My original review works very well, but is very time consuming, and as you can tell...it's filled with newbie flaws. Gorej Nupur Mehendi Powder is the only henna I've ever used, and it has helped me grow my hair 4 inches (with regular trimming, as well as a really cute cut about a year ago), as well as overall increased thickness and hair health. The way I prep my henna is as follows: 1 package of henna, 1 can of coconut milk (make sure it's coconut milk that DOES NOT contain other additives such as any type of sugar or other fillers. The only ingredients should be coconut and water) and a tbsp or two of liquid coconut oil. I add the coconut oil after the henna and coconut milk have sat in a warm place for about 6 hours. I add the coconut oil to the mixture and mix it well and apply it to my hair. Usually my hair's dry, but I've applied it to wet hair also and the results are the same. I leave it in anywhere from 3 to 6 hours. It rinses SO MUCH easier than the fiasco I experienced in my review below, and once the water runs clear, I co-wash (use conditioner instead of shampoo) about 3 times, rinse and towel dry. Unlike my review below, I don't mix the henna with the indigo powder, as I've noticed that the color doesn't seem to last as long. So after I'm done with my henna application, I follow up with the indigo just on my roots to cover the gray (which after the henna application is bright orange), leave it on for 1 hour, rinse, co-wash, rinse and it comes out perfect. When it's all said and done, my hair is so soft and manageable and PRETTY! NOW FOR MY ORIGINAL REVIEW: This was my first time using Henna, and for the most part, I love it! I'm African American with relaxed hair, and I'm trying to improve the health of my hair. Seeing as I relax and usually use chemicals to color my hair (cover the gray), I decided that I can at least stop using chemicals for color (and stretch my relaxers). I love the way this Henna colored my hair, and the 9 herbs I believe is an added benefit! Here is the way I prepared and applied my Henna: Thursday evening, I steeped 5 bags of Earl Gray Tea in about 2 cups of water. I then boiled about a half cup of red wine and added it to the water. I put it in the fridge, and let it cool down to luke warm. I then emptied about 1/2 of the contents of the Henna into a plastic bowl and added enough of the tea/wine mixture to get it to a pudding consistency. I whisked it until it was smooth, covered it with plastic wrap (pushed down into the container to sit directly on the henna so there is no air/henna contact) and then placed the cover on the container. My boyfriend likes to keep the apartment somewhat cool, so I needed to create a warm environment to store my Henna. I went into the wash room which is not as cool as the rest of the apartment, buried my container in the clothes basket, and turned on the dryer for about 1/2 and hour to warm up the room. I then left the container to 'marinate' for about 24 hours. You don't have to leave it for that long, but I wouldn't be able to use it until I got home from work Friday evening. When I woke up Friday morning, I was anxious to see if I'd made my mixture correctly, so I checked on it and it was brown so I knew I was on the right track. I put a dab of henna on my palm (I read on many henna websites that this was recommended to check to see if the dye released correctly), re-covered the henna, and placed it back in the clothes basket. After about 5 minutes I rinsed it off and my my skin was nicely orange where the henna had sat. Yay! If I wanted to, I could have actually used it then. Unfortunately, I had to go to work, so I left it until I got home that evening. (and the whole time I was at work, I hoped that it wouldn't have been left for too long and it started losing the color! I'm a newbie at this so I wasn't sure what would happen...) When I got home, I ran to my waiting henna, unwrapped it, and it looked great, so that was a relief! I got the indigo, 100g Pure USAWHR Indigo Powder Indigoferra Tinctoria To dye Hair Black Naturaly NO PPD ,emptied about 1/3 of the packet in a separate plastic container, mixed that with enough water to create a pudding like consistency, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. My goal was to color my grays, which was mainly on my front edges. I had a few flecks of gray on my roots all over my head, but from ear to ear around the front half of my head was about 1/2 gray