If you use this by itself without the henna will the result be blue?

Yes. What are you dying? I used it to dye the tips of my hair blue. All I did was make it into a paste with a little water let it sit on hair for about 20 min rinse it out and it will be the prettiest blue! If your hair is a light blonde...

It shows up blue on naturally grey strands. My medium-brown-going-grey hair becomes a cool dark brown with blue highlights with indigo alone.

No, it'll be blue-black, though as with any and all dyes, it depends on how long you leave it on, and if you decide to go that route, remember that you only mix it with water to mashed potato consistency. No lemon juice or anything citric, as you would use with henna.

Yes! You have to do the henna first. Leave it on for about 2-4 hours and then apply indigo to rinsed hair. Leave it on for 1-2 hours. Good luck! The results are beautiful. Also, keep both mixtures like pancake batter(moist) and use a shower cap to keep in from dripping. Once it dries it no longer deposits color.

I have read in the past, that it will give a blue tint, or a variety of hues without the Henna, or in variable degrees or amounts of henna, depending on your hair color. I've never used indigo without the addition of Henna. A great resource for a variety of answers can be found on youtube. I hope this was of some help.

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!

Yes, you can if you want to remove the henna from your hair. I would use this with a 20 or 30 volume developer since 40 volume will destroy your hair. Remember that will all bleaching, there will be damage. The amount of damage is determined by the health of your hair so make sure your hair is healthy and you deep condition after wards!

I used it on my color treated ends and it made them a beautiful fiery red that I had to cut off eventually r/t damage. I don't think the two are related but I can't be sure that the henna didn't make bad worse.

If you normally use an entire pack of the dye of whatever product I would think you would get the same results using the Henna.

My hair was extremely damaged when I started using the henna dye. Honestly, I think it will be true to the color.. my hair is just incapable of holding the color. When I used it, it came out a reddish brown but not orange at all. I'm still working on getting healthier hair to see if it gives me more vibrant results, but it wasn't near as bright as I expected.

It doesn't stain a dark color. But it is henna and will leave a grayish hue if you leave it on your skin directly. You shouldn't have a problem with your scalp. If your rub a little vaseline on your hairline you should be okay. Wear a shower cap and you can even roll toilet paper around your hairline to prevent dripping and smearing.

I have been using Henna to dye my hair since last year for the same reason of yours. It says it is 100% pure. According to my experience this Henna power dyes my grey hair into deep orange red color if using alone. I now use two steps (Henna followed by Indigo) to dye my grey hair back to my original color -soft back. It works well for me. Being gritty is the only drawback I feel about this product, but it does do the job. Recently, I found a local Indian store which sells henna. Product from there smells the same and does the same job. The only difference is that the texture is finer. I hope this answers some of your questions.

You mean after you've used it to color your hair? Absolutely, henna is kind of like a hair "stain" so heat doesn't affect it. High heat might make the color fade a little faster, but that's true of any hair color. It also might make it bleed the color more if you use heat on it within a few days of coloring your hair, which chemical hair color does not do. It's also going to smell a bit herby/earthy, but not in a bad way. This stops after three or four washes. I really like henna for coloring my hair, it leaves it thicker and softer. Do remember that you cannot use checmical hair color after you use henna, because henna coats the hair shaft and chemical color won't cover it. So once you henna, you always have to henna, unless you get your hair stripped or until your hair has grown out. Hope this helps!

my hair is naturally light brown, and when I used the henna for the first time it did give me the deep red that I wanted. I would recommend for you to leave it as long as you can, the longer you keep it on the deeper the red is. The longest I've left it on is 3 hrs and it was a nice deep red, maybe the color you want. good luck!

I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black. The colors are misrepresented. There is too much indigo powder in the browns and your hair will be black and there is no way to remove it. I tried Prell, Head and Shoulders shampoo, which are very harsh and usually strip color from hair. I applied 100% pure henna 3 days apart for 4 hours each time and finally noticed a tiny reddish tone. Customer service rep told me the colored packets like light brown and medium brown which I also ordered should never be used over henna hair and it was my mistake. They advised me to go to a salon or wait for it to grow out; hardly solutions to the problem. I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black.

I have not tried it on grey but I am confident it would cover grey. Henna is a natural dye and is powder that you mix with water. It is the same kind of stuff women in India have traditionally used to create beautiful temporary tattoos on their body, and so this does dye the skin but wears off after a couple days or a good scrub. It does not wear off of the hair. The only ingredient is powdered henna. The "level" is dependent on the color of hair being dyed and the length of time the dye is kept on the hair. The color is absolutely beautiful, but is much more subject to the original color of the hair than chemical dyes. I recommend at least an hour under heat for the best results.

I would suggest darkening your hair a bit before you use this henna. When I did mine, my roots were dark and the rest a medium blonde. The dark parts, my roots, turned the nice burgundy but the lighter sections turned orange like regular henna does.

Hello. You have to purchase the henna separately. I recommend Jamila BAQ henna. I hope this helps. : )

I don't see why not. It's pure henna. I had some on my skin and was able to wash it off, but I washed it off pretty quick. I think it would stain if you let it dry on your skin.

Amla did not affect the color of my hair dyed with henna. I also use the oil on my face. I think it's a great product.
