: : red! Hubby has very, very dark brown hair, not quite black, but
: : nearly, with quite a bit of gray. He wants to cover the gray, but
: : doesn't want jet black hair, and would like his gray to blend in
: well,
: : but does NOT want red (he's pretty clear on that part!!). I have
: zero
: : experience with indigo since I like my hair the brightest and
: reddest
: : hair I can get. He really wants to color it, and I think it will
: look
: : much better if he gets rid of the gray, but I'd really like to hear
: : from someone who has done this before trying it. his hair is REALLY
: : long, halfway down his back, THICK and all one length, oh yeah, and
: : VERY naturally curly. Can someone, ANYONE, give me some
: suggestions,
: : or point me to a posted mix that would work well for him?? You all
: : really seem to know what you're doing, and with indigo, I do NOT, so
: : any and all help would be VERY much appreciated! Thanks in
: advance!!
: : :) Oh, and a big thanks to Catherine for all her help and
: : assistance, when I called her, she was great and my hair turned out
: : wonderful!! Her advice and products are awesome. :)

: It sounds like David's Mix on the Mixes page might give you what
: you're looking for... possibly with slightly less indigo or maybe a
: bit of amla.

Thanks Elizabeth, I will check it out again. I looked at most of the
mixes on the mixes page, but I was still just a bit leary of trying
things without talking to folks. My own hair is one thing, but his
hair is something else, especially as long as it is, and from what
I've read about the indigo, once it's there, there isnt' much chance
of undoing it!! Thanks so much!

Peace,
Ginny
