Alright.
Time to proceed with the indigo!
My idea is
to have the indigo mix a little simpler and a little thicker since it will be
used on the length only and will be easier to apply.
Getting
stuff ready…
Indigo mix:
Indigo, cassia, Tressemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture conditioner and water if
needed.
It turned
out that 5 gram
of indigo add up to 20 ml, so it’s less dense then henna.
For a
1/10th test batch I will need 2 ml then.
Indigo test
batch
- 2 ml indigo
- 40 ml Tressemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture conditioner
Indigo
cement!
The mixture
turned out quite hard and dense so I added water: 6 ml in all.
It was
still quite dense and hard, so I had to “massage” it around to get it into the
test hairballs. The thick texture will be okay once I get to actually use it on
my hair: I will use it for the length only so I should be able to distribute it
well anyways.
“A” is for
the strand test that was henna’ed with the argan oil mix.
I left the
baggies for 3 hours before rinsing.
The
reflection of the kitchen counter is quite irritating, but it feels good
knowing I shouldn’t be able to stain the metal!
The indigo
mix and hair turned into a little hard lump and it felt rather funny to rinse
out. Loosening the cassia-indigo mix out with a conditioner before rinsing for
real will definitely be the way to go!
