: Elektra's link on the "mixes" page is something to check out. She
: achieves a deep red with blackish streaks using a herbal henna/indigo
: mix. Beautiful!

thx for the compliments ;) i would like to add, though, that my black
streaks are not very big and striking ones, like they're fashionable
know. i seem to get the blacker "parts" on those places where my hair
is maybe a bit more stressed out(?) from binding it together and
stuff, so the colour might get more intense there and it's rather
accidentally, but i like it a lot.

however, i've never tried real indigo (but soon will, thx to
catherine!), that should even work better! i think it should be
possible to colour streaks if you do a full henna first, then indigo
some parts. i'd like to try this myself soon, and if it fails, check
out on the henna/indigo mixing proportions. as my hair is very grey on
top, i have to dye it every month, and i'm looking for a not too
complicated or messy solution and would rather dye it all in one go
than with a 2step-process. i'm a lazy grrl ;)

my experimental phase has just begun... and also, thx to this site,
i'm learning so much! thank you catherine, and all you lovely people here