and half natural color. If I wore my hair back, I looked like I had a grayish halo. Yay me. Sooo.... After I let the indigo sit for about 10 minutes, I added about 1 tablespoon of the indigo to my henna mixture, and about 1 tablespoon of my henna mixture to my indigo. The goal was to add the indigo with a little bit of henna (darker mixture) to my edges and my roots (I didn't want an orange halo), and the henna with a little bit of indigo (lighter mixture) to the rest of my head, hoping that my edges would be about the same color of the rest of my head in the end. I then added about 1 tablespoon of paprika and 2 tablespoons of honey to the lighter henna mixture. I applied the indigo heavy mixture to my edges, and sectioned my hair and applied it to my roots. I then got the henna heavy mixture and applied it to the rest of my hair. It took a bit of extra time to do the separate applications, but I knew what I wanted and was willing to spend a bit of extra time to achieve it. I didn't actually time the application, but I figure somewhere around 40-45 minutes. It was my first time applying it, so I figure the next time might be a bit quicker. After I completed applying the mixtures, I wrapped my hair in saran wrap, covered it with a plastic shower cap, and also about an hour in, I covered the plastic cap with a hot wet towel. And planned to let it stew for about 4 hours. Mind you, because my boyfriend and I decided to stop and get a drink and a bit to eat, I got home about 8:00. By the time I finished applying the henna, it was about 9 PM. Ugh. About 2 1/2 hours in, I was so tired I decided to wash it out knowing that if I wasn't happy with the color, I could re-apply it in a couple days. I was content in just getting the benefits of a healthy henna treatment. I rinsed my hair and was very happy that the water ran clear in about 5 minutes. I then washed my hair 3 or 4 times and was a bit dismayed because my hair felt very hard. Very, very hard...which I expected, but was still not used to. I towel dried my hair, added a mixture of Kinky Curly Knot Today Conditioner, 8 oz , Honey, and Olive Oil, wrapped my hair in saran wrap, covered it in a silk wrap, and went to bed to let it deep condition. I woke this morning and rinsed my hair, and it was still hard. Annoyed. I washed it 2 times, added more conditioner and let it sit for about 10 minutes. I rinsed it out, and it felt a little bit better. A very little bit. It was very difficult combing out my hair, but remember reading somewhere that once you dry your hair, it will feel better. Actually, as I was combing out my very hard and knotted hair, I was contemplating if all of this was worth it. Combing tangles out of your hair is difficult enough...but when you have to do it when it's as hard as straw was just disappointing. In saying that, after I got the knots out and I blew my hair dry, it felt and looked better than I ever remember it feeling before. And, the color came out perfect!! I didn't have to leave it in for the 4 hours I'd planned. 2 1/2 hours worked just fine! My roots, edges and the rest of my hair is a nice dark brown/burgundy color. Exactly what I wanted! I'm giving this Henna the 5 stars it deserves because my hair feels soooo good, and it looks just a fabulous. Soft, shiny, with a nice dense rich color. I will use this again, as it did exactly what everyone said it should do. Right down to making my hair feel hard like straw until it dries. And from what I've read, it might feel that way for the next couple of days (if I decide to wash it, it might have the same straw feeling until it dries). My mission now is to do more research on how I can get the knots out a bit better and easier. Anyway, I highly recommend this Henna. And if anyone can suggest how my hair can be a bit more tame when I rinse and wash it right after my application, please leave a comment! Thanks!! Review: Nice color, faster than regular henna - I used this for the first time a month ago, I am Caucasian and my hair is fine, wavy and dry on the ends. Medium to dark brown and previously over-highlighted. I had dyed it back to my natural color with chemical dye a year ago and have been using semipermanent dye since to cover my 5% grey. The semipermanent was less damaging but would fade from the greys in about 2 weeks. I wanted something with more pizazz and up until the last 3 years had always dyed my hair a reddish brown. I stopped when we moved to a home