: Iris, have you put up a picture yet? I'd love to see the effect of
: your interesting method! Just for clarification, the areas you
: indigo are actually blonde, not white?
yes, they are blonde. they are so light they are almost white, but
they are not white in the sense of gray (I have a couple of those as
well, but they can be hennaed out just fine).

I do have a picture of the blonde bits, included here. on the left
side you see about two inches of yellow - this is the colour of the
platinum bits after henna. in this picture, they had been hennaed ten
days before, and then indigoed. so this shows how the indigo pretty
much completely washes out within ten days. (I get the same colour
with just henna).

with henna and indigo, they are kinda light brown. this picture may be
too small to show it, but I tried to indicate the colour by drawing a
white oval around the blonde bits that did retain the indigo. the
indigo tends to stick better at hair further away from the roots.

phew ;-) - maybe it is time for me to get a life ;-)
