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! Had a friend inform me I could likely pick up a cheap bottle for about $5 ... I can do that. And even if it is only cheap stuff, I plan on having some. Wow..how adventuresome I will be, I've never drank wine before either LOL Will just be a smidge though, as I have a nursling ;) Anywhooo... Thanks for your closest guesstimate there. I'll take another gander at electra's hair info, see if she had any specifics, I don't remember either, just remember I liked her hair ;) TY ~Tara~
