information
: for taking your color to jet black. They said to mix up alma
powder
: and let it set overnight and then mix up your henna powder and mix
: the alma powder in this mix and let it set for 12 hours, then you
: apply as usual. I had some Alma powder so I decided to
experiment.
: I had hennaed my hair last week so I mixed up the alma powder and
: let it set over night. This morning I mixed up the indigo, let it
: release dye and then mixed in the alma. I let this set a few
: minutes longer and then applied. I thought it was not working as
I
: saw no color change on my gloves or cap. I washed it out after 1
: 1/2 hours thinking it was a bust. I only used conditioner as they
: said on the site not to shampoo for 24 hours. I let it dry and I
: have the blackest hair I have ever had. It is a perfect match to
my
: eye lashes and brows. I am totaly amazed. Nothing was stained
