In my 2nd mix I used beetroot powder and a *little* indigo (I think). It made the mix a
lovely color, and the drips that escaped from the plastic wrap were a gorgeous purple
color. BUT as far as changing the color of my hair, it didn't seem much different from
my non-beet color at all ...

I had much more success getting a "cool" color by upping the indigo.

Just my experience! Kim

: for burgundy henna? I used it many many years ago when I was younger

: thinking of try it again to see if I can get my highlights a more
