: Hello all,
:
: Please let me know what you think of the following directions.
It's a

: anybody tells me STOP. :-)
:
: 50 g henna
: 50 g indigo
: 500 mL liquid (half lemon juice)
: powdered cloves (unsure)
: powdered pectin (3 sample quantity)
:
: Boil and slightly cool 2/3 liquid, mix with henna, wait for dye
: release (overnight)
:
: Strain
:
: Mix indigo with hot water, wait 30 min for dye release
:
: Boil rest of liquid, add pectin, boil hard for 1 minute, mix into
: henna, add cloves (?), add indigo, let stand 20 min
:
: Put into carrot bag, apply, wait as long as possible, rinse.
:
: I'm going for a black-purplish hue, or as close as I can get. I
have
: black-brown hair with some lighter streaks I'm trying to cover with
: the indigo.

: Any thoughts?

My only thought is to let the pectin liquid cool some before you mix
it to the rest of the henna, or you risk cooking it.
