After damaging my hair for years with permanent dyes and bleaches, I've decided to only put natural, chemical-free things for my hair.  Yesterday, my sister and I bought some Rainbow Henna in Persian Black from a health-food store.  Both of our hair is naturally black, but she's never dyed it in any way shape or form, and me..well u know lol... My hair was brown/darkish brown w/black roots and a few light brown leftover highlights...and I don't think it did anything at all to my hair! It does look slightly, slightly darker but I guess i was expecting it to be nearly all black.  Has anyone ever tried this henna?  It's supposed to be all natural and organic and made specifically for  hair.  When we mixed it with the hot water, it was lumpy and bumpy so we added an egg and some olive oil to make it creamier, but it still looked the same.  And it was very difficult to apply, it would just clump up on the hair and fall out.  There was black stuff EVERYWHERE...on the floor and all over me and it was just horrible.  Did we do something wrong? Please help!

Well, according to the instructions, egg and olive oil can be added if your hair is dry and also because it helps with the application and rinsing processes.  But thanks!

I just anwered this question in another thread.
Indigo only stains the first 15 min.Also you need cold water.
I did like you the first time....After darkening with Indigo I do a henna application the next day.

Wow, Mellie, what a difference.  I love how shiney your hair is in the 2nd photo!
