Another Karishma Herbal Henna User...Best Henna I've Ever Used

I use this kind of henna too and I love it. It is only 1.99 a bag and that is enough for my whole head.
 
ok wait so this is not body art quality henna? it would be unsafe to use on colored hair?

Ruchita seems to be the only US vendor that I can find.

I used to see it so much more online when I first started using it about a year and a half ago.

Not sure why I don't see it as much now.

But, Ruchita got it. make sure yall use the lhcf
discount to get the 10% off.

What discount? How can I get it?
 
Do any of you ladies know how long henna stays in the hair? How often must you henna? This summer I want to get my hair lightened with blonde highlights, and I want to know if they're going to have to lift my hair because of the henna, or will the henna have faded by then if I choose not to henna as often? TIA
 
OMG - I love this stuff! I just posted about it last week on another forum. I had been ordering from Mehandi.com but tried Karishma from my local Indian grocer.

I thought my wonderful experience the first time I used it was a fluke. After the second henna was so positive, I went back and bought 6 bags! My third henna was the BEST ever!

Has anyone tried this henna with indigo for a jet black color?

I have. I don't have the best pictures available on my Fotki because my camera was acting weird. I used Karishma Henna, then rinsed it out. I let my hair air dry a little and then added my indigo mixture.

The result is a natural looking black mane. I can't find my gray hair. I will be using Karishma from now on.

Hi there,

Do you mind me asking what your indigo recipe is and if it's okay if I take a look in your fotki to see the results pics?
tia,

I think I used Indigo on my Avatar pic. Also, my fotki page is in my signature.
Hey, I just use 150 grams of Indigo.
I add water and a 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt to it.
I make sure the mixture is thick. I immediately add it to 80% air-dried hair.

But for the ladies that don't use indigo, Karishma leaves the hair a beautiful color. I wish I could "transition" to that color that Karishma leaves.

That salt is key :yep:

I did a HIN (henna-indigo) treatment last night without Karishma :nono:. I wont be doing that again. I hair does not feel good today but I'll manage until a few co-washes softens this thing up. I added ALOT of Amla oil to henna and to the indigo. It helped and made my hair very dark and sheeny (sp?) looking.

Whats N.O?
 
I'm thinking about ordering this right from the manufacturer because it only costs a few cents in India and would cost me too much with online prices plus shipping.

But I saw that there is the Karishma Herbal Blend and then there is the Karishma Special Herbal blend. Anyone know what is the difference and which one is better?

This site will explain: http://www.jeetherbals.com/products.html

If you click on the links on the right it gives detailed description. I think the special blend has aloe and hibiscus added.
 
Wow I'm am very surprised that no one is getting dry hair with this henna because it contains Aritha AND Shikaki, I hear both of these can be pretty drying. But now people are saying it's better than Jamila...I think I will order a bag from Ruchita to compare. I wish I could find it locally. I was gonna try the BAQ quality Jamila but it is too expensive so hopefully if Karishma works I will be able to pay less.
 
I have used Karishma twice and I really like the color it gave my hair. It really enhanced my previously commercially colored (Aveda) ends. I did a hair ball test first. I highly recommend that step for anyone with commercial color. I purchased my Karishma henna from a local indian market in Takoma Park, MD. I was surprised to see it there. I also bought a few boxes of Jamilla. I used the Jamila first and it went on smooth and rinse out was great. However, I liked the color payoff of the Karishma better.

I am wondering if anyone has used Henna for African hair from Mehandi.com: http://www.mehandi.com/shop/hairhenna.html

I want to know how it compares to Karishma. I may place an order and do a comparison.

I have used the Henna for African hair. I really liked it and it washed out so easily. I'm pretty sure it's similar to Jamila Henna.

I used Indigo immediately following my application so I wasn't looking for color payoff.

I've never used Karishma so I can't compare it, although I do have some waiting to be used. But once again I will probably use Indigo behind it.
 
I finally bough this henna last week from Ruchita and is patiently waiting for it's arrival and I can't wait to try it out.

Thanks so much for your response!

I ordered 200 grams of Henna for African hair last week. I should get it sometime this week. i can't wait to try it out!

ETA: My Henna for African hair arrived today at work. Very fast shipping. I already mixed up some Karishma this morning to use tonight. So I will try the HAF (Henna for Arfican hair) next week.

Thats the great thing about this henna. The blend of herbs are perfection. My hair is never dry or tangled after. I used a different henna last week because I couldnt find the Karishma. BIG MISTAKE. My hair still hasnt probably recovered to what it used to be. My sister's wedding is next so I'm going to work with it until then.

I haven't tried the Karishma Henna yet but I'm thinking this is a well balanced mixture as well.

I have not been able to balance using my Ayurveda powders, so hopefully this henna will have the perfect blend for me.
