Hey! Thanks to everybody for their advice.
I've done it the two-step way... as long as I can stand... and
actually done it over again several times on top of that, and the
indigo just leaves a light muddy stain over the orange. *sigh...*
I believe what you're saying about manic panic's warnings... but if
we have someone who's already trying it and it's working ok (Mrs. B.)
then what's the harm in doing a strand test?
I'll let you folks know how it turns out. Perhaps there is hope after
all for us emergency cases. :)
