Red Herbal Hair Color Strand Tests
One of our lovely customers was so kind as to allow us to use her photos of her NightBlooming red herbal hair color tests in exchange for some of her favorite herbal hair color. We’re excited to show these to you and hope it illuminates the possibilities with some of our beautiful hair colors.
You can see how these line up with our color charts, and although we always, always, A L W A Y S recommend strand testing on hair from your brush before committing to henna, should show you some of this in action! If you’re new to herbal hair colors, tons of information, including how to strand test is in my book Coloring Hair Naturally with Henna & Other Herbs.
Before we get to the pictures, here are each of the colors tested:
Rusalki Strawberry Blonde

Fire Genasi Copper

Kitsune FoxFire

Enyo War Goddess Ruby Red
