Many thanks for getting back to me. I have tried black walnut hull
powder with henna mix but it didn't do anything. May be it is the
way I brewed it, I added boiling water to it and left it alone for 5 -
6 days. It didn't wrok. Do you know the right way to brew it?

I have also tried coffee (although instant) as well as black tea.
Nothing happened again. How do you go about it yourself? I'd
appreciate your advice (and anyone else out there who may also have
tried same).

Thanks.
