Henna for Hair

Debbie B's Mix
debbie b

Henna hair mix
 

57 grams of henna

24 grams of indigo

Herbal tea (Carrington tea rosehip hibiscus, lemon grass, and natural raspberry flavor)

App. 2 tbs. lemon juice

Made up the henna with herbal tea and lemon juice let dye release overnight then I put it in the refrig for a day. Then in freezer waiting for indigo to arrive.

I put in some whole cloves with the herbal tea and after the dye release right before I put it on I did add a couple drops of tea tree oil and rosemary oil.
 
Then I made indigo mix with warm/hot water and dye release then mix the two together.
 
Had to put it on myself Saturday July 3, son wasn't home it was not to much fun lol, but my hair is short to med.
 
Then I saran wrap it up and try blow dying it for a bit but gave up on that fast too warm.
 
I had it on for 7 ½ hours and wash it out for awhile using condition (Aussie).
 
Ok I had original med. Brown hair and now I am not sure lol it looks a little like Kim auburn/burgundy I think.  I want it a little darker though.  I need to take an outside pic to this one I did myself digital camera the day after inside.  Ok I not sure what I have lol burgundy red, auburn copper lol.  I just hope I did it even and it just the lighting lol.
