last night i experimented with some leftover henna (stored in the
fridge though) and threw in about 60% of the herbal indigo henna. my
impression: mixing henna with more than 40% indigo/herbal indigo henna
is bad for covering greys, because for that you'd need the full power
of good henna, indigo might be to weak. the colour is ok, rather
beautiful on the rest, but not not very good on the greys. it was a
last-minute dyeing, mainly to cover the greys _now_. their not grey
anymore, but light brownish w/blonde. not bad, but not what i am (used
to as a result and) looking for. i'm looking forward to using
catherines henna next time, but i won't be using more than 40% indigo
again then, i think, not in a 1-step-process..
