Surya Brasil Henna Cream Semi-Permanent Hair Color — Black, 2.37 oz | Gray Coverage & Conditioning

Surya Brasil Henna Cream in Black is a ready-to-use, semi-permanent hair color that covers gray while conditioning hair with predominantly natural ingredients.

Built from a high percentage of plant-derived components and a blend of Ayurvedic and Amazonian extracts, this henna cream deposits rich black pigment without harsh oxidizers. The formula avoids ammonia, PPD, peroxide, parabens and sulfates, and is designed to color and soften hair in one application. It’s a no-mix cream that aims to refresh color, add shine and manageability, and gradually fades over multiple washes.

How does this henna cream cover gray hair without harsh chemicals?

The product uses a non-oxidative, pigment-depositing method that adheres color to the hair shaft rather than lifting existing pigment. Because it does not rely on peroxide or ammonia, it minimizes cuticle damage during application. This makes it suitable for users seeking color coverage with lower irritation risk.

• Non-oxidative formula deposits color without lifting natural pigment
• Contains henna and amla to enhance color adherence and conditioning
• Free from PPD, peroxide, and ammonia—gentler on scalp and hair

Will this product work on chemically treated or highlighted hair?

The henna cream can be used on previously colored, relaxed, or highlighted hair, but results depend on the hair’s starting shade and porosity. Lighter or porous hair may take pigment more intensely, so processing time can be adjusted for the desired tone. Always strand-test first to preview color outcome.

• Safe for use on treated or highlighted hair with a strand test recommended
• Adjust application time based on texture and porosity for even results
• May be used to tone or add richness to natural or bleached hair

What conditioning benefits does the formula provide during coloring?

The cream blends botanical oils and plant extracts to impart moisture, smoothness, and improved shine while coloring. Ingredients such as aloe vera and Brazil nut oil help reduce frizz and leave strands feeling softer after rinse. Regular use can improve manageability compared with typical oxidative dyes.

• Amla and henna contribute strengthening and gloss-enhancing effects
• Aloe vera and Brazil nut oil provide hydration and cuticle smoothing
• Designed to leave hair softer and more manageable after application

How long does the color last and how is it applied?

This semi-permanent cream arrives ready-to-use and requires no mixing, simplifying at-home application. Expect gradual fading over roughly 10–12 shampoos, though longevity varies with hair type and care routine. Application is straightforward: apply to dry or towel-dried hair, leave for the recommended time, then rinse thoroughly.

• Ready-to-use cream—no developer or mixing needed
• Color typically fades over multiple washes; longevity varies by hair care
• Follow package timing and perform a strand test for best results

Who is this for: This product suits anyone seeking darker, natural-looking coverage for gray strands while prioritizing botanical ingredients and milder chemistry. It’s particularly helpful for people with sensitive scalps, those who prefer plant-forward hair care, or users wanting to refresh color without permanent oxidative dyes. If you have very light, heavily bleached hair or a history of extreme color reactions, do a strand test and consult a stylist before full application.
