    Cool Indigo/henna/amla gloss with pictures!!!

    Hello, my name is Nightdragon and I am addicted to henna/amla/indigo gloss!!!

    After the first two henna glosses I did (here is the link)

    http://http://forums.longhaircommuni...ad.php?t=75199

    I liked the color, but I wanted it darker, more browny trying in vain to match what I think I recall my natural hair color is! So I doctered the recipe for the 3rd and 4th glosses.

    3rd Gloss: I split the henna and indigo 50/50 and ditched the lemon juice. I used a strong black organic tea.

    4th gloss: I ised 1 tbsp yeman henna, 1/2 tbsp amla, and 2 tbsp indigo and black organic tea to make them all smooth. I then added cone free tresemme conditioner and slapped it on over damp hair, shopwer capped it and gave it a shot of blowy dryer. I let it sit on for 30 minutes (but I might give it a full hour next time)
    And here we are with the results!



    The 1st pic is from the second time I henna glossed with more henna, and the darker pic is the new recipe with more indigo


    Hooray for henna, amla and indigo!!!

    Wow, that's a beautiful head of hair. Love the color and the shine. If it suited my skin tone I would have tried for something like that.

    That is gorgeous! I don't know enough about henna but have been thinking I needed to stay away from it because it meant you always have to go red. I am off to read up on it...
