You make a good strong pot of coffee and let it cool, then add it to your henna powder to make the past which you apply to the hair. If you wrap your head in cling film (saran wrap in the US), and leafve it for as long as possible (some people clain to sleep in it??) I leave mine for 2/3 hours, you get a deeper shade. Then you can do the cider vinegar rinse for shine. You can also mix it with red wine for a deeper shade of red, beetroot also works but I reckon that would be abit pink! (Maybe nice for the teens??)

The only prob is now i have a lot of greys that my hair ends up looking orange. The black henna does not work for me,I have tried chemical based dyes like l'oreal and my head is so itchy and the life has completely disappeared from my hair so my question is what can i use that is henna and not orange, but works? or how can i get my dulhan henna to change colour by mixing something in the powder paste?

Kool-aid is probably not natural. I bet it has food color and maybe additives and preservatives too. I believe "chemical free" reference means no additives, fake food colors, or preservatives; stuff that damages the body. Again,thanks for the helpful info. I want to cover gray without using hair colors containing toxin's, or are damaging to hair . Thanks for the helpful info. Kool-aid is probably not natural.

Haven't dyed my hair since until 6 weeks ago. I had a very bad allergic reaction, sores and itching all over my scalp then scabbing and more itching. Needless to say, can't go through that again. I'm allergic to phenylenediamine and PABA. Just bought Surya Henna Cream which contains no phenylenediamine, ammonia,etc. Sounds like it might work for me but I'm scared to try it Anybody tried Surya Cream? I'd love to know of your experience. The last time I dyed my hair was 1985 when I ended up in Emergency. Haven’t dyed my hair since until 6 weeks ago.
