Radico - Hair color - Organic wine red - 100 g

Package arrived earlier than expected. It came nicely packaged with gloves, brush and hair cap. The preparation is easy, all you have to do is just mix it with water. The downside of this product is that there were quite a lot of lumps in it. Although I tried to get rid of them, some still ended up in my hair annoyingly. The smell of the product is quite strong just as the usual henna and will probably linger in your hair for a little while, but it is nothing to be afraid of. I am especially pleased with the colour. I got a little bit afraid because as I was washing it the water coming out of my hair was green. It also stained my bathtub, but it turned out that it just takes a scrub with some soap to clean it completely. My hair is medium brown and after leaving the product in it for two hours my hair really has a dark mahogany colour. Something that is impossible with just pure henna. I have some light (almost blond) hair in the front and they turned out as light brown, so maybe I would recommend if you are naturally blond/light brown, you should let it stay in your hair for longer, or apply multiple times. Overall I would recommend this brand because it is quite difficult to find a pure herbal hair dye in so many shades. I definitely want to try more of their products in the future!

I would give this zero stars if I could. I bought it to cover my gray hair, followed the instructions exactly, and left it on for 4 hours. When I washed it out, I was extremely disappointed to see my hair was still the same. Total waste of money. I have black Asian hair, and I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone looking to cover their grays.

I was nervous about trying this, but it was straightforward & I'm pleased with the results. I'll update this review if I change my mind after a few days (used for first time this morning). I have curly hair past my shoulders, and some greys. Simple to use & smells much better than that acrid smell from the L'oreals I've always used. I suppose it requires a little bit of hippy diy but not too taxing. Mix the powder with warm water (I used 50g powder), slather it over your hair as per usual, put on a shower cap (provided). I wrapped a towel over the shower cap & left it for 3 hours. This is lockdown, so time at home is plentiful! I don't have a hair dryer so didn't try that. Smells like wheatgrass, or hay. Doesn't stain your skin or bathroom. Didn't flake off (I suspect the towel around it helped). Remember to save the gloves, since you'll probably get 2 applications from this. Bonus: the gloves are a decent size, not the tiddly ones I usually have to try & squeeze my hands into. Only pesky part was washing it out - it took a while, and I ended up doing it twice. I used a bit of conditioner the second time. My greys seem fine (prob 95% covered, I don't get total coverage from 'normal' dyes either) & my hair is becoming softer & thicker as the day progresses, somehow. Apparently the colour develops over the next 4-5 days, but I'm already pleased with the colour.

I usually have, at best, very average things to say about hair dye so it's refreshing to write a positive review. This dye not only provides a really natural colour, whilst keeping colour for a good length of time, but the packet provides really good value for money too. I have thick, medium length, hair and the packet lasts me around four dyes. When mixed with water the dye does smell of soggy grass cuttings, but I see this as a sign of its natural qualities. This smell also does not linger on hair once the dye is rinsed off. Requires very basic measuring skills. If you struggle with this aspect, take it as a sign that you're numeracy skills suck and work on that.

The product seems good but the packect came open and despite been described as coming with a brush on the information pack it arrived without one. How I am suppose to use it on my hair without a brush? With my hands?

You have to wait for at least 3-5 hrs to get the color. That’s how the real henna works.

Best wine red colour henna I've bought. The colour also lasts longer than others I've tried and notice that when i was my hair, the water is less red than when ive used other products which is great! Do feel that there could be more powder in the pack as I have medium-thin just below shoulder lengrh hair and I need about 1.5 -2 packs to do my hair. Will still give 5 stars though as the product itself is great!

I found this brown colour didn’t cover my greys even though I left it on for over 2 hours as per instructions. I don’t know if I was to re-wet it as it did dry but as much I liked to use this as you can use how much you like & save the rest, plus it’s easy to apply (simply add water to make paste), it didn’t work on my very stubborn greys. It does say on the instructions to reapply after 24 hours but that’s just tedious. It is natural & doesn’t have that chemical feel you get from commercial dyes but sadly it didn’t work for me!
