I am so glad I found your page!

I had been coloring my hair for years with the bad stuff, on top of that I got a really bad perm in October that totally fried my hair. Not only was it frizzy beyond belief but it felt like broom straw.

I found the page and the saw what others were using for mixes. I ordered [Ancient Sunrise] Henna and Indigo and some Amla. Here's what I used:

100 grams or Henna and a mildly acidic liquid mix with amla
50 grams of Indigo

I let the henna and amla sit overnight in a glass bowl covered. It was a great consistency and the color was rich. I had a girlfriend come over and help apply; it was pretty hard to work with. We got my hair pretty well covered. I wrapped my head in plastic wrap, then with a black silk head wrap on top of that and then I went to bed.

I woke in the morning and took a hot shower to get it out of my hair. I have to say, that was a challenge. I washed it (4) times and still couldn't get it all out. I ended up using a bottle of Olive Oil and saturated my hair with that, let it sit for 20 mins under the dryer. I then rinsed in the shower again, this time it was easier to remove. I highly recommend this to anyone who had the same experience.

After that, I got all the chunks out. I wrapped my head in a towel and let it sit for 1/2 hour. When I removed it, my hair was soft and shiny. I could tell the difference right away, before I couldn't even get my fingers through it. I was able to get a wide toothed comb through my hair. The permed curls seemed to loosen a bit, I can actually roll my hair and make it straight and it comes out nicely.
