I've used the dark brown and it isn't quite dark enough for covering gray hair. I don't know for sure but I would give it a try. I've also heard that you can add day old coffee, rather than water to the mix - to bring out the brown. Somewhere I also read that you can add black castor oil, which you can order through Amazon. Just add a little less water. I haven't yet tried these but I plan to experiment more in the future!

I don't see why not. The color may come out differently then what you are wanting. I would go into a salon and let them know you have been using henna and want to color your hair with something else. Is that what you were asking?

My hair is definitely not black either but it is dark brown. You may want to order a can and just see what it looks like. It does wash out if it is the wrong color.

I saw someone do it on YouTube and she had a afro. I got dark brown hair but not a afro tho but it worked IDK if the texture matters so give it a try girl!

The only way to do that would to use indigo coloring, you can't use regular hair dye it won't take unless you use oops hair color removal first. I've tried dying over henna with regular black box hair dye and it just washed right out.

The result was really dark even though I mixed with 40-50% neutral henna (no color). The problem is the indigo color which will go very dark. I am experimenting now with Avigal henna, using their neutral, hazel and champagne colors. Not there yet, but close. I ended up getting salon highlights to lighten up the results from Lively Light Brown. They say to do a strand test, but I did not do that.

I have a bit of gray. I used Henna for the first time and it covered everything beautifully. I'm a complete convert now. I have pretreated hair, years of dyeing. I'm not sure how well the Henna would grab a hold of untreated hair but for me, it's maintained it's color wonderfully. Can't recommend enough.

The quick answer I have is that it depends on two things: what color your hair is now, & how you prepare the henna. I highly recommend the techniques in this free henna book pdf.(maybe skip the first part which is history, the good stuff is a little ways down) http://www.hennaforhair.com/freebooks/hennaforhair.pdf I have used the technique twice now and am not at all disappointed like I have been with past hennas where I just boiled the water etc... Anyway, they will show you before and after pics of different types and colors of hair which helps a lot! Plus the lemon juice overnight thing works so well, my hair has stayed so well since I did it with this Silk and Stone (but I did a mix cus I have dark hair and wanted more dark auburn) I still get compliments, so this particular powder should do you very well assuming you use a good technique. Hope it helps you as much as it helped me =)

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.

to my knowledge, indigo will make your hair blue (i'm not sure you would want that). I've been mixing 2/3 of indigo with 1/3 of henna to achieve dark brown hair (my hair is brown with some grey hair to begin with). Check out henna for hair website for ideas.

I think 1 pack should be enough but it really depends how long is your hair. I have shoulder length hair and I only used 1/2 pack. I don't know about mixing but I guess that would work. One thing I found out about Henna is that color doesn't stay long at the 1st time of using. I did a 2nd dyeing few weeks later and that lasted much longer.

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 have very dark brown hair (though it lightens in the summer) how do i get a rich dark shade of reddish brown hair? What should i add to it?

I think this is the perfect product to test out a black tattoo. The color turns to a blue/black (cool, not warm) color and is quite saturated for a henna application. Good luck!

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

The henna powder turns your hair a coppery reddish brown color after application. The powder once mixed with water looks brown. You should watch some of the Utube videos to see what it looks like before you use it. Also keep in mind that henna can leave hair feeling hard, so you have to moisturize and condition your hair on a regular basis.
