: . Guesstimate on how
: much (for the actual henna-ing, not the test so much)??

Do you know something, I'm not sure. I didn't measure really but
tried to work with proportions so I would know how to mix a much
larger batch. I used roughly 3 teaspoons of henna, a half teaspoon of
cloves and as much red wine as was necessary to get the consistency I
wanted. So I suppose if I were to duplicate it in an actual mix, I
would need roughly 100g henna (for my hair length) roughly 15g clove
powder, something like that? I guess you'll have to just experiment
with the test batch and keep track of what you use.

I know Electra's mix on mixes page comes closest to mine minus the
indigo she adds...I can't remember how much she used, check it out.

oh also, I have no idea how much wine goes for in the states, but I
used a very cheap chilean merlot (that didn't taste so bad either,
hee hee Might as well enjoy a glass while your hair is doing!
