Relaxed and going Grey

[Lymegreen]

I have a full head of relaxed hair and started noticing over the past few weeks that my grey hair is multiplying faster than I can keep up!

I'll be 43 in January so "i think" I'm starting to go grey.

I use Jamilla henna about once a month for it's conditioning effect and noticed that the few five or six greys I used to have turned orange for a week or so then back to white.

My question is:
Are there any relaxed haired ladies that use indigo? I don't like the way the henna looks on my white hairs but I know as a relaxed head I have to be careful and only use body art quality. Can I mix indigo with my henna while still relaxing every 10-12 weeks?

TIA

Yes, You can definitely mix the Body Art Quality Henna with Indigo;.

Less Henna mixed with more Indigo = darker hair & better coverage.

Thanks so much for the reply!! I was so nervous about how to handle my grey. I'm glad I can keep things as normal but just add more indigo!!!

Thanks

Remember;

You need to mix the Indigo separately with Hot Water (not boiling)but hot.

Allow to sit 5 to 10 minutes and then fold that into your Henna Mixture. i.e. Hendigo

Unless you are doing a 2 Step Process. Henna first, then Indigo.

Then you would be applying separately.

Indigo cannot be stored after mixed. So make just what you need for that session.

And a pitch of Salt darkens the final results of your Color.

Thanks alot. I usually freeze my henna mixes so it's good to know not to mix extra indigo. You've been a lot of help.

You have to mix them separately.

And right, mixed Indigo cannot be stored and re-used.

I'm sure you'll be very pleased with the results.
