Another Karishma Herbal Henna User...Best Henna I've Ever Used

BeautifulFlower · Nov 3, 2008

If you are looking for a henna that adds color and washes clean without the gritty remains it often leaves behind try Karishma Herbal Henna.

I added 2 eggs, conditioner, water, and lemon juice to mine. I needed to tighten up my line of demarcation for this stretch Im trying to do.

I have tried Jamila and something other one I cant remember. Karishma is the best. I found it at the indian grocery store in Rockville, MD. This brand is hard to find.

As stated before, its said that you shouldnt use non-BAQ henna but the herbal mixture of this one is incredible. You notice a difference when you're washing it out. You hair is much softer and new growth is looser, of course given you dont use shampoo to wash it out.

Anyway, just wanted to share another Karishma Herbal Henna success story.

KARISHMA HERBAL HENNA

Contains Pure Henna, Amla, Shikakai, ARITHA,BHRINGRAJ and selected
Herbs as described in Century old Indean Vedas. Regular use of
Karishma Herbal Henna, Darkens Hair, acts as natural Hair
Conditioner, Controls Dandruff & prevents Hair loss. Due to natural
cooling effect of the herbs used it improves eyesight and gives sound
sleep.

ETA: I just mix the henna, water, and conditioner now. Thats all you need. It works great!

Wanted to bump this, because I have been using this and it really is great. I had purchased 3 packets last year but did my last henna of the year in Feb 2008.

My hair started taking a turn for the worse in November or so. So I decided to go back to henna treatments and this brand really us great.

It is well sifted and the mixture turns out smooth and easy to rinse.

I am using it with a few ounces of distilled water, Fage full fat yogurt (the one with the honey with it), almond oil, and some amla powder from Henna Sooq (love her amla). One treatment I put some liquid marine collagen in there.

I had started using Jamila Henna last year and something about it just isn't right. It is like my hair was dry or something. I don't know I don't care for it even after all the raves.

Anyway, I just want to co-sign on this post and bump it.

It came up in a google search when I was looking for Karishma to buy online.

Thank you. Somebody on here trying to tell me I didn't know what I was talking about concerning the drying effect of henna :look:

. Jamila brand is great for mehendi application but for the hair, relaxed hair, awful, IMHO. I had to stop using it. I might test a little area with Karishma, if I can find it. I don't like Mumtaz brand either. They say the absolute best is Yemenite followed by Moroccan, but they are hard to find. I'll try what you recommended.

I love this henna brand. This is now my absolute favorite brand thanks to PrettyfaceANB.

It was so cheap too. I only paid 1.99 for about 250 grams. I mixed it with warm black tea. I don't understand it but it released a dye without me letting it sit overnight. What in the world is up with that?

Also, it glided on like conditioner. It felt so good on my hair. It rinsed out very easily-- much easily than any other henna that I've ever used (I have used Mumtaz, Jamila, and two other brands).

HoneyDew · Apr 10, 2009

good stuff!

I still use this and love it.

I have not been able to find it locally anymore but Ruchita Ayurveda had the hook up. About $1 over priced, but it is all good. I love the stuff and one bag last a long time for me.

I am confused about your post. You want to add water, evoo, honey and vo5 conditioner to regular henna or Karishma Henna?

You can just add water to the Karishma henna, or any henna for that matter. Just follow the directions on the back of the bag. I really like the color that it gave my hair.

Honestly, I think karishma is best with just some water and oil.

Other henna brands I have used still need some amla powder or other things.

Karishma is really good in a simple mix without conditioner. I have added plain full fat yogurt, but it takes away the full thickening effect of henna, in my opinion. So I use yogurt only when I am doing back to back henna treatments weekly or by weekly.

But when I do them every month or so, Karishma, water, and oil. :yep:

chebaby · Apr 10, 2009

thank you ladies. i will try that.

AtlantaJJ · Apr 10, 2009

I have seen this at my Indian grocer. I'll have to pick some up and try it.

I was surprised at how well Godrej Nupur Mehendi worked for me my last henna, and it is so inexpensive!!! It is mixed with Alma, Brahmi, and Bhringraj. It comes in the small 25 gram package and the large 300 gram package. I like that its packed in a foil type wraper as well.

Godrej Nupur Mehendi is the best quality henna from the land of henna cultivators, Rajasthan. The extreme temperature in Rajasthan with scanty rainfall makes the land unsuitable for regular farming. But the farmers have efficiently converted the disadvantages into a boon with the cultivation of henna. Henna farming has the advantage that it needs no irrigation or plowing & it flourishes in such climatic conditions. Henna survives in drought conditions where other crops would fail. About 90% of Rajasthan’s commercial henna production is in Sojat & Pali regions.

In Sojat, the best henna harvests are at the end of the dry season, as the clouds gather and the monsoon begins, when dye levels peak from heat & drought & new dye-intense growth bursts forth. This natural dye in Henna is Lawsone (Colouring matter).

Godrej is a brand known to give best Quality products & Nupur Mehendi is no exception. There are several varieties of henna produced in Sojat itself, with different % of Lawsone (Colouring matter). Nupur Mehendi is a specially selected variety which contains maximum % of Lawsone (Colouring matter) and a good amount of Polysaccharides (Conditioning). This gives very good colour intensity on hands & hair.

Keeping in mind to deliver best quality to the consumers, the processing of henna powder (which includes Plucking, Cleaning, Drying, Crushing & Packaging) is done under stringent conditions & extreme care to prevent any deterioration. This ensures pure, natural henna powder without any impurities.

Better quality of henna not only give better colour but also better conditioning to the Hair.

How long did you leave it in? And did you sit under a dryer?

I usually use LUSH's henna but have been wanting to try a real henna for awhile.

BeautifulFlower · Apr 10, 2009

About 45 minutes

Or you can just do no heat for a couple hours: watch tv, cook, clean, whatever.....

BeautifulFlower · Apr 10, 2009

Thats what am talking about. Its the best!
I just mix water and conditioner with my Karishma. I dont need all the other stuff anymore. Its so great.

Thanks! At least it's the weekend which will give me plenty of time to scour Los Angeles for it. (I'm such a compulsive PJ)

prettywhitty · Apr 11, 2009

I just bought this when I purchased some Alma and Vatika oil. I will definitely try this next weekend.

simcha · Apr 11, 2009

simcha · Apr 11, 2009

BeautifulFlower · Apr 11, 2009

Ruchita seems to be the only US vendor that I can find.

I used to see it so much more online when I first started using it about a year and a half ago.

Not sure why I don't see it as much now.

But, Ruchita got it. make sure yall use the lhcf
discount to get the 10% off.

infojunkie · Apr 11, 2009

Don't know if this is a U.S. company or not but ya'll have me interested, too. I figured I better find an alternative site to order from cause if we all crash Ruchita she's gonna run out PDQ.
