Hi Tara,
I used red wine as the only liquid in my test mixes so I would
duplicate that exactly when I do it on my head. My thinking was that
using it primarily for the colour effects I did not want to dilute it
at all. You could use powdered cloves mixed with the henna before
adding the wine or simmer whole cloves in the wine (smells like X-mas
and reduces the wine somewhat so you might need a tad more.) Teh
results seemed to be more or less the same.

I still am guessing that depending on your hair type, it could be a
great benefit to leave your harvested hair in the mix for quite a
while to get a deep colour. However, I'm also thinking (and I hope
the more experienced folks here will correct me when I'm wrong) that
you won't be able to expect a "browner" colour result, just
variations of red which should show up in the sunlight against your
already dark hair. It should be really pretty!
Let us know how it goes.