with a well, the hard well water would fade the beautiful red shade within a week - a waste of money. I was looking for a natural way to cover the gray and did a lot of research on henna, as i used to use it when I was in my 20's. I remember it being a real messy hassle (it still is), but loved the results. First time Henna use recently was in February 2013, purchased the Jamila henna (hair quality, not BAQ), and was pleasantly surprised, loved the color - it turned out a coppery color and greys looked like bright copper highlights. Out of 3 boxes I used, however, 1 was very old and I think did not dye well. (see my review on Jamila henna for more details). When my grays started to show again, I tried the Nupur due to the low price and great reviews. I also like the idea of the extra herbs. Mixed it with water, got dye release in 3 hours, added coconut oil, then applied over the whole head and left it on for 4 hours. At first I was shocked at the vibrant color, so much darker than the Jamila and my scalp was psychedelic! After a few days my scalp faded and the color mellowed to a gorgeous deep cool auburn (greys still bright copper highlights)- just the color I was looking for. I get compliments on my hair all the time and it looks very natural. Best part is that the color has not faded from the grey AT ALL and my hard well water has not changed the color either! Of course I use sulfate free shampoo so I think that helps a lot. It is time to do my hair again, this time I will do the roots only (so as not to deepen the color)and make a few changes in my "formula". I plan to use chai tea instead of plain water initially then mix with Vatika coconut oil after dye release and will leave on only 2 hours. I have shoulder-length hair and used 1 packet for my whole head, will use 1/2 packet to do my roots. Even though this is a messy treatment which requires a serious time commitment, it is well worth it as it is economical and really good for your hair. I like this product better than regular henna because the dye release is so quick and I don't have to leave it on as long. Not sure about all the extra herbs and if they do what they promise, but I do like the product. All henna treatments will make your hair feel dry afterwards, so be sure to invest in a deep conditioning treatment and use it right after you henna, your hair will be soft, shiny and luxurious and you will love it! I sure do and put it on my monthly Subscribe & Save. **UPDATE** 5/2/13 I did my roots about 2 weeks ago, as mentioned above used the chai tea and 1/2 bag of Nupur for my just below shoulder length hair. Mixed with coconut oil after dye release. Could have done with 1/4 bag but saved the excess (froze it in a ziploc) to do my roots next month. Was in a hurry and left it on for only 1 hour which did the trick but turned out lighter than last time. Next time will leave on for 2 hours. Color still gorgeous and hair very healthy. Just doing roots I should be able to get by on 3 bags per year - at a cost of $3.43 per bag, this is just a little over $10 per year to color my hair!

The henna in mehendi powder is sort of a watered down version because other ingredients are added. I mainly use the mehendi powder to maintain my color between henna dyes. **Q: Can you use a semi permanent hair rinse over this brand of henna?** A: I'm not a cosmetologist but henna is a very pure natural thing to dye your hair with so I don't think that they'll be any bad reactions as if it were a box dye. But what I can tell you is that henna coats the shaft of your hair so using a semi-permanent will most likely be way less effective as the dye can't penetrate the hair and will most likely wash out very easily **Q: 3mth old Nutritint 4m on naturally black hair. Want mahogany/burgundy. If use recipe where + 1 can coconut milk, how much indigo needed? how to use?** A: Mahogany and burgundy are two different colors. I henna without indigo and I'd say my hair is a rich burgundy the sun. How about trying it without the indigo first so you have a starting point and if you don't have the desired color, try a mix with more indigo than henna **Q: Is 140 gram one package or two packages?** A: 1 pack of 140gm...thanks ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful! *by N***Z on May 19, 2012* UPDATE 2/22/15: I really feel bad for taking 3 years to update this review, but I've totally changed the way I've used this henna in terms of the preparation.

