Seeking how to's & Tips: Ayurvedic and Henna Powder

[Anna9764]

I'm gonna start with Jamila henna, which is clear until I find a color thats close to my own (dark brown). I also want to try the Amla, Shikakai powders as well. Do I have to activate the henna? Should I make up the mixture the night before? How often should I use them? I know my hair should be thoroughly oiled before appling. I'm taking time to educate myself some first, though i'm sure I will love the products and the results (lots of positive feedback). Any how to's and tips will be truely be appeciated

Sincerly Anna

The website where I purchased says that it is Clear, Maybe Jamila also has Clear.

I stand corrected JLove, double checked and yes, it's not the one that is clear. I have ordered 2 of the wrong kinds. But thats why i'm asking, seeking help. Trying to learn all I can before using

.
Thank you

where did you order it from? Do you have a link? Jamila is a brand of henna, henna in and of itself will give a redish coloring. Cassia Obavato is colorless or clear as some people say.
