I AM SO HAPPY you guys are loving Karishma. I knew it was a special blend because the results are ALWAYS so great and it washes out so clean. Oh happy day!
PrettyfaceANB, What would be a good combination using Karishma Henna for moisturizing/deep conditioning?
Honestly, I used to mix my henna with a bunch of stuff but now...
Water and conditioner for thickness is all you need and it gives the silkiest results. You're not weighing your hair down with a bunch of stuff. You dont need to add anymore powders because the blend is already perfect.
Agreed! prettyfaceANB how often do you use Karishma?
After every relaxer. I henna then indigo.
I may start doing it every month now to protect my aging ends.
Do you find that the strengthening effects last from treatment to treatment for you? I am trying to figure out how often I want to do this and keep the strong hair going.
So how would you work this into your reggie now if you decide to do this more often?Umm....it doesnt. Maybe 8weeks but I wash and co-wash quite a bit.

Does it say on the bag that it's BAQ?
HEY! Using Karishma or Reshma brand make the new growth gray not that nasty orange but a darker auburn. I always mix it with green tea (and add NO honey or oils) and let it sit for 8 hours before applying, then after I apply let it sit on my hair for 4 hours or so (no heat) under plastic cap and towel.
I used indigo a few times but that was over a year ago when I kept a 1/2 inch TWA. I really like the dark auburn color and prefer to not make it brown or black with the indigo.
So are you planning on using indigo as well every month? I want to use the henna at least once a month but I don't want the color to affect my indigo.
I'm already wanting to use it again. LOL! I found out that the local store here sells it (after putting in a bulk order on Ruchita Ayurveda's website ) Ah well. I was thinking once a month, but I think I may go with every 2-3 weeks now. I like the color and my grays don't look all orange and crazy.I just used the last of my Yemen henna from Mehandi.com. I just used it cuz I wanted to get rid of it. I'ma do a Karishma probably on Friday in a week. The color is unbeatable.
Thanks! The particular store I found, she had a freakin' TON of it. I don't see me running out any time soon. I just wish I had gone to her first before I ordered from Ruchita, because there are other powders Ruchita has, that she does not have.YES that's why I love it. No ORANGE grays. Orange is horrendous. But the Karishma color is SOOOO GOOD and rich. Also in case you evern can't find Karishma, Reshma is good too.
If you are looking for a henna that adds color and washes clean without the gritty remains it often leaves behind try Karishma Herbal Henna.
I added 2 eggs, conditioner, water, and lemon juice to mine. I needed to tighten up my line of demarcation for this stretch Im trying to do.
I have tried Jamila and something other one I cant remember. Karishma is the best. I found it at the indian grocery store in Rockville, MD. This brand is hard to find.
As stated before, its said that you shouldnt use non-BAQ henna but the herbal mixture of this one is incredible. You notice a difference when you're washing it out. You hair is much softer and new growth is looser, of course given you dont use shampoo to wash it out.
Anyway, just wanted to share another Karishma Herbal Henna success story.

What color do you get? Does it make your hair darker or does it add a reddish tint to it?
Those who buy it locally, how much is it?
Pretty, how do you use the Indigo? Meaning, how long do you leave it in your hair. Also, do you wash that out with conditioner too or shampoo?
