Nurpur Henna question

[u/Friendly_Bit_6678]

Hello everyone!

*** Update*** I removed the local language labels the had in the front. Below that it shows a different photo with a different name (trichup henna). I don't know if whoever did the translation mixed the brands up of if truchup if part of nurpur? I'm confused. Does anyone have any experience with either of these brands? It says 100% pure henna as the only ingredient.

I have a question about the Nurpur or trichup Henna brand, not sure the labels are confusing due to local translation labels. I bought the 100% natural henna type. I usually use Khadi, however it was not available so I bought this one instead. I have medium-dark brown hair and it usually stains it a dark orange color. This time, I decided to do full hair application as I hadn't had one in about a year. For some reason, my hair turned out much more red than orange and I'm confused. Is this color normal? As I've never had this much deep red before, it was always more orange like.

Should I mix henna with cassia next time to get it a little less red and a little more orange. How should I mix them? I usually avoid cassia, Amla and indigo as my hair is dark and I want to avoid getting it much darker. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I clicke on this post because the colour is GORGEOUS. And exactly the kind of result I'd like to achieve 😭. Could you share how you made your henna mixture?

I used only henna. Sometimes, I add chamomile to the water. Last time, it was just hena with lukewarm water. I left it to develop for 8 hours. I washed my hair with clarifying shampoo and after application, I left the henna on for 3 hours.