First henna experience *by A***L on August 5, 2011* So gals n guys here is my experience...I am so excited!!!.After doing a month of research on henna from wherever possible, I was still just not into it,so many questions brewing in my mind everyday seemed like solving the never ending mysteries of hennaland. Then finally I decided to give it a go. I am an Asian with straight fine black hair which give a brownish tint in the sun, I am having many white hair showing up though I am in my mid twenties (never ever used any chemicals/perms/hot treatments on my hair)which looked ugly. My hair are very long, upto my tailbone so I was wondering how much henna to use. This is the stuff which I collected first to prepare for my battle :) -Nupur mehandi 150 mg/one pack -Hair accessories kit (very very useful and cost-effective, available on amazon, I was so excited that I gave my first review of life for that too).The kit had a cap-soft and very fit for average sized head and had ties, a paint brush, a plastic spatula/mixer, a dark cape-really really helped, pair of disposable gloves. -Coconut oil -Lavender oil (100% pure, got from Amazon) -Yoghurt -warm-hot water -Plastic container/bowl -Small plastic sheet (I used the bubble wrap and plastic sheet which is found inside the Amazon shipments sometimes :) -Vaseline (100% pure petroleum jelly), if applied on forehead, ears and neck-front and back, henna will not stain any part -Conditioner (I used Pantene conditioning shampoo though, the one which claims to protect dye color) Here are the steps which I followed, First I rapidly flipped through the you tube videos again (is this a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder) just to make sure that I am not missing any relevant detail. Then I emptied approximately half the pack of nupur mehandi in the plastic container and slowly poured some water into it. You need to adding water slowly in small quantities and mixing it with henna, do not overdo with water since we just require it to be like a thick paste. I also added 10-15 drops of lavender oil, 3 big scoops of youghurt, 15-20 drops of coconut oil and mixed everything well. The mixture was neither thick nor runny. You can check the consistency by taking it a plastic spoon and then tilting the spoon. It should very very slowly trickle down like thick yoghurt. After thoroughly mixing, I kept a small piece of white paper on the dough/mixture, so that in the morning I could check its colour and guess what it would look like on my hair. I didn't want to do a strand test. Then I covered the container with plastic sheet and bubble wrap securely and kept it in a cardboard box (just to keep henna little warm). I was so excited to start applying it that was not able to sleep well, but had to wait for around 8 hours. In the morning I removed the sheet and bubble wrap and looked at the paper-it was kind of orangish-actually don't know how it helped :). Throughout this process, I stood in front of the huge mirror (which is obvious anyways)I wrapped the cape snugly around my shoulders (if you have this accessories kit, you need not worry about looking for old shirts and towels), applied Vaseline on my forehead, ears, cheeks, neck), added very little water to the henna mixture since it looked little more thicker and mixed it again, wore gloves and started applying henna on my hair with the brush. I read that we need to take small strands of hair and apply henna separately, but then I realized that it is not practically being possible for my extra-long hair. So I just started from the middle, applying henna to the hair roots first, right side then left side and then back and top of my head. The hair started becoming thicker with henna and my heart was pumping fast-I was actually applying henna finally! Rest of the mixture I applied directly with gloves since I had to cover the whole length of hair-brush was helpful for the roots only. I smeared all the remaining henna on full length and rubbed some on my whole head again with gloved fingers. The I twisted all my hair together in sort of a bun and was just going to apply a clip when I realized that the mass of my matted medusa hair was not moving an inch anyways, it was just lying on the top of my head like a globule so I kept the clip aside and wore the cap (Underneath this pretty blue cap, I also wore one of my old shower caps). Now I was little worried because the whole process was NOT MESSY AT ALL, and that was the last thing I expected. The henna didn't dripped anywhere, only the gloves were soiled. I washed my face and carried out with my routine work for 4 hours. Then with trembling hands (I was anxious how will my hair turn out) I removed the caps, the henna was almost dry, I hopped in the shower and started rinsing thoroughly. I had already diluted a very generous amount of shampoo and warm-hot water. Then I conditioned my hair for around 15 minutes and rinsed. RINSE RINSE RINSE. This is very important,do not use hot water for rinsing hair, warm water is best. Then I hopped out of the shower, towel dried my hair and saw one or two little knotty masses of hair which I entangled with little coconut oil. I gently combed through the length of my hair and it went so smoothly.The comb was just slipping through my hair, they were so soft! After they dried a bit I looked at the sparse white hair which I had, they have turned orangish-goldenish, my hair are not frizzy as they used to be after being washed and dried. They are super-clean, deep conditioned, silky and smooth. I cannot wait to see the final henna color, the color to which it will settle finally will show up in 2-3 days (though I know it would be black with chestnut reddish sheen in sun with very few coppery-auburn highlights). So this is my henna experience- I hope it would help some of the newbies like me. All the previous nupur reviews were really useful for me! I will update in case of any surprising or better results than expected :)IT WAS FUN! ## Frequently Bought Together - Godrej Nupur Heena, 150g - Zenia Indigo Powder (Indigofera Tinctoria) | Hair/Beard Dye Color 3.5oz (100g) | 100% Pure & Natural | No Preservatives - Godrej Nupur Henna Mehndi, 14.1 Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/15249667-godrej-nupur-heena-150g](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/15249667-godrej-nupur-heena-150g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
