We are really excited to offer you this organic henna powder. Henna is an all-natural plant-based dye, which stains the skin or hair a shade of red/brown.

Use Organic Henna Powder for Hair

The use of henna powder for hair is truly ancient, dating back to 1200 BC where it was used in Egypt as a dye for hair and nails. It is believed that Cleopatra used it as part of her beauty regimen.

For reddish-brown hair color, apply henna using the steps below. Color will vary depending on your natural hair color.

For a natural black hair dye, organic henna powder must be applied first and organic indigo powder applied within 72 hours of completing henna application.

Instructions for Natural Henna Hair Color

Apply Henna

  • Begin with clean, dry hair.
  • Gradually add warm or hot water, 1-2 tsp of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice or green tea to desired amount of organic henna powder to form a thick, smooth paste.
  • Cover and let this sit for 2-3 hours. The longer it sits, the darker the color. Add a little more water if it seems too thick.
  • Section hair; apply with gloves working from the roots to the ends.
  • Cover hair for 3-4 hours.
  • Rinse with cool water until water runs clear.

Apply Indigo

  • Gradually add warm or hot water to desired amount of indigo powder along with 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp cornstarch to make a thick, smooth paste.
  • Cover and let it sit for 20 minutes. Add a little more water if it seems too thick.
  • Section hair; apply with gloves working from the roots to the ends.
  • Cover hair several hours to overnight.
  • Rinse with cool water until water runs clear.
  • Don’t shampoo for 2-3 days as the color can take a couple of days to fully settle.
  • When used in combination with our organic indigo powder, using our henna powder for hair creates a natural black dye for complete coverage.
  • Natural black hair dye created with a combination of henna powder for hair followed by an application of our indigo powder.

Instructions for Temporary Tattoo

Step 1: Creating the paste

In a non-metal bowl, combine desired amount of organic henna powder with a little water at a time to form a thick smooth paste. For a darker color, add 1-2 tsp amla powder, black tea, apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice. Cover bowl and store at room temp for 4+ hrs. Color deepens with more time. Carefully apply paste to create the tattoo.

Step 2: Aftercare

Let the henna dry, being very careful not to touch it while it sets. Do not cover with clothing and avoid water while the paste is on your skin. Seal the henna with a mixture of lemon juice and sugar. Lightly dab with a cotton ball to make it just wet enough not to crack and flake. The goal is to leave it on your skin as long as possible. At least 4-6 hours is recommended. Seal with the lemon juice and sugar 2-3 times in the first hour. Heat will also help seal the stain. Use a hair dryer on low to heat the stain. To remove, use a credit card, butter knife or your hand. For larger designs, soften in the shower under water and use a card to scrape it from your skin. Rinse gently. Do not use soap. Do not scrub. Stain takes up to 3 days to oxidize and darken on skin.

Common Questions

How do I make the stain darker?

To make henna darker and achieve a deep, rich stain, follow these tips:

1. Choose High-Quality Henna
- Use 100% natural henna with no additives.
- Fresh henna powder (green in color) gives the best stain.

2. Prepare a Strong Henna Paste
- Add acidic liquid: Mix henna powder with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or tea to help release more dye.
- Use essential oils: Add terpine-rich oils like eucalyptus, lavender, or tea tree oil to deepen the stain.
- Let it rest: Allow the paste to sit for 8–24 hours for proper dye release.

3. Proper Application
- Clean skin: Wash and exfoliate the skin before applying henna.
- Apply thick layers: A thicker application results in a darker stain.
- Keep it on longer: Leave the henna on for at least 4–8 hours (or overnight if possible).

4. Heat and Moisture Help
- Seal the henna: Apply a lemon-sugar mixture on dried henna to keep it moist.
- Warm environment: Warm temperatures (not too hot) enhance stain development.
- Steam it: Hold your hand over steam (e.g., from boiling water) to help darken the stain.

