Ooh, I'm so glad you started a new thread! So funny I was going to
post one too "looking for more burgundy"! I've been collecting my
newly "orange" hair (lol, its really quite pretty), and I'm ready to
start messing around with the colour again...

I see in Fia's mixes section that she recommends grape juice for a
bluer red, and red wine for a chestnut brown. I got the grape juice
but I am skeptical because its actually a lighter purple than the red
wine I used. I'd be curious to try beetroot, but where to find
beetroot powder I dunno.

I take inspiration from Elektra's mix; I love the colour, especially
since she says she started with a dark blonde which gives hope for
those of us starting with a lighter colour. I essentially copied her
mix when I did mine however realistically I have to deal with the
fact that I was starting out already red AND I think the big
difference has to be that she uses an indigo mix in with the henna.
Now I have to confess to not having been paying attention in class
when it comes to indigo!! So its back to the drawing board for me.

I have a sneaky confession to make --- since we have a kind of
religious theme going here, seems appropriate -- I have even been
toying with the idea of...using a commercial henna mix that
says "burgundy" on the box...I KNOW!!! what am I saying?
I like my new hair, but I really was not cut out to be an orangey
redhead, the rest of my colouring is too "cool". So I'm off in search
of burgundy!
