Can you mix the indigo with the henna or do you have to do a two step process?

If you mix them together, you get various shades of brown depending on your proportions. If you want black you have to do the two-step with 100% of each.
According to Hennasooq, if you mix 50% henna and 50% indigo together, you will get a rich brown tone. The more indigo you add, the darker the brown tone

Is it best to henna on clean or dirty hair? I brought some karishma henna from ayurnaturalbeauty.com. I'm going to mix it with avj and olive oil...maybe some conditioner. I haven't decided on the conditioner part yet.

Rozlewis Me too! 
well, now that I've got some hibiscus powder I might be experimenting every 7-10 days for a month.
I prefer to henna on clean, preferably clarified, hair. I feel like I get the best dye deposit on clean hair, and I also feel like there's no barrier of other product (or sweat/dust/etc) between my hair and the henna.
I also find it's easier to stay tangle free with clean, detangled hair. And I like to henna on freshly washed, damp hair for the ease of application.
HTH!

CaramelLites I've used that henna before. It is BAQ with additional herbs added in. I bought several packets from ayurnaturalbeauty.com
Also, I clarify my hair before every henna application. I clarify with a bentonite or rhassoul clay mixture. The combination of clarifying before applying henna makes for a perfect application and results!

CaramelLites, are the selected herbs listed on the packaging you received from ayurnaturalbeauty?

As much as I love henna, I may need to stop. It has loosened my curls in the back of my head. I can't deal with two different textures.
How I wished it would've loosened this crown area instead. My curls in the back are already a tad bit looser.
I think I may change the frequency that I henna from once a month to every two months.

I was afraid this would happen to me. To avoid this, after doing henna for a year, I would only henna my new growth. I am going into my third year and havve had no problems with my curl pattern. My curls are loosest in the back and sides

Another recommendation if you experience uneven loosening of curl is to henna longer/more often in the area with a tighter curl.
I haven't experienced any curl loosening but to minimize the possibility of that, I henna the first 4-6 inches of my hair from the roots 50% more than the rest of my hair.

I've heard using alma with the henna will tighten your curls up.

So the one place I got my henna from in Durham Region, Ontario stopped carrying pure henna and their henna is now mixed, any ladies in Durham Region/ GTA know where I can get some pure body art quality henna from? I'm also thinking of possibly trying lush henna but I'm not sure if I'll get the same thickness results from this... anybody know??

pinkpanther23. I know of two stores in the Etobicoke area where I buy BAQ henna. Here is a post with the info. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showpost.php?p=13995377&postcount=2

So my most recent henna mix was a little extravagant
I mixed my henna with a some chlorella and spirulina powder and fenugreek and some silk amino acids. I was feeling even more experimental that day
My hair came out like butter !! Especially considering the fact that henna is naturally drying. My hair was still very soft

pinkpanther23 IMO Lush henna is trash. Havent heard anything good about it. Either people get hard helmet hair or the color doesn't take or it does nothing. Mehandi.com has great hennas to order online if you dont have indian shops locally.

Thank you HanaKuroi and DarkJoy I didn't want to order online because I wanted to use it this weekenD and thanks hair4today but Etobicoke is a little out of the way for me.
Anyways I was getting desperate and I was about to purchase lusH despite the bad reviews bud luckily today after much googling I found a Persian market in Whitby that sold Jamila henna for 1.29 per box! Thank God I didn't waste the $25+ at LUSH. So if anyone is in Durham region looking for henna there's the Whitby Persian Food Market just off of Dundas (Highway 2).
