Henna can be played with make a range from orange to deep burgundy red the secret is what you add to it. Yoghurt (i’m not sure if this will work with your vegan yoghurt, cajput oil, clove tea, coffee, black tea, hibiscus tea, clove oil, lemon juice will give deeper colours. Furthermore, you must mix it up and let it sit for a while (2-8hrs). Some henna after an hour will produce a very rich colour.

Hi,
I’m a middleaged scot, love your site. Not vegan – yet! but your site is inspiring and have tried out some recipes. I have dyed my hair for years as I started going grey when I was 16. I have almost 100% silver hair – quite nice but not ready for that yet. I am allergic/or sensitive to hairdyes and my hair was in a terrible state so I went back to henna/indigo. I used to use just henna in my 20′s when I didn’t have too many grey hairs and it gives your hair luxurious shine and condition and a reddish tone- lovely. Now my hair is almost all grey/silver I apply henna first then indigo which isn’t perfect and is v time consuming but does give my hair a dk brown colour sometimes with reddish roots and bits. I add a tbsp of oil olive oil is good – to both mixes, not only does it seem to conditioner your hair but helps in the application of the goo. I also try not to use shampoo etc v often – it’s itchifying -but do use shikakai powder for a deep clean it’s fantastic.
thanks for all your info and inspiration and you do look lovely with all your different colours

@ Alex – Alas, Kool-Aid only works on very light hair. It won’t go over natural brunette without bleaching – which of course defeats the purpose of Kool-Aid. Sorry! =(

How did Kool-Aid work for you? My daughter, a natural brunette, wants to try out blue Kool-Aid, but I’m not so sure.

@ Acacia – I’m not familiar with indigo, personally. But I know there’s a lot of information about it at http://www.hennaforhair.com

Good luck! Let me know if you get good results – I’d love to know of a natural blue! =D
