Reviews

Brilliant

"Awesome product, great for your hair and very effective. Use it every 5 weeks. Used it for 2 years niw"

— Margaret H. (5/5)

Lovely colour

"I usually use the red shadow medium copper, but has been out of stock for mths! I was unsure how this colour would work in my dark auburn hair, but came up lovely! Yes it is a bit time consuming, but if u put on a shower cap & wrap a towel around u can certainly multitask!"

— Kristy (5/5)

Love!

"Absolutely love this. I was sceptical about how it would go over my bleached-blonde hair but it took beautifully and looks really natural. I will definitely be re-ordering when its back in stock,"

— Jo R. (5/5)

Henna - Red Shadow

"Love the henna, so easy, can do whenever I need, cheaper than salon & lasts longer!"

— Kristy (5/5)

Product did not work at

"Product did not work at all"

— Betty M. (1/5)

Love this colour….

"I find Desert Shadow - Caramel Shadow is just perfect for my medium brown, with some gray, hair. The colour is gorgeous, and the gray strands looks like highlights, because of the way it picks up the colour. I colour it about every 2 months, just the roots, to avoid the colour becoming too dark. The henna is nourishing too, and has improved the condition of my hair markedly. I’ve been using Desert Shadow since about 2022, when we were in the middle of lockdowns, and getting to a hairdresser was difficult, now I can manage my own colour, and the hairdresser the cut."

— Lisa S. (5/5)

Desert Shadow Honey Henna

"Gorgeous colour, lasted about 3 weeks, good grey coverage. I followed the instructions and left on my hair for 4 hours, maybe that was a mistake as I've been experiencing alot of hair fall since. Left my hair quite limp and irritated my scalp. Nervous to try this again."

— Joanna (2/5)

Perfect!

"I just followed the instructions and it was pretty easy, the little packet of spices was a cute step and smelled extra nice! So it worked much better on my dark brown hair than I thought it would! Also made it silky smooth afterwards!"

— Sym. P. (5/5)

I left it on for

"I left it on for 6 hours as have quite alot of grey coming through and it covered the grey nicely. Made my scalp feel nice and clean too. A bit of a effort but we'll worth it. Recommend and I will use again."

— Sue D. (4/5)
