[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a dark brunette with a patch of white hairs developing at one temple, just like my mother. After some thought, I decided to henna and indigo my hair.

I do it at home, the price is negligible, but the time and effort is moderate. I need a day to do it properly at home every month and a half, although I usually stretch it out to once every 2 months because I'm lazy. The henna adds a barely visible reddish luster to my very dark brown hair, and the indigo only shows on my white hairs, by temporarily coloring them a lighter reddish brown. Indigo is a natural blue-black dye that sticks to the red henna dye, and it's the henna that sticks to your hair. Since the transfer isn't 100%, my white hairs don't take the color completely, but they are hidden satisfactorily. The overall effect is that my hair seems to have a subtle variety of dark brown and bronze shades. I love it.

Henna is permanent and doesn't mix with salon colors, so if you decide to do that, you cannot get it corrected with artificial dyes. You'd have to wait until it grows out. Indigo fades with time, but my roots show up anyway, which is why I need to dye every couple of months.
