It worked amazing. My hair is super dark brown, almost black (see eyebrows). I had a good 5 inches or more of roots and the rest was a reddish brown from the old henna. I got this color with no bleach! It lightens while it dyes. Indoors/under poor light its a little bit of a dark/magenta red and in good light/outside its super bright. I love it. I have read it lasts a long time too so we will see how that goes!
