You should be fine adding cassia to your mix. I've added it to a lot
of my mixes. And don't worry about what your stylist thinks. What
YOU think is all that really matters! I wish you the best.

: : Hannah, that isn't in the instructions per se. I got the idea
from
: : this page and from posts by Kim in MI. I think that she is on
: : the "Mixes" page though. You may or may not get the darker look
by
: : applying the indigo a week after henna. Just try it and see. I
got
: : my Walnut powder from Amy on Castle Art on the Suppliers page
here.
: : It was only $7.00 for something like a lb. or so (can't remember
: : though). You only use a little at a time mixed with the henna
: : after you see a light dye release from the henna first. She sent
: : those instructions with the Walnut powder. If you are allergic
to
: : nuts of any kind, don't use walnut powder though, as you would be
: : allergic to it as well.

: My worry was that walnut and indigo would give too dark a result.
I really don't want dark,
: I'm too fair--especially brows and lashes--just want to take
the "edge" off the red.
: I'mbeginning to get a little discouraged reading back a bit--so
many people have similar
: problems and concerns. I'm wondering if I can thaw the left over
henna I used, even with
: the turmeric in it, and add say 25 g of indigo. What do you think
about using cassia in the
: mix? I don't think I found anyone who'd used all three--that (in
my mind at least)seems
: like an option but I don't know if it would work or if they
conflict with each other. Oh well,
: I can always get that haircut. The thing that bothers me about
that is getting flack from a
: stylist because I didn't get a chemical dye at the salon and did it
myself.
