.. that Amla reacts to indigo a bit like pectin, that it seems to bindthe molecules closer and make the liquid stiffer.. which is why i
prefer to add it to henna instead of the indigo now. Also, because for
me, it pushes the indigo too much to black, i don't want my hair to
turn _that_ dark ;). I think someone here also mentioned that amla
includes/is some kind of fructose (?), that would explain its
behaviour. And some ayurveda site said it was the same as myrobalan,
is that true?
