hi

you can mix beetroot juice in henna to get reddish hair color.

Mix shenaz henna powder with tea decotion (black tea) in an iron vessel with one spoon of oil and let it be for overnight.. Dont wash iron vessel before mixing all these.. cause if its washed the rust goes and wont give u better reults... But with henna only the grey hair will turn into red not the black hair..

So if u wanna give ur hair red shade try using Garnier color naturals, u get drak red in this... go for patch test if u r using for first time...

Hi

I had just updated this info- unfortunately did not see your request before... so here goes


First Buy quality henna (Everest is a good brand but if you can get henna from delhi/ jaipur nothing like it). Filter the same so that no lumps are available in the same. Make a decoction of water, tea(2 tbs) and coffee powder (2 Tbs). Boil and let it cool. drain and keep aside. Mix the decoction with the henna and let it stay overnight with a Iron laddle inserted into the mixture. This actually helps with the colour enhancement. Before application add about 2 eggs with yolks into the mixture. The paste consistancy should be the drop consistancy- not too watery or too thick a paste.

If incase you are looking for a Burgandy shade, boil about 2 medium sized beetroots, and make them into a fine paste. Mix this with the henna and let it stay over night.

For those with Dry Hair, Add a bit of Methi Powder and an extra egg. (will stink a bit but worth the effort)

Never apply mehendi to oily hair. and never use shampoo on the day of rinsing the mehendi off. Oil your hair the next day, this helps with colour retention and also with conditioning of your hair.
