Hi everyone, I am expecting my first order soon. I am trying to
acheive a brown shade with a little red. I plan on using:

100g of Henna
100g of Indigo

How much walnut powder to I use?
Using red wine instead of lemon juice - how much?
Ground coffee beans - How much?
black coffee - do I use the coffee grinds or the liquid?
Rosemary/Hibiscus/Black tea - how much?
Salt - how much?
sugar or honey? how much?
I will leave my Henna on for 4 hours.

Sorry about all the questions but I am as you can understand a bit
nervous. Do I add everything to the mix and then cover with plastic
wrap to wait for dye release?

The indigo I know I must prepare about 20 minutes before Henna
application and wait for dye release (which is I have read very fast
with Indigo). I hope I am right about this.

By the way my hair is 2 inches below bra strap and tends to be dry.
It is also chemically dyed for oh about 10 years now. Last chemcial
process was about 2 months ago. I am ready to treat my hair well and
help the women in family treat their hair better too.

Thanks for all your help in advance.
