FOR DARK HAIR
To get dark brown colored hair, Soak a mixture of Henna powder and Indian Gooseberry powder ( Amla) overnight in a metal container.
The thick mixture may be applied to the hair strands with a brush.
Cover with a plastic cap and leave on for at least 2 hours.
Wash with soft water to find dark brown, soft and silky hair.
This natural color will stay on for at least a month and will protect the hair.

The ratio of the Indian Gooseberry powder and henna will determine the degree of the color. More the berry powder, darker the hair.
