Right, but if you look at the side, the shades are an herbal mix. Cassia + henna in the lighter shades, indigo + henna in the darker shades. And the problem is, what gets good dye release with henna isn't the best for indigo (cassia has little to no color, and mainly dilutes the henna, and as I recall, cassia's mixed up the same as you would henna anyhow), so the darker shades are kind of a wash.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Dingy greyish blue?
Check. I don't know why, but I needed to complete that little Venn diagram in my head.

My Boss is a total dillweed and I'd love to get the eff out of here? Prolly not, huh?
I dunno. Sometimes honesty actually works.
Henna rocks. And the brand I use gives me two shades that I mix together to create excellent red/gold highlights where my fortunately sprinkled grey resides. Thankfully, my old lady hair is greying in interesting patterns so the highlights look like I planned them that way.
The henna coating also gives my dark brown, flyaway hair a nice shine and texture.
The glop is unfun, but it's relatively easy to do...wrap up with some plastic wrap and voila, an hour later, highlights!
Not sure what I will do when the grey outnumbers the brown.

Yes, dingy greyish blue. Not an especially flattering color. But this conversation reminds me that I need to order more indigo.
On my mouse-y brown hair, henna + indigo goes a wonderful blue black, and the grey hair turns dark purple. I am a convert to mud on head.

Hmmm, that might work. I just really don't want any warm coloring at all. I knew a hairdresser in Paris who used only natural/herbal dye combinations and suggested some great cool colors, I wonder if there is anyone here in SF who does that.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I wonder if there are natural henna-using salons. I just don't trust myself with the back of my own head but y'all are making me miss my red tresses.

Aimee, from back up thread... doesn't your company have like 3 people? You, asshat boss, and one or two other folks? Couldn't asshat say "um, like there is too much porn on the server, can you guys stop it so I don't have to filter shit"?? And... um, doesn't that service COST??? I thought asshat was complaining about wasting money?? t /frugal logic person (as if that can close)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That cut is HOTT.
For serious. Fie on buzzcut-hating jobs!
