Review on πŸ”₯ Spicy Cinnamon Hair Color by LIGHT MOUNTAIN HAIR COLOR - 4 Ounce by Jennifer Rogers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Soft hair and evenly distributed color - Spicy Cinnamon

I colored my hair two months ago and I didn't like the uneven result and strawy hair. So I thought maybe I should try a natural product like henna. I had never used henna before, so I didn't know what to expect (green hair, orange hair, or no hair?). When I looked at the pack, the powder was very greenish, like green tea, and I was like, oh no! But I started and just used 1/4 pack of boiled distilled water to make a semi-thick paste that was enough for my medium length hair. It's a lot less to use and cheaper than the dyes I've used before. I only let the mixture sit for an hour before using it. I added ginger to the mix for a nice smell and a little white vinegar to activate. I used a plastic grill brush to apply the mixture to my hair, a plastic mixing bowl and a glass bowl, an old t-shirt, plastic gloves, and an old towel. I waited about three hours with a shower cap. I haven't used it even though it says so in the instructions. I washed the henna out of my hair by leaning over the plastic container in the tub (henna is thick and I didn't want it clogging the drain). I used conditioner on the second rinse to remove the henna. The air conditioning was very helpful. The color I got was the color I wanted (I have naturally 1/3 gray in mousy brown hair). The gray in my hair took the henna pretty well. The color was uniform, reddish golden brown. In general I'm satisfied because my hair is now more voluminous and softer. It didn't dry out my hair at all as my hair was dry to begin with so it actually conditions it. The condition of the scalp has also improved. I hope the color stays and doesn't change into something fun later on, but so far I really like this product. An allergy test I did previously showed no patches on my skin, but a strand test showed the color I would have gotten. The instructions with the product were very clear.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
