henna for hair: half-gray to dark brown

Lynette is about 50% gray. We used a mix of henna and indigo to dye her hair a rich dark-brown with the gray hair a deep reddish-brown.

My hair is darker then the lady in the video and I have grays too. I dont mind if the henna colors my grays a lighter brown i guess it would just look like highlights?

Will this really color it brown? Ive seen such RED disasters, what are they doing wrong?

@RachelLee113 Some people prefer not to use commercial hair dyes for a number of reasons, including concerns about the chemicals in packaged dyes and their possible effects on their health, so they use the henna process instead.

Hello, I'm Italian ... I saw this video and I think it is very interesting, especially when it concerns the method of application.

I noticed when the mixture is creamy of henna. Here in Italy I can not find that consistency, contain a lot of sand. Can I buy it from you? Or tell me you know a good brand? thanks

@ThePropheticfire Can you please tell me: if do what you say (henna first, then indigo) will it make my white hair really black? I'm aiming for deep chocolate brown.

the secret for very gray hair,,is use the henna first....then rinse it out,,,then put in indigo....the secret for gray hair is you have to leave the henna in till its as red as it can be,,,then rinse and add the indigo...if the gray is brassy or not reddish the indigo will not turn it brown
