Hey Curlies,

I am thinking of Hendigoing my hair with a mixture of Henna, Indigo and Amla (iv heard if you mix amla with henna and indigo - it gives a cooler brown colour rather than if you mix amla with henna - it doesnt affect the colour :o)

My hair is naturally a really dark brown.  But about 3 months ago I bleached the ends to give it an ombre effect.

The colour is starting to annoy me, as it can look a bit orangery in some lights :( Me no likey lol.  I also have about 10 grey hair - at 26 noooooo - but these can be hidden by moving my part slightly!

I know henna turns grey hair orange but im hoping the mix will stop this from happening.  Does anybody know what colour the bleached ends will go???  I have attached some piccies.

Thanks so much xx
