scalp and roots question

Hi everyone. Today was my very first henna experience... and I'm pretty sure it was a
good one. Actually, at age 35, it was the first time I've ever attempted to color my hair
in any way, shape, or form. So I feel a little weird (not necessarily bad, just...
"altered").

I have learned tremendously from this site, which is an amazing resource. Two
questions: 1) In an attempt to get my roots, my wonderful friend who graciously
spent hours with me got some henna on my scalp, which is now reddish in front and
on top. It won't be a huge problem, as I don't usually part my hair, but is there a way
to avoid this in the future? Any idea how long will this scalp tint last? 2) I have super
thick hair with emerging grays underneath in the back (but increasingly and
steadfastly making their way to the surface). These hairs were very hard to reach,
given the thickness and length of my hair. Any suggestions for getting at those
pesky grays underneath? Thanks again for everything. Barbara
