COLORING GRAY HAIR WITH HENNA

[CynamonKis]

If anyone besides me has had issues with coloring gray hair near the front hairline, then I'd like to share this with you.

Henna alone does a good job of coloring the gray throughout my hair. BUT my gray concentrated near my front hair line looks orangish-red after henna alone. I then tried indigo in this area, but that made it too dark.

After coloring my entire hair with henna, I then applied a mixture of 3/4 indigo with 1/4 henna hair dye, and applied it to the gray at the front hairline and VOILA--it was colored a nice darkish red brown.

Henna hair dye may be purchased from www.sababotanical.com.

Thanks a million you have answer my ????'s. I have gray right in the front as well and I really don't want the tall tale sign of reddish gray hair.

Do you add conditioner to your henna? I am thinking of adding Kenra MC.

Some people do add a little conditioner to henna with good results, I just use 1 tbsp. avocado oil to the henna right before I put it into my hair & after rinsing the henna out I condition w/avocado conditioner for 5 minutes
