Oooo yes I like Elektra's color too...I think I'd like a touch more
plum to that..and Perfect!! But man oh man...I see my henna
endeavor rackin' up the $$ Geesh Did I mention I'm just po' folk??

: : She stole my color!
: : I was at church yesterday and one of the ladies came in wearing
my
: : desired color. Though, I highly doubt she achieved hers with
: henna.
: : I didn't get a chance to chat w/her about it...but..I HIGHLY
doubt
: : it came from henna. Maaaaaaan I told hubby "ok now I can't do
that
: : one, I'd be like a copy cat...no fair!" LOL So, uh, back to
the
: : mixing board ?? Need more plum!! Darker! More plum!! More
purple!!
: : More burgundy!
: : How might I get that on my dark brown hair? Suggestions? Even
: : possible?
: :
: : ~Tara~
:
: 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!
