Do you know of any 100% natural, chemical-free hair darkener?

I use henna (mehndi) powder, and Biotique's Bio Henna Leaf is a favourite. I love the coolness and the comforting aroma of henna, but I only get an orange tint, not the dark tone I am looking for. Besides, henna tends to make my hair very dry. I would appreciate the benefit of your experience.

If you use henna, then you may also want to try Indigo powder. You do have to make sure you don't just get black dye with PPD in it which can make people have an allergic reaction.

If its labeled as "black henna" it may also have PPD in it.

HOWEVER, all brands are not created equal! Some that are labeled "black henna" is all natual indigo and nothing else.

Definilty pay attention to the ingredient list anytime you're buying anything for your hair.

Using henna, then using indigo over it can help achieve dark browns to near black, depending on the color of your hair before using henna.

And real indigo when applied over henna, does provide not only conditioning but leaves hair nice and glossy too.

Just be sure you're really wanting to go that dark. it can be a little unpredictable at first, but subsequent applications will be plenty black.

Anything that is strong enough to actually alter the colour of your hair WILL have chemicals in. Even so called 'natural' brands have chemicals; just check on the packaging.

There are two things you could try, I think:

LUSH products advertises a brown henna; they claim it's a very good quality of henna and that it achieves a good vibrant dark colour. You could check out their website. You'll see there are still a few chemicals in there possibly, but it should be far, far less than conventional hair dyes.

The second thing: I've heard that rinsing your hair in coffee (I assume black coffee!) gives it a nice dark shine...

Never tried either of these myself, so can't guarantee them. Best of luck!

Well yes henna might leave that tint in your hair when used alone, so you will need to add either some amla powder to brown it up more or if you need something stronger use indigo powder. You can find these on ebay.com

As for the dryness sometimes this happens and what you need to do is add some deep conditioner to your henna paste and apply all of that onto your hair so you get that moisturization. Or even olive oil or amla oil.

I hope this helps !
