I use NUPUR for the strengthening of my hair and for the coloring. Its beautiful on my greys. I have been hennaing for so long that I really think I've reached my "saturation" level. I am not getting any darker color with the henna, since it has reached its darkest level. My greys are a beautiful auburnish/brownish/burgandyish color. Of course you really can't see it indoors, but in the bright sunlight its GORGEOUS. Folks ask me if I color my hair and I always say no...but I forget that henna gives color to. I'm only thinking about boxed colors...LOL!!
With the other ayurvedic powders and plants in the NUPUR brand henna, I get really strong hair. Henna reduces my shedding dramatically. My hair tends to have a healthier, shinier lustre even before I seal with oils. The benefits of this product are just so much. I will never give up NUPUR.
My current recipe is simple:
Henna
Amla oil
Coffee
AO white cameillia condish
Mix - Slap it in - go to bed!
Next morning, rinse, proceed with extrememly moisutrizing DC.
THATS IT...once per month.
Hope this helps.
