Strawberry Blonde Henna Hair Dye

I wanted to bring back some of my original strawberry blond color into my beard and head that has turned mostly blond/white in recent years. I set aside a half-day and used as directed. (Yes, you need to allow a half day to do it all so if you are impatient and can’t deal with a little bit of a mess, don’t whine about the product, just don’t use it.) I left the thick paste on my beard and head, keeping it well damp, for 3 hours. After rinsing, my beard had a definite strawberry red tint that is wholly acceptable. My head hair came out a brighter copper/orange color that looks a bit “circus clownish” and is in no way close to “strawberry blond”, but it will fade with time. Next time I know to only leave it on for a short while and see how it goes. Perhaps add some additional colorless cassia powder to it to tone down the powerful henna red? In any case, it’s all an experiment. I just ordered two more packets of strawberry blond and some colorless cassia and will try mixing those to tone down the henna red. For you fair blonds or folks with white (not gray) hair, just know that the effect of the coloring agent (henna) could be strong so maybe don’t go for the full 2-3 hour suggested application unless you want a bright (or possibly unwanted) color. Product was very gentle on my skin with no irritation and made my hair softer and shiny.

Purchased product and was horrified with the results. Hair turned bright orange for strawberry blonde coloring. Following instructions to the tee! Bad product do not buy.

I had to shave my beard and couldn't get rid of it fast enough. It was both hilarious and sad. The dye is effective, but I'm subtracting two stars because the color did not match the description. It was WAY off. I am a real strawberry blonde and if I had used this dye on my hair I'd have had to shave my head too. My beard is going white in spots, so I was excited to find my color ... until I saw that it was nothing like strawberry blonde. If it was Halloween and I was going as a traffic cone or if I was lost in the wilderness and needed signal orange hair, this would have been perfect. For reference, I have the more blonde/reddish hair that gets blonder with sun exposure ... of Scandinavian decent, as opposed to the dark red/auburn color more common to freckled redheads of Irish decent. To match strawberry blonde, think "Heather Graham." Instead, this color of dye gave me a very bright "emergency signal orange" beard. If you are tempted to try it, I'd run the patch test someplace with hair that you don't mind shaving so you can also test the color instead of just testing for allergies or irritation. I liked the product (other than that it looks and smells like fresh bovine diarrhea, but hey, it's organic so I was OK with that) and would try another color if I thought I could find my hair color.

I got this to help color my beard. I'm greying young and it's really noticeable in my facial hair. I tried this to see if it is any better than Just for Men. It works, but getting the timing right is a little tricky. I had the mixture on for an hour and my beard was orange! I used beard wash and conditioner a few times and it softened the color to a shade that didn't look weird. I did it over a long weekend and by Monday my beard looked very natural and blended nicely with my natural reds in my hair. It lasted about a month before the new beard's growth showed under it. You get plenty in the bag for multiple uses. The next time I will just leave it on for about 45 minutes and see how that looks.

Works well on strawberry blond beard! I have strawberry blonde hair and a pretty full, if somewhat short, beard. My hair color is on the blonder side of strawberry blonde and I wanted to pump up the color in my beard, which is kind of patchy, color-wise, very pale in places, more red in others. This product did the trick perfectly. I left the mud on my beard for 2 hours and when I rinsed it off, my beard was just enough deeper in color to look exactly as I wanted. The color of my beard is still uneven but a little deeper in color. and it pops now in a way it wasn't previously. Best of all, it does not look dyed.

I left this on even longer than it states on the package and it barely colors my beard. I was a natural redhead before I turned gray so I wanted to color my beard red. Just for men doesn't make red available so I thought I would try this. You have to leave it on for a very long time and the color doesn't take very well. The smell is very tolerable but it just doesn't work. I just gave up and used Loreal women's hair dye and put up with the stink of ammonia.

This product does not work at all. Does not work on head hair or beard. Stop selling this. I kept product on for 4 hours. Followed easy instructions. Rinsed out not one hair strand was dyed. The sellers should read the reviews they are mostly negative. Your reputation is at risk selling this hair dye.

I am in love with this product. I use it for my naturally bleach blonde eyebrows under a tall forehead and now everything looks much more balanced. Not to mention, THE COLOR is exactly the same as my strawberry blonde hair. It’s everything I hoped it would be & im especially glad that it’s all natural and cruelty-free. That’s the cherry on top. A small price to pay for getting a plant-based product is it requires a couple hours in the hair but that just means apply it right before doing homework or cooking, etc. Wonderful product, and no complaints at all.
