black hair

Uma,
No need to thank me at all. We are all here to help each other and share our experiences. I do the same as you said, but I do nto mix any other powder in it. After i apply henna, may be for my next shampoo, I put amla and shika or ritha together. But for Henna I just mix previous night with decotion in an iron vessel. My sister in India does not even use iron vessel and still gets rich colour. sh e says it gives her itching if she mixes in iron vessel.

Also, today, i googled indigo powder and they are expensive here. I bought mine for 50 Rs for 50 grams. I got a packet that is similar to the one showed in this website. This is from Dr. Urjita Jain.
Indigo Powder Indigoferra Tinctoria Hair Color Hair USA - eBay (item 160306220176 end time Nov-17-09 12:29:38 PST)

The chepest one i found was in the following site. You can check it out.
Henna Black Powder: Indigo (Indigofera tinctoria; Qing Dai) 1 lb - $8.39 : KT Botanicals, Ethnobotanicals, Extracts, Live Plants, Seeds, Herbal Medicines, Nootropics, Essential Oils, Books and More!#

I do not know anything about the authenticity of these sites. I just googled them. I hope this helps.

regards,
Shanti.

Hi,

I had made an indigo powder and henna mixture for my mom . But the colour of the hair became orange . Can u give the complete procedure like for example whether to mix it with water, tea and in which vessel . I had mixed it in tea and used an iron vessel.

Besides, that I think Urjita Jain's indigo powder is not good

Dear Soniya Jaraika,

I would like to tell you that BLACK ROSE Kali Mehendi is not good for hair. My parents have been using it for more than ten years and it has resulted in immense hair fall. My mother's hair has been reduced to almost half.

Be careful,
cutejen

Hi friends,
those living in US can order online or by phone for all the products like
Amla powder,henna powder , indigo powder etc,
check this website and lot of information how to apply and the best result
I order through this website and using from last 2 years very good result.
Mehandi.com shop - Henna, Indigo and Harquus .... body art and hair care supplies that are hard to find!
aruna

hi shashu...I think it is best to ask the laundry guy or the people who dye clothes because they are the ones who use indigo whitening effect in white cothes and dyers use to colour the clothes.they will guide you as to where it is available in bulk and reasonable.indigo is called NEEL in hindi and we use it to whiten the white clothes .Friends please correct me if i am wrong

Hi,
did anybody else have tried purchasing from the above site

it shows 45$ for 500gms
is that reasonable?

any suggestions??????????


thanks

Sorry guys I told that it was best to ask the laundry guys for indigo but NO that indigo is different .the one we are talking about is the real crushed leaves of indigo.I just got it applied and am very happy with the result.
