: : : . Guesstimate on how
: : : much (for the actual henna-ing, not the test so much)??
: : : :
: : :
: : Do you know something, I'm not sure. I didn't measure really but
: : tried to work with proportions so I would know how to mix a much
: : larger batch. I used roughly 3 teaspoons of henna, a half
teaspoon

I

: clove
: : powder, something like that? I guess you'll have to just
: experiment
: : with the test batch and keep track of what you use.

the
: : indigo she adds...I can't remember how much she used, check it
out.

: : oh also, I have no idea how much wine goes for in the states, but
: I
: : used a very cheap chilean merlot (that didn't taste so bad
either,
: : hee hee Might as well enjoy a glass while your hair is doing!

: have a nursling ;) Anywhooo...
: Thanks for your closest guesstimate there. I'll take another gander

: remember either, just remember I liked her hair ;)

: TY

LOL, I have a nursling too, and she doesn't mind the odd glass, hee
hee. I always hope it might help her sleep better (she is not a
sleeper) but no such luck, has no discernable effect at all in fact!
Like you, one glass is my limit, but after abstaining totally during
pregnancy seems marvelous to have that one!
I got worried at first as I was reading your post that I'd just
suggested having a glass of wine to a 14 year old girl! Yikes. Gotta
watch what I say! Keep us updated.
