: Thanks Elektra, but do you get a really red effect with the real stuff
: or can you tone it down? I just don't want carrots again!

not sure what you mean, sorry. i use henna first, then indigo, and
this gives me red brown on the greys (completely covered) and very
dark brown on the non-greys. all in all, a much warmer and natural
colour than i got with the LM stuff (which turned out
ash-blue-brownish and vanished rather quickly). using good henna plus
indigo afterwards seems to be the best way to cover my greys and avoid
bozo orange.

using good henna alone with red wine, clove and maybe a bit of indigo
in one step doesnt give me a carrot look either, but then, i'm not
completely grey yet. the greys do get lighter, but indigo helps to
turn the orange down, i think.

unfortunately, i never got "real, intense strawberry red" with good
henna for my grey hairs in one go - just with henna which had nastly
chemicals added (picramat).
