Frequently Asked Questions

	What color should I get? (our number one question) Your natural hair color will determine what color you will achieve. Our colors only go darker. If you have black and you use red, you will have black hair with red tint(best seen in the sun) dark brown hair and then red henna will make it a "deep" red. Nautral red hair will become vibrant red. The lighter the brighter. Back to top
