If you are looking for a blonde henna and don't know which shade to choose, there is something important you should know: with Blonde Henna, there isn't just one single result.
Depending on how you prepare it or what you combine it with, you can achieve a golden blonde, a cooler blonde, a more platinum blonde, or even a more ash blonde. Therefore, understanding the possibilities of Blonde Henna well will help you better choose the shade that suits you best.
In this guide, we will tell you what blonde shades you can achieve with Real Earth's Blonde Henna, how to prepare each mixture, and what recommendations to follow to obtain a beautiful and balanced result.
1. Blonde Henna alone: golden blonde
If you use Blonde Henna alone, the result we are looking for is a golden blonde.
It is an ideal option if you like warm, luminous tones with a natural shine. It brings light to the hair without losing that golden touch that many people look for when they want a vibrant and flattering blonde.
How to prepare and apply Blonde Henna
Add water at 30 ºC little by little until you get a creamy, yogurt-like texture. You can add a few drops of cold-pressed oil to the mixture.
Apply the mixture evenly to the roots and leave on for a maximum exposure time of 30 minutes.
2. Blonde Henna + Beige Henna: cooler blonde
If you prefer to lower the warmth of the blonde a little, a good option is to combine Blonde Henna with Beige Henna.
This mixture helps achieve a cooler and more balanced blonde, with less gold and a visually softer finish. It is a very interesting alternative for those who prefer less warm and more neutral tones.
How to prepare and apply Blonde Henna + Beige Henna
Mix 50% Blonde Henna and 50% Beige Henna.
Add water at 30 ºC little by little until you get a creamy, yogurt-like texture. You can add a few drops of cold-pressed oil to the mixture.
Apply the mixture evenly and leave on for a maximum exposure time of 30 minutes.
3. Blonde Henna + Aloe Vera: more platinum blonde
Another interesting option is to combine Blonde Henna with Aloe Vera.
With this mixture, we are looking for a more platinum blonde, visually lighter, softer, and with less warmth. It is a good alternative if you want to move away from gold and get closer to a cleaner and more delicate blonde.
How to prepare and apply Blonde Henna + Aloe Vera
Mix 50% Blonde Henna and 50% Aloe Vera.
Add water at 30 ºC little by little until you achieve a creamy, yogurt-like texture. You can add a few drops of cold-pressed oil to the mixture.

4. Double-step Blonde Henna + Blonde Balance: ashier blonde
If you are looking for an ashier blonde, the most interesting option is the double-step of Blonde Henna + Blonde Balance.
In this case, the result is an ashier blonde, cooler and with less visible gold. It is ideal for those who want a more muted, balanced, and less warm finish.
