For black hair that has gone grey, use henna in combination with sesame (gingelly or til) oil and curry leaves. Boil some sesame oil, add a few curry leaves and keep this liquid in a tightly closed container. Anytime you want to colour your hair, add some henna into this extract and boil for a few minutes. Cool the mixture and apply it on your hair, wait for three to four hours and then wash your hair using shikakai. Also Read - Keratin treatment: An expert answers common FAQs

Some people also use castor oil with henna instead of sesame oil and leave out the curry leaves. Just boil henna with castor oil in an iron pan and set aside until the oil turns black in colour. Then apply it to your hair and leave it on for three to four hours and wash with shikakai.

Burgundy

If you are looking for a burgundy shade, cut and grind a beetroot and mix this juice into henna to make a paste. Apply this on your hair and leave it on for at least an hour. Wash your hair after this and your hair is coloured in a natural way. 

Brown or red

Henna alone gives a copper-red colour and indigo (neel) gives a blue colour; by combining henna with indigo in different proportions, you can get varying shades of brown. If you want a reddish tinge, keep henna levels high and if you like browner shade, include more of indigo.
