Hi Tara,

My sister has dark blonde hair naturally and successfully dies it a
brilliant shade of burgundy just by mixing a red henna with indigo. I
didn't think this was going to work at all but it actually does. Of
course you'll need to play around with the amounts of each to get it
right for your hair.

Cheers

: I'm deciding what to do for my next test once my samples arrive.
: (went ahead w/2 this time LOL)
: Hair is medium to dark (quite dark actually I just throw in
: the 'medium' since often dark brown is thought of as nearly black
: which that, it's not) brown. I'm wanting to richen the brown and
: get hints of burgundy. That's my "vision" anyway. So, after
scoping
: around at pics and recipes I've decided one of my attempts will be
: using red wine and cloves. Question...do I just use the wine to
get
: the paste then use water when I add more liquid to apply it? Or
: ought I use the wine for all liquid needed? KWIM? I know further
: dilution isn't necessary when performing a test but I'm thinking,
if
: this works to my liking, what would I actually end up doing...
:
: So, there, opinions? Other options for my "desired result"?
:
: Thank y'all so much
