Cool Getting dark reddish hair color with Henna?

Ladies
My hair is black and I have some grey hair and I want to cover it with Henna. Can someone tell me the ingredients and their proportions to get a dark reddish brown color? I need a dark shade to make it blend well with the rest of the hair.
Thanks
Ginger

Default Beetroot

Hi......

I personally dont like henna as I feel it makes hair dry over a period of time but you get Anoo's Hair Pack with out Henna in the market. Mix that with beetroot water ( chop beetroot and pressure cook it with enough water, and strain. You can use this water for mixng hair pack. You can make some beetroot curry later on....). You will get a beautiful deep brown to burgandy colour. Trust me!! with regular use of this beetroot water makes hair look very beautiful.

Enjoy.......Prema

Hi Ginger
To get a red tint,
· Take henna Powder Mix with
· Tea water (Reduce 3cup of tea water to 1 cup of water & strain it & then add into Henna,
· Add Beet root juice, lime (optional) mix it & keep it for 1-2 hrs.... mix it well
· Apply evenly on your hair keep it for 1 to maximum 2.5 hrs . wash your hair only with water, do not use Shampoo or soap just rinse with water,
· Use shampoo after a day or two, this will highlight your hair as desired.

One suggestion:
  • Overuse of henna makes your hair dry, & these days available henna isn’t pure & natural this further develops greys. It is perfect to use once in 2-3 months.
  • To get shine Please add castor oil & lime this clears dandruff, & gives excellent shine, Castor oil if mixed in henna is very easy to wash shampoo can be used.
All the best!
Take care
