Gee, I must have really stubborn hair, because I've fiddled with
cloves, coffee, indigo, grape juice - nada difference! I'm happy
with my pure henna colour, but, the urge to experiment is hard to
resist at times, y'know...
Coffee made my hair smell gawd-aweful each and every time it got wet
for weeks...
Cloves smelled nice for the first 20 mins, then I felt like I was
trapped in the witch's gingerbread house from Hansel&Gretel...
Grape juice concentrate, no added water, for the liquid in my henna
mud - smelled weird, but not overbearing and definitely sticky...
Indigo made the whole slop gritty and sat ON my hair, not absorbing
in gradually like henna mud usually does and it was a !!@&*!&?!! to
rinse out - all to no avail, no difference. (I know, I know...next
time I will do it separately, but I highly doubt I will turn out as
radiant as the Fabulous Gwyn anyway...)
ALSO, not in the add-ins category, but still in the experimentation
vein... I tried a strand test in 20-volume peroxide for 6 hours
(oops, forgot about it...) and got a teeny-tiny, barely noticeable
lightening. I guess I should be thankful nothing melted or exploded,
but still...

: Well, the morning after........
: Definitely some orange going on here. Weird thing was, I went to
the
: bathroom, didn't turn the overhead light on...had plenty of
natural

: and it looked more reasonable LOL I'm still thinking it's going
to

it

: So morning after thoughts..a tad shocked but confident all will be
: well.
: I've already started thinking about my next henna attempt I truly

: For those of you using coffee in your mixes...what's that adding
to

the

: I still plan to do some playing w/the blueberry mix..I'm all
curious
: now ya know.

: Oh and a quick question...for a while after I hennaed..my scalp
was

is
: fine today. But I was about to go crazy yesterday while
rinsing..I
