Raw honey for henna/indigo hair?
So for a bit of background, I’ve been looking into henna and indigo dyes for a little bit now, my hair is mid/dark brown, thick and fine, and wavy/curly. I have some greys starting to show which I want to cover. My hair reacts badly to bleach and chemical dyes so I don’t want to use them, and I love the fact henna/indigo is a completely natural dye!
I’ve bought a pack of 100g henna powder and 100g indigo powder from Pure Organics, and I’ve already mixed 50g of henna with diluted lemon juice and am leaving it to release the dye. I then plan on making 100g of the indigo dye tonight and using the mixed approach to get a dark brown colour (I’d quite like it to be a darker brown than my natural shade as I think it suits me!).
I’ve been researching more today, and made myself a little nervous that the henna/indigo will be too drying and impact my curl pattern (especially the indigo!) If I’d have known I would have ordered some amla powder too, but it’s too late.
Does anyone have any tips/experience for things I can add to make it more nourishing? I have some natural local raw honey, and am happy to buy anything you can get from a supermarket. Google has told me honey can work and bring moisture into the hair, also Greek yoghurt, oils? Or shall I just use the henna/indigo and hydrate my hair afterwards?