5. Aftercare Matters
- No water for 24 hours: Avoid washing the area for a full day.
- Use natural oils: Apply coconut oil, shea butter, or olive oil to protect and deepen the stain.
- Avoid soap: Harsh soaps or exfoliants can fade the color quickly.

6. Stain Maturation
- The henna stain darkens over 48 hours, changing from orange to deep reddish-brown.
- Let the stain develop fully before assessing the final color.

By following these steps, you can achieve a darker, longer-lasting henna stain!

Customer photo review of Henna Powder (Mehndi), Certified Organic - 3.5 oz (100g)

Wow!! I’ve searched high and low for a good henna product for my sisterlocs. I am at that point t where I can no longer dye my hair to cover the greys due to sensitivities to the chemicals in dye. This mixed well and I did do a patch skin test before applying to my hair. No irritation noted after 24 hours, so I went ahead and applied. I left it on my hair for 2 1/2 hours though I’m completely satisfied with the outcome one. My hair feels great and this Henna worked!! Looking forward to purchasing more to keep up on the greys🤣🤗

I have never thought I had the skills to apply henna to my hair. Lo and behold I found Pure Indian.., quality henna powder according to my friends and it came with easy instructions. It was very easy and I’m happy I can cover my greys without harmful dyes.

Henna Powder (Mehndi), Certified Organic - 3.5 oz (100g)

I have never used henna to color my hair but now since i am allergic to dyes, i tried it and it turned out well. I specifically wanted to cover my grays and it did just that. My natural hair is black so the grays showed up as a reddish brown color and i love it. So easy to do and natural. my hair felt great after rinsing and moisturized. this is now my go to for covering my gray hairs.

Henna Powder (Mehndi), Certified Organic - 3.5 oz (100g)

It's hard to find organic henna. This is top notch, very fine powder, so it's easy to apply to hair and rinses out easily. Add fruit juice for a great stain and let sit for 12+ hours for dye release, more recipes at hennapage dot com

Daisy 5/5

GHEEK™ Henna Powder (Mehndi), Certified Organic - 3.5 oz (100g)

It worked great in my hair, my hair felt stronger after, so its definitely henna and though i only did it for the strengthening benefits, I know some may purchase for coloring. My few grey hair turned a nice orangish golden color, please note i left my henna to oxidize mistakenly for over 12 hours and then on my hair for about 5 hours, so not sure if that could affect the color, just in case its supposed to be deeper. Fast delivery too, thank you!

GHEEK™ Henna Powder (Mehndi), Certified Organic - 3.5 oz (100g)

Very fine henna, easy to use and rinse. This was combined with indigo for a dark brown hair dye. I bloomed this henna for a good 6 hours before mixing, and could tell the henna was rich in color. I, indeed, got a deep rich brown and couldn't be happier. I have shopped everywhere for a high quality henna, and here is where I found it!

Z F. 5/5

Henna (Mehndi) Powder, Certified Organic - 3.5 oz (100g)

Very dissapointed I have bought many products from Pure Indian Foods and I love their products. This one however I am very very disappointed with. Sheer wastage of money. I used it to henna my hair. However while I was even mixing it, no colors on the hands which I was surprised with. I didn't loose hope still and went ahead to apply on my head. Same result. Didn't have any color AT ALL. I would not recommend anyone to try this.

Ruchika 1/5

Organic Henna (Mehndi) Powder, 3.5 oz (100g)

Store owner replied: Henna requires time to oxidize in order for color to appear. In our instructions, we recommend letting the paste cure for several hours before application. Once applied, it needs to stay on the hair or skin for at minimum one hour before rinsing off. The color will continue to deepen over the next few days. It's not an instant coloring process like a box hair dye.

Organic Henna Powder I absolutely love this henna powder! Smooth and stringy. Perfect for detailed henna designs as well. I will definitely order again. Also the packaging was very nice and it arrived quickly.
