How to Mix Henna

Henna Plant

HENNA gives Reddish tones for brunette and copper tones for white or light hair.

Indigo Plant

INDIGO gives blueish tones, brown-black tones on brunette or when mixed with henna for white or light hair.

Cassia Plant

CASSIA is clear for brunette and warm golden tones for light or white hair.

Amla Berry

AMLA conditions the hair and boosts curl, and adds cool golden tones to henna mixes.

Best Mixing Practices

50-75g for short hair, 100-150g for medium length, 200-250g for long hair.
  1. Mix Henna, indigo and cassia in a bowl with lukewarm water to make a paste similar to a ketchup consistency.

  2. For resistant grey, premix Henna with water and 15 g of Amla. Let sit for 6-12 hours before application.

  3. Apply the henna paste to a section of clean wet or damp hair from roots – ends.

    4. Wrap hair with plastic wrap or shower cap to keep moist.

    5. Let sit for 1-4 hours. The longer, the deeper the shade. Rinse thoroughly.

  • Use Shikakai Powder to rinse out treatments in replacement of shampoo & conditioner, plus add Soap nuts for shine and Hibiscus to  strengthen the roots.
