First, I'll let the next few days run their course and see what
colors I end up with....then decide whether to do it again next
weekend....

If I do it again then, I guess I'll use the same mix, since I have
about half of it left. I froze the rest of the mix, the rest of the
plain henna, and the indigo. Guess I should toss that
indigo...somehow I didn't realize I shouldn't mix it all at once.
Bummer.

I used cloves in the mix, but probably not enough to make a real
difference in color or smell. I'm wondering now if that's what made
my scalp burn for a while after washing everything out....hmmmm.

Since I want my color to ultimately be dark brown/auburn, should I
still consider doing a straight indigo? I thought indigo alone
would turn my hair black? I definitely can't pull off jet
black...tried it once. (yikes!)

Thanks for the help!
