Hi! I hennaed my hair last night.. i've naturally black hair, but
i've been dying it a medium brown for years. It wasnt until recently
that i've decided to go natural.

Here's my problem: the older, more porous parts of my hair got more
henna than my virgin roots (about 1 1/2 inch long). is there any way
i can correct this? is there any way to make my black hair dark
brown?

i used light mountain's dark brown henna (since that's the only one
availabe in our health food store here in the philippines), with red
wine and lemon for acid, and some coffee, english breakfast tea, and
clove for the 'witches' brew'. i also terped it with tea tree oil
and a bit of rosemary) and the result was brownish red ends with
black roots..

there are couple of other henna brands available ( Amir and Naajo)
but i dont trust em as much coz they didnt list any of the
ingredients.. any feedback on these brands? thanks so much :)
