"I just wanted to thank you and let you know that the Logwood I purchased
from you was wonderful. This is the first time I have worked with natural
dyes, and I must say from this experience forth, natural dyes will be
the only thing I will use. Thank you for turning me on to the theraputic
artistry of natural dyeing.
Best regards,
Shari Strmac, SewBlue, LLC"
Q:
"Hi, I want to dye my hair permanent glossy blue black. Should I use indigo dye kit? Does it give damage to hair? I have done sample tests to my hair with indigofera tinctoria that I have bought from [someone else]. However, it didn't turn blue black. I would be very pleased if you could help me.
Thanks.

"Logwood is the traditional blue black hair dye. It has been used in the Caribbean for thousands of years. Boil the Logwood shavings, strain, add some iron mordant and apply.

Logwood
Some of the beautiful colors you can create with Logwood and different mordants. With Tannin and Iron you can make Black (AS #13), with Alum you get Purple (AS #14) and Tin gives you Amethyst (AS #52).
This exceptional logwood has been hand-harvested in association with Mama D.O.C.'s Logwood Project to help bring money and work to the natives of the small island. This Logwood has been harvested from the best old growth tree (70+ years) available. For the one tree that's been harvested 10 have been planted. We'd like to thank you for your well wishes on the D.R. logwood project.
Note: My logwood has already been fermented and is ready to use!

"This is the finest quality Logwood I have used in all my 30 yearsof professional natural dyeing. SOAK overnight before extracting. Quite strong: good purples with 4 oz or less per pound of fibre."– Cheryl Kolander, MasterNatural Dyer
