Angela, a couple of questions. Did you henna before the indigo? If
so, did you use anything acidic with the henna? Did it have any
reaction with the egg?

: Hi all,
: I have been researching Indigo because I have been wanting a
reliable
: and safe dark hair dye. As opposed to Henna, which works best in
an
: acidic mixture, Indigo works better in a more base mixture. In my
: last mix I used boiling water with my indigo to make a very thick
: paste. Let that cool down. Then add enough egg whites to make it
: workable. I left mine in for 2 hours. This works great; the egg
: whites make the indigo easy to rinse out and give the hair a lot of
: shine. And with the ph of about 8 egg white is on the high (more
: base) side of the spectrum. This works really well for me. Hope it
: helps
