Good deal... so all I have to do is make sure I rinse my hair with
vinegar and add salt to the indigo/water solution. I'm really
excited, I'm going to try it out this weekend. Thank you so much, I
truly appreciate it!!

: : I use vinegar as a rinse before I do any color to roughen up the
: : hair's mantle-(open the 'pores').
: I don't get this - vinegar is supposed to close the cuticle, not
open it?
:
: : From what I understand, henna is better if used with an acid ph
and
: : indigo is better with an alkaline ph.
: yes, I think the reason henna may take better on vinegar-rinsed hair
: will have to do something with this. not with opening the cuticle.
