Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place. Helpful Accessories: Plastic or glass bowl; Plastic or wooden spoon; oil, Vaseline, or cream; Plastic or rubber gloves; Tint brush or 1-1/2 inch paint brush; Cotton or tissues; Plastic bag or plastic wrap; Protective cape or old towel. 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 hair dry. Apply cream, oil, or vaseline around the hairline, ears, and neck to avoid staining your skin. Pour 4 oz (1 cup) Rainbow Henna into a glass or plastic bowl. Gradually add 1 cup boiling water. Use a wooden or plastic spoon to mix thoroughly to a creamy consistency. (More liquid can be added if mixture is too thick.) For Rainbow Neutral Henna, mix 2 oz (1/2 cup) with 1 cup boiling water. Application: Wear plastic or rubber gloves to avoid staining your hands. 1. Section hair. Sections should be about 1 inch thick. 2. Begin at the scalp and paint on the Henna with a brush from roots to the ends. 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. 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 minutes; without heat 60-75 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, then rinse with cool water. Follow with Rainbow Henna Shampoo. Rinse thoroughly and style. Special Recipes and Hints: Coffee: To help tone down red tones, deepen brown-red tones, or cover grey, substitute coffee for water. Use brewed, black coffee (not instant or decaffeinated). After coffee is brewed, bring to a boil. Mix as directed. Teas: Ceylon or Black China Tea will add gold highlights to Light Brown Henna. Red Zinger Tea enriches red tones in Burgundy, Sherry, Mahogany, and Red Henna. Chamomile Tea brightens and adds highlights to Neutral, Blonde, or Marigold Blonde Henna. Let tea steep for 20-30 minutes. Bring to a boil. Substitute
