Latest hair colour pic

I dyed my hair with henna and amla last weekend. I mixed 50g of henna and 50g of amla with some lemon juice and water and left on my hair for about 3 hours.
Loving the red/auburn tones.

Joyce's hair - 2009

We've been experimenting to get a darkish auburn colour but don't want it too bright red/orange or too dark. My Mum is mostly grey but has quite fair skin so she doesn't want to have it too dark.
This is now the third time we've dyed it with a combination of henna and indigo, with amla added this time to soften the henna red slightly.
We are quite pleased with the results.
So glad that my mum doesn't mind me experimenting on her :-)

Shikakai Hair

I've been using Shikakai as a hair treatment, once a week for the past month or so... on my daughter.
Here's a pic of her hair. She loves the softness.


I basically mix up a paste and add to her wet hair. She sits and soaks in the bath for about 10 minutes, then we rinse her hair. She then sits in the "muddy" water for another 5 or 10 minutes. Shikakai is reputed to be good for both hair and skin. She's not too keen on the smell so I add a few drops of lavender essential oil.

Colour Mixes

I have created a page named Colour Mixes on LoveHennaHair on which I have listed the various shades that can be achieved by using the combinations of indigo / henna / cassia as natural hair dyes.

Please feel free to add your comments about the various colour effects of natural hair dyes onto our forum. We would love to know if you agree with our findings. And photos of your henna / indigo / cassia dyed hair would be a great addition to our site.
