Hey Tara!
Well, I haven't got a clue about blueberries, but I wanted to talk to
you, lol.
How is the hair a few days later? Are you liking it? How does the
family like it? You are talking about the next mix so I'm wondering
if that means you're not overjoyed...
I just posted in Kim (from MI)'s thread about the guinea pig. I'm
starting to give up on getting henna to go towards blue. I've been
doing a load of strand tests the last week (I had been saving
henna'ed hair for over a month since I last did it)and mixes with
indigo, mixes from Logona in "shades" and no less than 3 different
types of body art henna from Henna Spirit and my usual wine/clove mix
and its almost comical how they're all coming out pretty much the
same: ORANGEY RED. hee hee. Oh well. I guess I had to get it out of
my system and truly convince myself of what everyone here has been
saying: you get some form of orangey red. LOL. Stubborn git that I am.
On the subject of blueberries, they are outrageously expensive here
so I wouldn't just buy them to experiment, but I would just stew them
in a small amount of water like I would do with fresh cranberries to
make a sauce. You should get a very concentrated juice (although
quantity may be small I don't see why you should need to try any
dubious additives. Of course lemon juice is good with cooking most
fruits and we all know lemon juice is our friend, so maybe throw some
in?!
Oh and btw, don't know how I missed it before, but just visited your
site! Only browsed so far but do you do international deliveries?
Everything looks so yummy!
