I've just ordered it. Can't wait to see if it really works. I have resistant gray around my temples, about 30% gray overall. My natural hair colour is black. I don't want to use chemical hair dyes. Henna is not an option because I want a return to my natural black hair. When I emailed to ask about the difference between the Caucasian hair choice or the Afro-American hair choice, the reply was that they're the same product boxed differently.The only colours they do are brown and black. Here's the link, i'll let you know if it turns my white hair a good strong black. if it does, I'll be amazed. Also I wonder how long it will remain on my hair. It's meant to be pretty much permanent. I'll see.

I am curious on how this works for you.

My suggestion is to do a strand test just to see how it takes.

Thanks Autumn,

I'm disappointed so far.

I bought two packs as the instructions were that resistant gray needs a double application. Also its not clear if having previously dyed hair gives a darker result. so maybe my next application may result in black hair.

I tried Hairprint yesterday. My gray hair has gone from a very obvious white to a less obvious dull green. it took 3 hours including the hair conditioner afterwards; which was essential as my hair has gone from quite frizzy to a complete frizzball with all the hair stripping for a couple of weeks beforehand to make the hair accept the colour. the instructions require the hair to be completely free of any build-up.
And I checked the ingredients of hairprint. It contains hydrogen peroxide and the colouring agent, mucuna pruriens which is a health shop supplement I could almost have made it myself.
I bought two packs so I'll try again but it's only worth reporting back if by some miracle my gray hair has turned from dull green to black.

I'm not sure what you mean by you can't go back to your natural black hair color if you use henna. I have natural black hair as well with some greying around the temples and sides. I've used henna followed by indigo a couple times, it's worked okay. A few of my greys were a bit orange instead of black which indicates it didn't take up the indigo, I gotta work to figure out how to fix that. However after a few weeks, the color fades away so you're back to your natural color.

Hmm... Hairdressers are always saying henna messes up your hair. I used to use henna when my hair was all black and it worked great. Maybe I'll rethink it with indigo. Can I ask where you get your henna and indigo? There's Renaissance Henna online? Thanks x

There are so many haircolor on the market. Is there anyone who knows if haircolor will be harmful if we use it for long ter. I ask this because my newphew who is a beautiful teenager and he loves to play around his haircolor. I am worried that will be harmful to his scalp and health. He uses maybe about every one and an half months.

Maybe they tell you that because they can't do it themselves due to the time involved (wear henna for at least 4 hours, then you need to wear indigo for at least 1 hour). I got mine from mehandi.com.

It hasn't messed up my hair at all. My hair actually feels stronger after doing it. My only complaint is it fades too fast, perhaps I need to change the type of shampoo I use?

I've just read on the net that after henna/indigo the hair needs an acidic rinse to close the cuticles and retain the hair colour. Instead of using something natural like apple cider vinegar which smells very strong, there are after colour conditioners in Sally's etc which are designed to close the cuticle.
I'm wondering if hairdressers avoid henna because of the long hours it takes, and because hair doesn't take chemical dyes well after it's been henna'd.
Anyway, I'm off to Organic Colour Systems hairdresser to sort out my hair.
Judy Chen- I guess your nephew is young so his hair grows fast and strong. I'm old enough to be his grandmother and my hair is weak. Also Chinese and Indian hair is generally strong.

I contacted Hairprint to tell them the product didn't work for me despite following the instructions precisely. I hadn't been swimming in a chlorine pool etc. They were super, and returned my money even though I didn't ask for a refund. I guess their product is still in development.
