Many thanks to all, this is exactly the type of feedback that may have
saved me from being very disappointed!

I shall henna first and add indigo directly afterwards. I'll try to
post back as well :-)


: Hello all,
:
: Please let me know what you think of the following directions. It's a
: sort of combination of several different people's experiences posted
: on this site. I plan to do this tomorrow or the day after, unless
: anybody tells me STOP. :-)
:
: 50 g henna
: 50 g indigo
: 500 mL liquid (half lemon juice)
: powdered cloves (unsure)
: powdered pectin (3 sample quantity)
:
: Boil and slightly cool 2/3 liquid, mix with henna, wait for dye
: release (overnight)
:
: Strain
:
: Mix indigo with hot water, wait 30 min for dye release
:
: Boil rest of liquid, add pectin, boil hard for 1 minute, mix into
: henna, add cloves (?), add indigo, let stand 20 min
:
: Put into carrot bag, apply, wait as long as possible, rinse.
:
: I'm going for a black-purplish hue, or as close as I can get. I have
: black-brown hair with some lighter streaks I'm trying to cover with
: the indigo.
:
: Any thoughts?
