: wondering though if you can do a coffee/henna mix that is not
: even like a 50/50 mix, say for instance a 20/80 henna/coffee mix,
: would that create a more brown look? Sorry if all my questions
: sound silly, but I really have no idea about dyeing hair.

I have no idea about dyeing hair either! Anything and everything I
know I learned here, and from doing my own hair with body quality
henna...

By all accounts, coffee, though reputed to add browner tones, doesn't
make that much difference, really. People complain about the coffee
smell lingering in their hair for weeks and of the caffeine buzz they
get when they have the coffee mixed henna on their heads! I did do
some test runs with coffee and I must say it gave me the darkest
colour I managed to achieve with all experimental mixes, but dark RED!
I think once there is good quality henna in the mix you're gonna get
red...

Black walnut powder supposedly works, though I never tried it; but
best of all is an indigo mix. Kim A got a lovely chestnut brown with
indigo + henna, check her out again.

I think the only thing to do is maybe get some samples from Catherine
and do some tests. Its good fun and quickly becomes addictive (never
actually hoped my hair would fall out before, LOL).
