Hi nandu, if ur hair is already grey then it will luk reddish, if not its very gud henna conditioning...

Thank you so much for this wonderful tip.
I have lot of greys too near the temples & been using garnier hair color for sometime.A natural hairdye is much better than artificial ones loaded with chemicals.

Hello,
I think the henna pack can turn into dark brown when we use it. I also apply henna pack once a month. It will make our hair dry if we often use it.applying with enough conditioners like mixing with it like tea dications ,egg white and lots of curd and a spoon of oil can make the hair healthy look.I wish to give a small tip that if you have less amount of grey hair you can go for henna. If you have many grey hair in sections you opt for a hair dye (less harmful than hair colouring).To go by the natures way there are many remedies but with a mild result. there is only one thing we can take it in our heart is that we are growing to another phase of life like a butterfly.just accept the nature and go on energetic:thumbsup

Dear Vanaja,

nice solution. . black colour hair remains the same. but grey will change into brown. i think so. i have a doubt. if we apply the paste, shall we wash our hair by using shampoo or plain water only/ please clarify.

Hello Ladies,

I came across this in one of the Tamil Magazines and I am putting it for you now.

Mix equal quantity (say 100gm) of Henna Powder and Amla Powder and make it to a paste adding water. Keep the mixture in a Iron vessel (or iron kadai) overnight. The next day you can find the mixture - turned black in colour. Add some curd (2 ladles) to the mixture and apply to your hair. Repeat this once or twice a week. You can see your hair turning black gradually. This is a natural home remedy for grey hair and it is harmless too.

Dear Ilites,

I have clearly mentioned in the very first line that I picked up this tip from a Tamil Magazine. So my knowledge is only upto that.

I am sorry, I do not know anything beyond that. I do not want to misguide anybody.

I see few of you have really benefited from this tip and few have your own opinion.

Try the tip, if it works for you it is well and good otherwise think that this is not for you.

hai,

we can have branded henna powders like SHENOY,AYUR and many other branded companies .It is availble in all super markets.After applying henna shampoo wash is a compulsary thing otherwise henna will make the hair dry.Try it:thumbsup
with regards,

Can a person with sinusitis and cold use this? Because I read somewhere that this should not be used by people with sinusitis and cold.... Is it true???

jayashreepraba · Mar 31, 2009

Hai Karuna,

person with sinus and cold can apply henna for just 1 hour or can reduce the amount of curd in it. As we are applying it once a month, it will help you .
