    Hi
    Just wanted to share my exp with Indigo..After long research I it bought it online and tried . But my hair did not turn out black .. It was was not kind of grayish and it is alreday turning back into white color within a week.. I just have 10 strands -grey as of now .. I am also wondering if henna/indigo can give proper coverage if you have lots of grey..

    Thanks

    I fully agree with you that orange hair looks bad I too have 80% grey hair and have used chemical hair colour for years and suddenly developed allergy so switched to mehandi but the same problem Orange hair but I got help from earth clinic one lady ranjana helped me to get herbal hair powder which has catnip, nettle, indigo and two other herbs which right now I don't remember. I don' know whether I.m allowed to give phone number on this forum but I get it home delivered and whether that lady sends outside mumbai or not I' not aware of it and yes this powder has to be mixed with good quality henna and it gives beautiful brown burgundy colour

    actually recently i came to know (i dont know how many years in market) there is a powder called kaca available in chennai where u have two packs of henna and indigo each, which says first day henna application next day indigo it works out wellbut only problem is it is too cold most of us get sinusitis but worth trying provided u have patience and time for two consecutive days, they also say u can put the same day but then cold attack is severe.

    Hi,

    I have used indigo powder mixed with henna powder. After reading all the interesting and informative posts on indigo powder, I wanted to share my experience with you all. I soaked henna powder with beet root water and tea decoction overnight in an iron kadhai. In the morning I mixed in indigo powder (2:1 ratio to henna powder) to and an egg white. Let it stand for 45 mins (indigo dye weakens if soaked for longer). I applied all over my hair using gloves and brush. Washed with plain warm water after 3 hours. I am super thrilled with the resulting hair color, a deep brown. Apply oil overnight or at least 2 hours before you shampoo the next day. Use a herbal/homemade shampoo to help preserve the color for longer.

    Earlier, with just henna, the grey hairs were a deep red, now I can hardly make out the difference between black and grey hairs.

    I wish to thank you for this very useful tip which helped me in my mission to tackle grey hair. Keep up the good work :))

    shanti.
