    I can't use conditioner. I have SD and con will make it flair. I make the shampoo myself with sulfate free poo and purple dye.
    Works pretty well but deposit due just doesn't stick to my hair well.

    Kinda moot now anyways, I already used the indigo. After a few washes, green tint is mostly gone.
    Hair is now very ashy, more grey really but the brass is gone and my roots are blended.

    The one problem is my white streaks are baby blue. I read indigo doesn't stick to greys/whites but it colored mine. I suspect it will fade in time.

    Really? I've always read that indigo turns whites blue - and I've seen it in person too. Don't know if it faded on that lady because she panicked and box dyed over the blue.

    Striving for my terminal length.

    Maybe what I read meant it fades on greys. My blue bits have pretty much faded to a silver color, not bad at all.

    The over all color is really odd, not green, more of a antique bronze.

    It almost looks metallic with all the different tones and colors along with a lot of shine. Wish I could get a accurate picture
