I bought a box for me and one for my mom. She's completely gray and dyes her hair all the time so it's very dry and brittle. My hair is long but one box did the trick. If I'm going to do an intense color, I might use two. No one really noticed the color, you could see red tones under my dark brown natural hair but everyone commented on how shiny and healthy looking my hair was. It washes out quick but at least my hair is still soft. Make sure you use an old towel everytime you dry your hair. I would also suggest buying a better pair of rubber gloves at a salon store because one of the fingers broke in my plastic glove. I didn't realize it until I pulled them off and my index finger was a dark maroon color! The majority came off soaking it in acetate. That's my only gripe. But I'm lifer. I never thought I would love dying my hair so much! I love this stuff. I bought a box for me and one for my mom. She’s completely gray and dyes her hair all the time so it’s very dry and brittle.

We absolutely think it is great. It leaves our hair soft and even fuller. It does cover the grey well. My mom now looks almost as young as I do. It is a winner for us.

I recently used Natur-Tint and liked how it made my hair feel although the color was dull and one-dimensional. I also noticed it was given an "8" on the cosmetics database so there goes the idea that this natural product was a better alternative. So I keep looking for better coloring options without all the "henna hassle". This seems like a good product to try. Thanks Lesley! Keep more natural hair color reviews coming!!! Love this review!

Let's say I decide to touch up any regrowth at home with this henna product, then go to the salon occasionally for a coloring and highlighting. Would using a henna product make it more difficult to color with regular dyes later? or ruin the color I'd get from regular color later?

If you search on any of these synthetic dyes, they are pretty scary. The product does a nice job of coloring your hair....but it certainly isn't a natural product. I tried calling the company, but they are down in Brazil and my portugese is pretty lousy! I saw this on Amazon.com:
