My mother has gray asian hair and she wants to have dark brown (or close to balck) hair.. Does she have to add indigo or is it possible?

Hi, you absolutely must use indigo along with this. It's really good, but it's the first step. It will take out all the grey,but it turns hair orange. My hair is darkest brown, almost black. I have a lot of frosty grey. Once I use the Nupur Mehendi, it's bozo the clown orange.Then after the indigo, it's a very pretty dark brown with an auburn highlighted look.

Yes. I have very dark brown hair with auburn highlights, streaked with silver. All natural. I absolutely love this product, as does my honey blond haired daughter. We use it as often as daily with no ill effects.

Yes, you have to first make a mixture of water and henna (adding lime and olive oil is recommended) and let it sit for 12 to 18hr to bleed/release the dye. Add the indigo just before applying to hair because the dye release/bleed rate for indigo is quite fast. Blend mixture to preferable consistency and slap on your hair. Leave on for 2_6 hrs then wash hair by rainsing with water only and dry. Shampoo and condition following day.

While your grays will likely take on a lot of color, it might be color that you don't like/expect. Likely a very red, or heaven forbid, very blue color, from the henna or indigo. I wouldn't risk it, personally.

Yes, you has to bleach you hair first,put de color the most blonde you can, and do. The las time a did, a mix T14 AND T18 This worked very well, on covering up my gray hair, leavy my hair shiny, soft and natural looking!!!!

Unfortunately no, but really no color will if you want it true to swatch you have to bleach dark hair. If you're bleach-shy this will look like a blue tint on dark hair that's only noticeable in direct light.

I'm sorry but we don't have the knowledge to offer advice on use of the hair color. Thank you!

I have dark brown hair, so, I use brunette, it's pretty dark, I don't if that would be too dark if your hair is lighter.

I would imaging that you can use tis indigo separate as with other brand indigo. I use it separate for the darker brown to black color. For me it's 3 hours henna and one hour indigo. I mix salt with my indigo mix for a richer darker color. I've also use the indigo in the light blue box. Compare the prices!

I really like the dark brown, I have never tried the soft black. As a matter of fact it is on my hair right now. I do have gray hair and it does a nice job covering. It last as long as it takes for your hair to grow, usually 5 or 6 weeks.. It will stay longer, but I have to do it that often because of my roots. I think you should try it.. It is also a good conditioner.

I love this product. I my hair is very dark before the gray showed up. If you have light brown hair it might not work, but med to dark yes. Also I towel dry after i shampoo and while still in the shower I comb my hair back and with he'd tilted back, squirt the product over the hair roots in the fron and middle of the head and brush it thru. Do not rinse. I then I finish showering I wrap a towel over my hair and then style as usual.. Warning: keep an old towel just for this, towel will pick up the grey tones of the product.

I have gray hair so I don't have to bleach first. If your hair is dark you would to really make the color show.

I started using indigo in November (4 months ago). My color has not faded at all. My hair is difficult to dye! I have had permanent dyes that washed out when I rinsed my hair. I only apply indigo to my new growth, after applying henna. I do not mix them. I like that dark auburn with red streaks. It looks like my family's hair color. This product is also not as gritty as others and easier to rinse out (after three rinses with applying conditioner between rinses).

No! It would look great! Spray a light mist - or spray a heavy mist - I have dark hair and blue eyes - I spray one layer and let it dry then another. Useful to all skin tones ~ Enjoy!!

When I have done the two step process with henna and indigo I have gotten a dark brown/black that never fades, I can't dye over it or beach it out, it is just stuck. I have also done the one step process (where henna and indigo are mixed) to make brown.So is your goal to have brown hair or black? My short answer is yes, you can use indigo to get the red out. I would do all of your hair so the color would be consistent.

I have quite a bit of grey and it tends to take the color extremely well. You get a much more vivid color than even the bleached hair gets! Good luck.

You need to use 10% developer, and you are going to be very happy with the result. Trust me, I have a lot of stubborn gray hair, and I am using 10 . It covered all the gray in my roots.
