A couple months ago I asked questions about henna and someone recommended LUSH hennas. I bought some (it comes as a thick slab) from the store in Harvard Square, and used it yesterday.
It was really easy to apply - much easier for me than chemical dyes. Just scraped a fistfull off the bar with a knife, added very warm water and mixed up so that it was thick and goopy (like yogurt).
I left it on for 4+ hours and washed it off...my hair has beautiful red undertones, and feels really silky. What gray hair I had was covered up very well. I don't think henna is good for drastic color changes, but for subtle highlights and shine LUSH henna is superb!
