Hi Everyone,Happy New Year.
I have been playing with amla for the last 3 months.
I mix it with henna/indigo/black walnut.
I've had the best dye release by mixing the batch of amla 12 hours
before using. I mix it like henna. Then mix with my other stuff.
It oxidized like henna, dark layer on top.
I've been able to keep my light brown (20% white)hair, black.
It matches my old black chemical dye.
