    Malspie,

    Should we add the beetroot juice instead of coffee/tea decoction?? Should this mix also be kept in an iron vessel? Thanks!

    Regards,
    Priya

    I went through all the tips for applying henna. Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. Will beetroot give a burgundy colour to the hair?

    to get black color you can try to put the gooseberry powder (amla powder) in the henna mix soak it for 1or 2 hours and then apply...however I would suggest you got to make this amla powder at home..buy indiangoose berries cut them into pieces dry them in sun and grind them...my mom use to put 1 or 2 spoons of this powder in the warm coconut oil and leave it for few days and use this oil whenever you massage your hair with oil..this is also one good way of getting your hair dark and good conditioning...

    Hi Cindyboo,

    mix Henna with indigofera tinctoria (less henna more indigofera) this last plant give a dark color with blue shine.
    If you want realli dark use only Indigofera tinctoria, and apply as henna.

    let me now if you like it!!!!

    I have used jamila & dulhan henna with good results. I mix it with hot( not boiling) chamomile tea & leave it for couple of hours for dye release & apply it for 4-8 hrs.

    Hi Lalla,

    I've used this (Indigo) and you are right!!! It works!!! I use henna first and then I go over and use the indigo powder. My hair is black now!! Thanks!
