: Others on this forum are much more experienced that I am, but you
: might try indigo, black walnut and very little henna. Remember,
: henna always will give red, it is the added ingredients that give
the
: other colors. Also, better quality henna is supposed to give less
of
: an orange color, more of a deep red. You can also try using coffee
: and black tea instead of water in your mix. This has worked well
for
: me. If you use coffee, don't use instant or decaf and use day-old
: coffee. Make sure to check out the mixes and "what's in it" pages
on
: this website.
