Surya Brasil - Henna Cream, Hair Color Treatment, Semi Permanent Hair Color for Gray Hair Coverage, Natural Henna Hair Color, Deep Conditioning Hair Dye, Dark Brown, 2.37 oz / 70 ml

It didn’t cover anything, I had to use two boxes of color. Luckily it didn’t make my hair too dry but I won’t be using these again. This product you have to put on wet hair which is dumb and it doesn’t cover anything . I won’t be purchasing anymore.

I pretty much love the results of Surya Henna. I have used various brands in the past, and have done a healthy amount of research on henna, botanical hair coloring, safety, etc...I bleach my hair in the summer, when I get bored I henna. My natural color is nearly black (but truly just dark brown), so I started with about a years worth of highlights with dark roots. I purchased Natural Mountain Henna in Burgundy and layered henna on damp hair, since my hair was damp I don't think I got much in the way of concentration, but it did deepen my highlights to a dark blonde, with heavy ash (green tones)...clearly the indigo which did become muted once the henna oxidized. I knew that I wanted to go darker, but didn't want to repeat with the same brand so I stepped out on a limb and tried Surya. Great results!! I feel like I have a great fall color and am even considering using the RED, after reading another review. I waited about a week before I felt like I wanted to commit...and then ordered Surya.The color swatches on the side of the box match the results (exactly) on my hair....1) This is not pure henna, it does have some chemicals and FDA colors, on EWG when I checked this rated at a 4 for toxicity on a scale of 1 to 10 - Keeping in mind that food coloring, etc.. that we eat would likely rate higher (though I wouldn't eat this)2) This is semi-permanent, which tells me that it will fade and I am okay with that because the stuff is luxurious out of the box.3) It is packed with really great ingredients that make you feel good about using it and my hair after using it felt very soft and was wicked shiny.Overall the color is really fabulous - if they could find a way to remove all chemicals that in my mind would be significantly better and hence I deducted a star. I am definitely going to order this again.Update: As most have said the color did fade within a month or so, but certainly not back to the bleached blond hair I had.I've added a photo which shows about two days oxidation. I intentionally left the front section blond with neutral henna only coating that section.I'm likely going to try some other brands because of a few of the chemicals.

2nd update: because i was doing streaks i was thrilled that the maker suggested unscrewing the bottle cap rather than snipping it with scissors. so, my first round of streaks was in late may (i'm writing this 7nov17) and the color was amazing (see my initial notes below). by august a friend called those grown-out and faded streaks "pink" when we were standing outside on a cloudy day, which didn't please me much. so, in september i re-did the streaks, trying to go over the top of my initial streaks. this was using the same bottle that i'd opened in may and resealed. THIS TIME the color on my hair is an odd brown with maybe a hint of that wonderful purple-y burgandy that i love but really just brown or maybe dark auburn. not what i want! my conclusion is that my saved henna cream has changed in the bottle that i opened months ago. i'm going to order a new bottle and will come back here to post results!UPDATE: just in case your hair is like mine, semi-permanent might be permanent! i've had semi-p do this previously so i wasn't shocked. unfortunately when this is super faded (almost 4 months later) it's not very attractive. my choice is keep it fresh or let it grow out. a heads up!---i used this for streaks not all over so can't address whether it conditions or not but it didn't seem to diminish the softness or shine of my hair at all. covers grey brilliantly and seems at least approximately the same burgundy shade on my medium brown hair as on the grey.this has faded a little in something like 6 - 8 washes but that's as advertised.the color when fresh is exactly what i wanted...that burgundy that's a little purple and a little bright without being garish. the faded color is nice too. semi-permanent hair color behaves as permanent on my hair and this is doing the same though it's perhaps fading just a little faster...semi-permanent just dulls a little on my hair without ever going away.

The media could not be loaded.  It's gentle, lasts a long time and makes your hair soft

I’m bald but my wife has been using it and she looks great afterward

These semi-perm colors are so easy to apply. Just protect your skin with some vaseline (edge of face) and rub in the dye with glives. I use the plastic hood from the box, then double up with a shower cap and sleep with the dye in my hair overnight (cover pillowcase w a brown toned hand towel.) Wash off in the morning (no conditioner for the 1st wash...fine thereafter). Dye fades evenly so there isn't that artificial line of demarcation between roots and rest of my hair, over time. It's not permanent dye so needs to be applied more frequently. Burgundy suits me better (gray at top of head to dark brown Asian hair farther down) than Mahoganey. Mahogany looks yellow on my hair, and makes it look like a bad blond job.

Le meilleur henné que j'ai utilisé

Ich bin so was von begeistert,habe diese Haarfarbe nun schon zum vierten Mal probiert und ich kann nur allen Frauen raten,diese Farbe zu kaufen,wenn sie auf alle chemischen Haarfärbe-Mittel allergisch reagieren.Habe mir seit mehr als 30 Jahren mit den chemischen Mitteln die Haare gefärbt,doch plötzlich bekam ich schlimmen,extrem juckenden Ausschlag auf Kopfhaut,Gesicht und Nacken und musste mit schlimmsten allergischen Reaktionen zum Arzt.Habe dann trotzdem verschiedene Marken ausprobiert,jedes Mal mit noch schlimmerem Ausschlag.Darum hatte ich es vor ca 3 Jahren ganz aufgegeben die Haare zu färben.Aber sie wurden immer mehr stumpf und glanzlos und an den Seiten grau.Damit gefiel ich mir auch nicht.Also suchte ich eine "natürliche" Alternative zu den chemischen "Haarkeulen" und probierte verschiedene Naturhaarfarben aus.Es war fürchterlich,sie sahen aus wie frischer Kuhdung und manche rochen auch so und mussten noch dazu bis drei Stunden auf den Haaren bleiben.Grauabdeckung war aber trotzdem nur minimal und nach 5 Haarwäschen war die "Farbe" schon wieder Vergangenheit.Dann recherchierte ich im Netz und stieß auf Surya.Zuerst dachte ich naja,wird wohl auch nicht viel sein,aber ich bestellte sie und ich bin absolut begeistert und total happy,diese Farbe entdeckt zu haben.Die grauen Haare werden perfekt gefärbt,ohne auszusehen wie ein Pumuckl.Die Farben an sich sind einfach toll.Habe bisher schwarz und burgund ausprobiert und ich bin wirklich absolut zufrieden.Sie halten mindestens 4 Wochen und sind ihr Geld wert.Endlich wieder eine tolle Haarfarbe ohne Allergie!Zur Handhabung:Kommt fertig gemischt in der Flasche,lässt sich gut auftragen und läuft nicht.Habe eine mittlere Haarlänge und habe bei der zweitletzten Färbung einfach nur mal die Hälfte der Flasche verwendet und der Rest hielt sich bis zur weiteren Färbung.Also bei kurzem bis mittellangem Haar reicht eine Packung für zweimal färben,was dann nicht nur das Haar, sondern auch den Preis noch attraktiver macht :-)

The first time I used this brand, it was the easiest hair dye I've ever used. The color is also very nice.

Amazing product. Doesn’t damage your hair.

I like the idea of being able to use a non chemical product to colour my greys, unfortunately it does not actually do this. However, I do like the red highlights that it creates in my naturally dark brown hair. It also leaves it in lovely silky condition. So I use a chemical permanent hair dye(which does cover grey 100%) to colour the regrowth area on my scalp line and the sideburn area, and then at the next session use the henna. The result is it all seems to blend in nicely together and 'youth is temporarily restored' without being too damaging to my hair.
