I have never done a rhubarb mix, but if I were I would throw it into
a henna mix, as any additive, or do a separate gel mix of just
rhubarb. (See Fia's Gel Mix on the Mixes page for gel
instructions.) I do gel mixes with various plant dyes, with and
without henna, all the time and they work really well. Basically I
just steep the dye material in warm-hot water, take out the bags of
whatever you are using (or you can strain instead of using paper tea
bags), add some citrus, add the pectin and mix until dissolved, then
cool until it gels.

: Thanx! But does anyone know how to apply it? Do I dye w/ henna +
: indigo and then dye the rubarb over the henna + indigo? Any idea
of
: how much to use? My hair is thick and about 3-4 " past my
: shoulders. (This is definitly going to require posting picks after
: this!)
