I've gotten a sample. Did a strand test. Actually divided it in half
and tried 2 recipes. Half was with red wine vinegar the other half
with balsamic...wondered if it would give a darker shade. Well, my
hair is naturally medium to dark brown (more dark I would say but I
always throw in the medium because it's not nearly black KWIM?) The
results from the red wine vinegar were a noticable reddened shade.
The balsamic..well, if you look closely you can almost detect a
difference. But then again, maybe I'm just making myself see it ??
LOL

Anyhow...here's the deal...I really really would like to henna my
hair. My desired result: richened brown w/burgundy ?? How might I
get that?

I keep searching the web for more info on this. I come across site
after site offering henna..herbal/hennas...henna hair dye..what have
ya. I don't have a problem w/mixing herbals in w/my henna to
achieve the color I want..but I don't know who to trust. Who really
has JUST herbs and henna in their product? Is there really such a
thing as burgundy henna? chestnut henna? mahogany henna? etc...

Then my next deal...what am I gonna have to do..buy a case of henna
to try different recipes while continuing to harvest from my hair
brush and shower drain?? Eeek!

Ok, sorry for rambling, thanks for 'listening' Any input greatly
appreciated.

Signed...
