: Thought indigo was blue? L (the one who had the reaction) has
: mousey-brown hair underneath the black dye (which was a bit too dark
: on her, to be honest), and K has dark brown hair which she had
: partially lightened and dyed scarlet, and recently dyed back to its
: original colour (only apparently it hasn't worked very well). What
: colour do you think they'd end up with if they used indigo?

i'm in a similar situation. i have dark brown hair, with some natural
red highlights, and i want to retain my natural color as much as
possible. i'm looking to henna to help condition and hopefully
strenghten my hair.

There have been some suggestions here, about using a combination of
indigo and henna together. Which i may try. i am also collecting a
sample that i will send to Catherine, and she will test it (but i
think she will test it with pure henna, not indigo).

There is a page on this site (link below) that shows the henna process
(*no* indigo), on Deborah's hair, her hair is nearly the same color as
mine, and there are "before" and "after" pics, so you can see the
color change after henna. Check it out, there is a *whole* lot of
information on this site! AND on the forum!

hope this helps :-)
