: I got a very dark brown on my daughter's medium brown hair. I did
: it like the Indian site says to do and mixed half amla and half
: henna. I mixed both henna and amla up at the same time and combined
: them after 12 hours and let that mix set another 12 hours.
:
: For myself I mixed amla and let it set for twelve hours. I then
: mixed indigo and waited for dye release and combinded the two. I
: applied this to my hennaed hair and left it on for 4 hours. I got
: jet black and the black did not fade like it does with just indigo
: alone.

:
: Later, on my daughter, I applied the indigo/amla mix and she got jet
: black with NO fading.
:
: For us to get the black we want we must use henna first and then
: follow it with the indigo/amla mix. I use a 2:1 ratio for
: indigo/amla. That is 2 cups of indigo and one cup of amla.

Thanks Meg!

I can't wait to try all of these different combinations. I am due for
a touch up soon and will let you know how everything turns out.
