Check out the mixes section in the menu above - Gwynn's hair is done
with indigo and it's gorgeous.

: ok. i have black hair with so many greys..been using chemical
dyes
: eversince, and now my hair is thinning. i hate it! i finally
hennaed
: myself for the first time (using body art quality henna). and no
: doubt about the softness and shine it can give your hair. my only
: problem is im not that comfortable with red tones. i know henna
will
: always give u some red tones but id be really glad if it falls
more
: to dark red-but-more-brownish to dark brown to black. i used
brewed
: coffee with my mix..and still its too reddish for me. i waited for
: days (like what i learned ftom this site) to tone down the color.
: then hennaed again (since i also learned that itll be darker
: everytime you coat your hair). now its a bit dark red..my greys
are
: darkorange-reddish. i cant wait for them to blend in. i know that
im
: still on my "experimental" stage, so theres yet too much to do and
: observe. id probably henna again soon.
:
: well..why am i posting?...cuz im thinkin about using indigo.
sumwhere
: in this site, it was said that mixing indigo and henna in ur mix
: makes the the result more lasting, as opposed to putting indigo
over
: hennaed hair (where the indigo fades out quickly). any thoughts
about
: this? ..and if i put indigo in the mix, will i still see the dye
: release from henna??...do i have to make the henna mix first then
put
: the indigo later(since henna takes more time to release dye than
: indigo) and one more thing..now, my hair is dark dark red, and the
: greys are darkorange-red, if i use the indigo-henna mix..will it
even
: out the color immediately? or i still need to do it again and
again?
:
: id be really glad to hear from u guys. this site is so helpful. im
: just glad that i finally found the alternative to chemical
dyes..it
: really sucks!!.. i cant wait to achieve the color im looking for
and
: for my greys to blend in! guess theres still too much to learn!
: thanks! more power to henna!
