Rainbow chooses only the finest grade Henna from small shrubs (Lawsonia), that are native to the Middle East, West Asia, and North Africa. The Leaves are dried and pulverized to a fine powder.
Directions
Pour a 4 oz. jar of Rainbow Henna Sherry into a glass or plastic bowl. Gradually add boiling water. Use a wooden or plastic spoon to mix thoroughly to a creamy soup-like consistency, (more liquid can be added if mixture is too thick). For Rainbow Neutral Henna, mix 2 oz. (1/2 jar) with boiling water.
Rainbow Henna Sherry is filled by weight. A 4 oz. jar is equal to an 8 oz. cup by volume.
For dry Hair - Add 1 egg or 2-4 tbsp. of olive oil or 2-4 tbsp of plain yogurt to Henna mixture. These natural ingredients not only condition, but help with the application and rinsing processes.
Coffee - To help tone down red tones, substitute coffee for water. Use brewed, black coffee or espresso (not instant or decaffeinated). After coffee or espresso is brewed, bring to a boil.
Tea-To get more red tone in Sherry, substitute tea for water. Let tea(Red Zinger Tea) steep for 20-30 minutes, and then bring to a boil. Mix as directed.
Application
Wear plastic or rubber gloves to avoid staining your hands. Section hair front to back and ear to ear. Take 1 inch partings in the sections.
Method 1 - Begin at the scalp and paint on the Henna with a tint brush from roots to ends, or use method 2 - Begin at scalp and apply Henna with gloved hands. Pack it on as if you were putting a mud pack on your head.
Continue until all the hair is thickly coated with the Henna mixture.
Place a cotton or tissue band around the hairline. Cover the hair with a plastic bag or plastic wrap and old towel to help maintain heat.
For best results, use a dryer, heat lamp, or Thermo Heat Cap (see Other Fine Henna Products). Leave with heat 45- 60 minutes; without heat 60-90 minutes. When timing is completed, rinse thoroughly with hot water, and then rinse with cool water. Follow with Rainbow Henna Shampoo, or any mild shampoo without essential oils. Rinse thoroughly and style.
