So are you liking the shade now? Things more in the realm of where
you were aiming? It looks totally different from your initial
hennaing. Very nice indeed

: I didn't notice any increase in brassiness over the weeks ... the
last two times I
: hennaed I used substantial indigo, close to half the previous time
and half indigo this
: time. I didn't want black, so I mix the henna the night before,
the indigo just before
: application (~20 minutes, with HOT water) and then when they're
both ready mix
: them together and apply.
:
: I got a dark cherry brown, I'd call it ... I'm pleased with it. I
started with brown hair,
: my first henna was VERY brassy orange, and it's been getting
deeper and "cooler"
: tones each time. I'm very pleased with this last time with the
50/50 - I don't know
: how much to attribute to the successive applications and how much
to attribute to
: the indigo added. What color are you starting with? My gray hairs
are still much
: brassier than the dark hairs, but they don't look carroty with my
new mix.
