Description

Commercial hair dyes contain thousands of different chemicals, some of which are reported to be carcinogenic — but you don’t have to choose between gorgeous color and good health. Natural hair care expert Christine Shahin shows you how to use nontoxic plant pigments — henna, indigo, amla, and cassia — to color your hair naturally, whatever your hair type or ethnicity, with beautiful results! These pigments are readily available at natural food stores and online, and they’re simple, safe, easy to use, and cost-effective. With clearly written instructions and step-by-step photography, Shahin shows you exactly how to apply these pigments, alone or in combinations, to achieve a full range of shades of brown, black, and red. She also includes instructions for transitioning from chemical dyes to natural ones and for using chemical and natural dyes together. Read more

    • What a pleasant surprise
I cannot speak as others have as to how much similar information can be found online concerning the use of henna for your hair. But I can add that i found the information in the book somewhat of a pleasant surprise. The author describes the uses for alma, henna, indigo and cassia. Shows pictures of the powder form and the mixed forms also. There is a table, covering several pages in which she describes the recipient's base color before one or more of these items were used to dye the recipient's hair. However, I find those pictures to be too small to be of use for my eyes. The full pages, one per person, showing the recipients' 'after' photo proved to be more helpful. Other than the pictures used on the table I had no real problem with the book. But I would like to add that although the author did indicate, several times, that results could be beautify I truly was surprised at how my hair had turned out. I had been using henna for a couple of years now and to be frank I wasn't exactly loving the results. I didn't hate them either but it wasn't something I was going to rush to recommend either. My hair, with henna use after a couple of years was already turning a reddish brown. However, with the addition of indigo it truly turned into a pretty shade of brown. It's hard to describe. No one truly thinks of the color brown as anything but drab. But the color was attractive and former greys turned out as interesting 'highlights.' Okay more about what is actually contained within the pages of the book. The author used 'real people' as the models. She does provide recipes in the table about how much of each product to use to obtain a certain amount of red, copper, etc. on your base color. She also offers suggestions on how you can experiment with your hair. Overall I would recommend this book to most people unless you have been using these products for years and have been getting consist results you were looking for. ... show more

    • missing pages in kindle edition.
The book itself is very informative; however, I wasn't much interested in all the history but that's me. So much information on the Henna process I can't absorb it all at once and this book will be a very useful reference. My original review was all about missing pages in my Kindle edition. For some reason this book did not completely download on my Samsung tablet and I was missing many pages. However, the complete book did download on my laptop so I have the complete book. I've never before had the problem of incomplete downloads on Kindle. So whatever. ... show more

    • BEST INFORMATION ON HOW TO COLOR YOUR OWN HAIR WITH NATURAL PLANT PIGMENTS
I have been using henna since I was in high school in the 80's. My strawberry blonde hair had faded to dark blonde and I wanted to keep being a red head. Unfortunately, I put henna products that had other chemicals added onto my hair for years until one day, I stumbled upon Hennaforhair.com, which explained you need to be extremely careful not to use henna that has bad stuff added into it. I purchase my henna from Hennaforhair.com because they look at all of their plant pigments under the microscope and do tests to insure they are pure. Though I love Hennaforhair.com, the information (specific recipes) to achieve different colors with different base colored hair is not easily accessible; Their websites need editing and need to have specific recipes to help those who are mixing their own. (Their site does have kits, but they are expensive and I want to mix my own.) I wanted to change my color using cassia and amla, so I tried reading Hennaforhair's info but I could not find recipes, ie: how much amla do I mix with how much henna and how much cassia to achieve a toned down copper red given my base is dark blonde? This is when I found Christine Shahin's book on Amazon. Now that I have it, I am so grateful because Chirstine Shahin makes almost everything clear/simple because her book is well written AND has beautiful picture examples. The only thing I question is that she says to use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar when mixing henna and cassia. I never use full strength lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, please water it down, or it may be too harsh for your hair. Mild lemonade is what I go for, not pure lemon juice. Hennaforhair.com goes into different kinds of fruit juices and acids you can use in great detail on their site. Different fruit juices/acids create different color effects, so if you are interested in this, use info on Hennaforhair.com. Chriestine Shahin also tells you what the base color (natural color) of each of the picture examples (real people) started with, which is very important info when formulating your specific mix for your hair. Christine's book is both beautiful (great picture examples) and full of what you need to know to successfully use plant pigments to color your own hair. Hennaforhair.com is a great source for purchasing safe, pure plant pigments, and it has tons of information if you have the time... Christine Shahin's book saves time, just think twice before using 100% lemon juice or 100% apple cider vinegar. I now mix my henna only with amla and water so I don't even need to use any other acid because amla is naturally acidic. ... show more

    • me encanta
Este libro realmente es muy bueno ya que si usted nunca ha usado henna este es su libro responderá todas sus preguntas. Yo hice muchas búsquedas en Internet y vi muchos vídeos en YouTube sombre sus experiencias y ningunas me convencían porque todas eran muy contradictoria y la henna yo tenía bien claro que no se quitaría de mi cabello una ver yo pusiera la henna en mi cabello no quería mi cabello rojo quería un cabello marrón tirando más amarillo que arrojo, como todos no tenemos la misma base de cabello, esto al que tomarlo en cuenta, también no quería utilizar henna que ya venían preparada por que no son 100% naturales yo quería comprar la henna, y las demás llevas naturales que dieran la tonalidad que yo quería y es increíble las tonalidades que puedes hacer con la henna y otras yerbas o hojas 100% naturales y con este libro pude lograr poner el color que quería gracias a este libro, si quiere un color 100% natural con la henna 100% natural y otras yerbas como el INDIGO y AMLA y muchas otras más que menciona el libro es excelente. El libro está en ingles yo no domino bien el inglés lo que hice fue tomarla fotos y traducirlo en el traductor de google para mayor claridad y fue excelente mucha suerte yo estoy feliz con mi decisión ... show more
