Hi

I am one who just went for it and did henna and indigo.

It’s been a long while since I posted because my scalp hurt after
doing it (a little burning and itching). Couple of months went buy I
tried it again (my second henna about a week ago) and changing my
original mix. I'm Debbie B on the mixes. I did it this time about 60%
indigo 40% henna, a little cherry juice, a couple of drops tea tree,
and lavender, rain and spring water. Left it in about 5 hours this
time. I achieved a little darker this time with reddish color, really
want burgundy. My original is med to dark brown. I am reading now
about mixing up indigo and using it within a half hour if I got that
right but what I did was made them both up separately at the same
time, put them in a warm bath and they both release there dyes maybe
about four hours later. (I purchase the great stuff here). I think
and I’m not sure if was the indigo ok to use after that long I hope
someone can let me know. I have a little irritation but not like the
first time.

I would like to use almost all indigo and very little henna next time
to see about making it even darker but it will be a couple of months.

HTH
Debbie
