hello - I've hennaed 3 or 4 times using variations on the citrus
juice theme with cloves and cinnamon - mostly for scent. I currently
have a beautiful deep red, not yet dark auburn color - but the
problem is that it clashes with my skin tones! my natural hair color
(from what I remember) is a light-medium ash brown, I have green eyes
and pale skin, with pink and blue (cool) tones and although I do like
the red, it's left best to those people who can match it...however, I
refuse to go back to chemical dyes - any suggestions? I don't want
to use a full indigo mix, as I'm afraid that it would come out tooooo
dark brown or even black. do you think a henna/indigo mixture would
work? I cannot use coffee as it irritates my scalp. any help would
be very much appreciated.
