The blue hair experiment is complete and I'm totally pleased with the
results. Tracey, were you this excited about having both henna and
OTHER colour in your hair?

I did do the blue on Sunday as planned, but I'd never used Manic
Panic before, and thought I should shampoo like you do with henna or
even some commerical dyes (and it didn't say in the directions).
Wrong idea, as most of the blue left immediately. I had the day off
from school today, though, so I sectioned out more hair (I decided
after the fact on Sunday I didn't have enough hair in the blue
anyway), and went through the bleaching/dying again. The results are
a lovely shade of light blue against my henna copper.

If you're thinking of adding another colour, Manic Panic is totally
the way to go--the closest thing to natural in a jar, and as safe as
you can get from commercial dye.

The ingedients list for the colour I used (Bad Boy Blue) are:
Water, Beeswax, Cetaryl alcohol, Cetareath 20, Mistletoe extract,
Hops extract, Achillea Millefolium extract, Anthemis Nobilis extract,
Acetic Acid, Methylparaben. The Ceta-stuffs are coconut derivatives
(from what I can find on them) used to help open the hair shaft for
the colour to go in. Achillea Millefolium is yarrow. Anthemis
Nobilis is a variety of chamomile. Methylparaben is a preservative
so the mix doesn't die on the shelf.
