Anyone use ayervedic to darken their hair?

[DDTexlaxed]

I read somewhere that you can use alma powder to darken your hair. I'd like to try this instead of henna & indigo. Has anyone tried this with success and what recipes did you use? I intend to start my ayervedic (sp?) regimen soon to make more healthy hair choices for my hair. I hope I can tweak more hair growth in the winter. It is my slowest growth months. I'd appreciate any recipes you have!

Sorry I really hope someone chimes in with a recipe...I tried to use it on my mom's grays after I used henna, all the indigo did was turn her grays a deep auburn....she was not a happy camper lol.

Bumping...

Amla is claimed to help naturally darken hair, so maybe you can make a paste from amla powder and maybe use amla oil also and see how that goes.

I have used the Amla powder, but have not noticed any darkening yet. .. hope it makes it stronger though.

Also check out Bhrami and Bhringaraj. One of those also has darkening properties. HTH!
