: You should be fine adding cassia to your mix. I've added it to a lot

: : : Hannah, that isn't in the instructions per se. I got the idea

: : : this page and from posts by Kim in MI. I think that she is on
: : : the "Mixes" page though. You may or may not get the darker look

: : : applying the indigo a week after henna. Just try it and see. I

: : : my Walnut powder from Amy on Castle Art on the Suppliers page

: : : It was only $7.00 for something like a lb. or so (can't remember
: : : though). You only use a little at a time mixed with the henna
: : : after you see a light dye release from the henna first. She sent
: : : those instructions with the Walnut powder. If you are allergic
: to
: : : nuts of any kind, don't use walnut powder though, as you would be
: : : allergic to it as well.

: : My worry was that walnut and indigo would give too dark a result.
: I really don't want dark,
: : I'm too fair--especially brows and lashes--just want to take
: the "edge" off the red.
: : I'mbeginning to get a little discouraged reading back a bit--so
: many people have similar

: henna I used, even with
: : the turmeric in it, and add say 25 g of indigo. What do you think
: about using cassia in the
: : mix? I don't think I found anyone who'd used all three--that (in
: my mind at least)seems
: : like an option but I don't know if it would work or if they
: conflict with each other. Oh well,
: : I can always get that haircut. The thing that bothers me about
: that is getting flack from a
: : stylist because I didn't get a chemical dye at the salon and did it
: myself.

Thanks Jane--I'm going to try mixing cassia with both henna and indigo.
