: Well, how did it come out??! I just did no.6 on
Monday...experimented
: with adding some indigo, a-la Kim from MI, however was a bit too
: conservative (the 50/50 test blend I did left my sample a dark
brown
: which I didn't want) with the indigo, did about a 15-20% indigo to
: henna ratio, and am back to ORANGE as usual, hehe. Oh well, I do
like
: orange at this stage, but next time I'll go for more indigo.
:
: I learned about cloves way back -- not sure they actually affect
the
: colour, but I love the smell, it does mask the haystack for sure...

I'm definitely liking the cloves addition. Even if it didn't add
anything to the color. I do much enjoy the smell. In the
shower..oooo..just enough clove action going on to smell lovely.
The color itself looks the same as any other time. Even though I
used lemon juice as opposed to my usual vinegars and added the
cloves. It all blends in nicely.

I may one day experiment with some indi...certainly I will at some
point hehe I can't leave well enough alone ya know? ;)
