Frequently Asked Questions
-
Natural Ayurvedic hair colour uses plant dyes, chiefly henna (mehndi) and indigo, with conditioning herbs like amla, to colour and cover grey without the ammonia and peroxide of chemical dyes. It colours and cares for the hair at once.
- Henna, for warm red to auburn tones.
- Indigo, added for browns and blacks.
- Amla and herbs, for conditioning and depth.
-
Henna coats and stains the hair shaft with its natural pigment, giving warm tones from copper to deep auburn on its own, and it conditions as it colours. For browns and blacks, henna is followed by or mixed with indigo. The final shade depends on your starting colour, since henna is translucent and builds on what is there, so grey turns coppery, dark hair gains a subtle red sheen. Always do a strand test to preview your result.
-
For brown to black, use henna and indigo together, since henna alone gives only reddish tones.
- Apply henna first and rinse once it has developed.
- Then apply indigo, which deepens the red to brown or black.
- Alternatively, mix the two for a one-step brown (results vary).
Two-step application gives the richest, most lasting dark shades. Always strand test first.
-
Henna is gentler on the hair and scalp, conditioning rather than damaging, and free of ammonia and peroxide, which makes it a lovely choice for those avoiding chemicals or wanting healthier hair. Its trade-offs are a limited natural palette, a longer application, and results that build on your existing colour rather than lightening it. Chemical dyes offer more shades and lift but at a cost to hair health. Many choose henna precisely for that gentleness.
-
Mix henna powder into a smooth paste, let it release its dye, then apply to clean, dry hair and leave for two to four hours.
- Mix with warm water (a little lemon or tea optional) and rest a few hours.
- Apply section by section with gloves, coating each strand.
- Cover and leave 2 to 4 hours, then rinse with water (no shampoo that day).
- Colour deepens over the next day or two as it oxidises.
-
Henna covers grey effectively, though pure henna turns grey strands coppery-orange rather than brown, so for natural-looking grey coverage most people follow henna with indigo or use a henna-indigo blend. The grey takes colour readily because it has no competing pigment. Regular touch-ups every few weeks keep roots covered as hair grows. A strand test on a few grey hairs first shows you exactly what shade to expect before committing.
-
Yes, a few sensible ones: always patch test 48 hours ahead, since even plant dyes can occasionally cause reactions, and buy pure henna and indigo, as some "black henna" products contain harsh chemical additives (PPD) that can cause serious reactions. Do a strand test for colour, use gloves, and keep the paste out of the eyes. If you have recently used chemical dyes or treatments, results can be unpredictable, so test carefully first.
