Hi Everyone,
This is my first time posting, but I want to send out a big thanks
to all. I've been checking here daily for 6 months. Did my first
henna last Sat. It was too orange compared to my old black chemical
dye, so henned roots only the next day, Sun. Oxidized well, but
still too orange, for me. So, on Tues. I used indigo only, now I
was getting closer, but not much darker, stayed on for 2 hours.
Well today is Sun. Can I indigo again this soon? Can I use the same
indigo batch that was left over? I stored the left overs in the
applicator bottle in the freezer. I'm thinking about giong for it
today. I don't know if it's o.k. to store and reuse mixed indigo.The
henna and indigo were both from Catherine, so I know the quality is
good. Thanks again for all the great help and info. Have a great
Halloween weekend. Nancy E.
