Stupid question of the day:
Anybody notice color variations in different batches of Karishma? The last three packs I've used, when I poured the powder in the bowl, it was greenish brown, not a very vibrant color. When I added the liquid it mixed up sort of dark green, and then after the dye release, it seemed to turn very brown.
The packed I opened last night seemed to be bright green. I let it sit for 12 hours, and just checked it - it's still pretty green. I was wondering if the dye had released, but I put some on my hand and after wiping it off I did notice an orange tint in that spot. I'm guessing it's ok to use, I just wondered if there was a difference.
I did a Aphogee protein trmt (hardcore), how long should I wait to do my henna?

That's a good question! I'd like to know also!
I love the Karishma Henna! It left my hair soft and a bit stronger! This round is my 2nd attempt at using henna. The 1st time (different type henna) my hair was left dry and hard so I left it alone for about a year. I just purchased some more from AyurNatural Beauty along with some Indigo (I like my hair black). My 1st purchase of Karishma was from Ruchita, but I disliked the very grainy Indigo that I also purchased. I hope the quality of Indigo from AyurNatural Beauty is much better!
Thanks, Aggie! You are always so helpful.Cass, I've only used one bag of Karishma henna so far and it came out pretty good but I still thing I got better color deposit from the henna I bought from fnwl.com (covered my grays very very well) but the softness of my hair from Karishma was undeniable but IMO, my grays were not covered as well.
The next time I use Karishma, I will use it sans oils and other powders and mix it with either hot water or coffee just to see if I get better color deposit from it - not sure when yet though. I will condition next Tuesday or Wednesday with my fnwl.com henna and use the Karishma at a later time for color deposit.
I hope someone chimes in with the response you're looking for soon.
Thanks, Aggie! You are always so helpful.
I ended up using it anyway, but I only left it on for 4 hours. I would have been disappointed had this been the first henna treatment I ever used - I don't think this batch would have covered grays well. But since I was layering over henna already, it was cool. I don't know what the deal was with that batch. I should have taken a pic of it.
I put in some flat twists with shea butter and leave in conditioner and my hair was SOOOOOOOO soft when I took them out that night to go out to dinner. So it did it's job, as far as conditioning.
I bought 4 packs of Karishma Henna and I've just been staring at them. I really wanna henna my hair but I'm really scared how my hair will react. I want the color and conditioning properties. Well more so the color properties.
What is the best way to mix and use Karishma henna to get optimal color deposit?

You're welcomed honey. I may just go back to the original henna I started out using from fnwl. I loved the color deposit from that henna but I must be honest, the karishma did leave my hair a lot softer.
Thank you Aggie. You are so knowledgeable and so willing to share it.
Another question: Do I need to add more Alma to it since some is in it? I don't have alma powder. Is there something I can subsitute?
(I have hibiscus and Fenugreek powders) Is the Alma for color release?
Sorry guess that's more than 1 question.
If you are looking for a henna that adds color and washes clean without the gritty remains it often leaves behind try Karishma Herbal Henna.
I added 2 eggs, conditioner, water, and lemon juice to mine. I needed to tighten up my line of demarcation for this stretch Im trying to do.
I have tried Jamila and something other one I cant remember. Karishma is the best. I found it at the indian grocery store in Rockville, MD. This brand is hard to find.
As stated before, its said that you shouldnt use non-BAQ henna but the herbal mixture of this one is incredible. You notice a difference when you're washing it out. You hair is much softer and new growth is looser, of course given you dont use shampoo to wash it out.
Anyway, just wanted to share another Karishma Herbal Henna success story.

Karishma herbal henna is awesome ladies! I did my first henna gloss yesterday afternoon and must say that I could kick myself for waiting so long to try it.
Hi there,What did it do for you
Hi there,
My hair is extremely shiny and much thicker after the gloss. I have fine strands and lately they have been extremely limp and lifeless(it doesn't help that I relax bone straight either but my hair tends to catch and knot around itself something terrible if I telax). With this wash, I noticed that I had no problem with tangles or knotting and I am sold. The Karishma henna was the only thing that I used differently with this wash so I attribute the shine, thickness, and ease with detangle to the henna gloss. My plan is to do a henna gloss once a week from here on out.
Hey there sweetie,I have been watching this thread since it began. I don't know why I am scared to try Henna, I've done everything else.
I'm looking for thickness and darkness. Do I need to get Indigo also?
I know about thin strands, I have been texlaxing for 2 years, it helps with the flat and limpness.
Glad you finally tried it and loved it.
If y'all are looking for a vendor to purchase it from (I know many don't want to order from Ruchita anymore), I found this vendor who has some great reviews... I was kinda wondering if this vendor WAS Ruchita! But no negative reviews posted...
