Hi Kim,

your hair color does look beautiful. i also know what you mean by
your grays turning a more orange color. i henna and indigo my
mother's hair, and in our experience, the orange doesn't deepen on
gray or white hairs, it stays pretty much orange. so what i do is
indigo her hair after the it has been washed of the henna.

if you don't have a problem with grays turning too orange, but would
like a dark effect overall, adding indigo and terping the mix with
tea tree oil or any other terping oil, will make it go darker. try
mixes with different proportions of henna and indigo and certainly
do hair harvest tests to see how they turn out. i haven't
experimented with walnut powder yet, but please do give henna another
try! the health and conditioning benefits are well worth it.
