Question for Ravyn G

Hi Ravyn,

I'm a young gray-head (30yrs old:80% gray!)and have been using henna
and indigo (Catherine's body-art stuff) for about 8 months to try to
make my hair dark dark brown or black (my original color). Although
I've had some moments of enlightenment--my hair turning pretty dark on
occasion, I've never had the results that you describe here (I've read
all of your earlier posts). Does your indigo fade away to red after a
wash or two? Mine does. I've experimented on dry hair, wet hair,
using ingredients including: coffee, amla, red wine, nutmeg, walnut
powder, salt water. I've also experimented with different dye-release
times and "leave-in" times. Yikes! Maybe it's that cornstarch thing
you do? Or maybe it's the texture of my hair (very thick, course
Irish hair). The last time I sent out one of these sorts of pleas for
help, Catherine advised me that I probably just have really strong
keratin.

Any advice greatly appreciated...Anna
