It is especially during or after an indigo that it would be interesting. It is either incorporated into indigo coloring (Egyptian henna+indigo+sidr+olive oil), or used as a mask or shampoo.

In shampoo:

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of SIDR
Water about 50 ml (until you get the desired texture)
Method :

Mix the sidr and the water until you obtain a fairly sticky homogeneous paste.
Apply to wet hair and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. A small clarification, the mixture you prepare must be liquid like a shampoo, do not put tons. The Sidr contains saponin, so it has cleansing properties, manage to "lather", "wash" your hair. Of course, don't expect it to lather up like supermarket shampoos!
Rinse carefully, and rinse well, passing your hand well through the hair otherwise you risk having sticky hair. In addition, if there is product left over, the hair takes longer to dry!
Let your hair dry.

Results:

Shiny and healthy hair. The sidr prevents the indigo from disgorging. Then, I can't say if it prevents the disgorgement of other hennas, because for me in my shower, the greenish aspect of the sidr when rinsing probably hid the Sidr. In any case, if you know how to use it well, I find that it gives thickness to the hair and redraws the curls!
