very organic - like fresh hay. Add more cinnamon if you don't like the smell, but I like it much better than the harsh, synthetic smell of dyes in the salon. I'd like to give this product 4 1/2 stars. The 1/2 star is because the application is rather messy, but you get better at controlling the splattering each time you use it.
And don't listen to scare tactics if you tell your stylist that you're using henna and she tells you it will ruin your hair. This product contains only henna and indigo ... not chemical salts and the para-phenylenediamine (PPD) that are found in "henna-based" products that still contain toxic chemicals. So you will not damage your hair using this product. But still test for sensitivity.
In summary - if you have a small amount of gray and are looking for a nice tint to your hair and wish to avoid the chemical and financial burden of the salon, Light Mountain is worth a try.
