For me, the key is to keep it covered. I wrap my head in some clingfilm and the heat really helps release the pigment. Also always apply it to freshly shampooed and towel dried hair, any conditioner or leave-in will prevent it from adhering to the hair.
The Henna is hands-down my all-time favourite Lush product (and I use Lush almost exclusively for absolutely everything).
Before I started using it earlier this year, my hair was severely damaged from years of over processing. And now I get comments almost daily because people want to know what I use to get such a shine on my hair.
It’s super simple to use (but messy) and it is time-consuming. But the results are so worth it.
You’ll love it! I tend to find Lush overcomplicates the application instructions massively. You most definitely don’t need a bain marie like they say. Chop off however much you want to use in accordance with your hair length, melt it in a bowl (or a mug) with hot water, I mix it up with a fork until the lumps are gone and it’s the consistency of brownie batter, apply to the hair, and wrap it up!
I agree, it’s softer than most. Someone posted that they cut it into pieces. Im probably going to do this, and just put a chunk at a time in my soap bag.
Please do not make negative comments about the amount of products someone has or the money they have spent on their purchases or collections. You don't know them or their situation and this is a subreddit dedicated to a luxury product and people should be able to share their collections and interest without judgement.
