I used henna and indigo for hair color. But my roots are still grey. And hair is getting thinner on top. And I get headache after using it.
So what are the suggestions. What should I do.

Hi Dipti,
You must be allergic to Indigo. Indigo contains an ingredient which might trigger a migraine or cause headache in few people.
Try Sage oil for increasing thickness of hair and volume too. Apply it 1 hour before washing your hair. I also had an allergic reaction from Indigo. Sage oil really helped me in regaining hair volume. Ask your hair professional regarding hair color.
