: Hi Raven, as I mentioned in my previous post, I have not tested amla.
: I did post the link to the Indian website that has a recipe, but it
: also includes a few other ingredients that may have an effect.
:
: What I used to get black was to mix my henna in an iron skillet, then
: leave it there to develop. It took a while (of course, it's also
: winter and cold at my place), but I've read on other sites that it
: can take about 12-24 hours for the black color to develop.
:
: I was really surprised at the black-black results I got on my
: harvested dark brown hair. Gray hairs turned deep deep coffee brown.
:
: The henna powder I used was not from India, and it's the same powder
: I use currently to get my auburn shade.

Thanks for the post. I am going to try that. I assumed you had mixed
in amla to obtain a black colour. I wonder if anyone else in this
forum has tried this and obtained black hair. Very interesting.
