Preparation: Rainbow Henna may be applied on wet or dry hair,
but it is important that the hair be clean. If you wish to shampoo first, towel
dry hair. Apply cream, oil, or Vaseline around the hairline, ears, and neck
to avoid staining your skin.
Directions: Pour a 4 oz. jar of Rainbow Henna 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 is filled by weight. A 4 oz. jar is equal to an 8 oz. cup by
volume.
Application:Wear plastic or rubber gloves to avoid staining
your hands.
1. Section hair front to back and ear to ear. Take 1 inch partings in the sections.
2. 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. Packing it on as if you were putting a mud pack on your head.
3. Continue until all the hair is thickly coated with the Henna mixture.
4. 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.
Timing: For best results, use a dryer, heat lamp, or Thermo
Heat Cap (see Other Fine Henna Products). Leave on as follows:
• Black, Red, Sherry, Mahogany, Burgundy, Dark Brown, Medium Brown, and
Copper with heat 45- 60 minutes; without heat 60-90 minutes.
• Strawberry Blonde, Blonde, Marigold Blonde, Light Brown, and Neutral
with heat 30 minutes; without heat 45-60 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.
FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Store in a cool, dry place. Filled by weight. Do not use in the area of the eye or if scalp has open cuts. Not for use on bleached or white hair. A strand test should be done if hair is over 10% grey.
