I use alkanet in my herbal products for color...I use it the most often in lavender soaps and also rose salves. The color is different when mixed with different things, for me. You make me wonder what it would do in hair!!What a beautiful blue the Alkanet is. I understand it is frequently used as a dye. You could dye your hair with it @zigs , but i don't think it will come out that lovely shade of blue, more likely it will be a reddish color. Have you tried using it as a dye? It would be nice to get an id on the pointy purple flower because it is so unusual. Does it have a fragrance?

You might try it on just a little bit of hair @NatalieW as an experiment. My understanding is that the color comes from the root of the plant, is that correct? I wonder if it would be a permanent or temporary dye?
