On my bleached hair, amla gave me the most ashy beige color. Used over my henna red, it seemed to cover all the red in its ashiness, giving me that beige tone again. I couldn't stand it against my warm complexion. I looked gloomy and dull. When I reported this on H4H, I was told not to apply amla immediately, to wait at least 30 minutes before using it. The last time I used it after letting it sit for at least an hour and it didn't make my hair ashy, so there might be something to waiting. Maybe the dye releases and demises quickly. Don't honestly know, but it's good to be able to finally use it without it making me so off-colored.
