Wondering how I dyed my hair with henna without any hints of red? Read all about it here! I haven’t dyed my hair in over 10 years. I’ve actually just dyed it a couple of times ever, not including my high school adventures with Sun-In, of course . I’ve always liked my natural hair color just fine and been weary of all the chemicals in commercial dyes.
Well, over the last year, being a mom and running my own business has taken a toll on me in several ways, one being my hair!!! White hairs are popping out like crazy. I just can’t keep up with picking them out every morning anymore.
I wasn’t sure what to do, as henna is the most natural way to dye our hair, but I reallllly didn’t want any hints of red.
I jumped on the phone with the awesome team at Morrocco Method and explained my predicament and they said no worries, we have the perfect solution for you. It is not released yet, but we will send it to you to try!
The trick to minimize henna’s reddish tones and create darker, cooler colors, is using amla powder. Amla powder is also know and Indian gooseberry and it is a powerful plant commonly used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.
I’ve read that it can promote health and longevity. In this case, it promotes gorgeous, shiny, dark brown hair.I use it to remove the hints of red from my dark brown henna. You can also use it to reduce the red in light and medium brown henna.
