: Of the henna'ed who's who!
: Finally had my first go at my entire head on Saturday! It was so
easy
: to do, although the result was mildly traumatic. After trying no
less
: than half a dozen harvest tests and even doing 2 strands on my
head,
: the actual result all-over was a bit of a shock! WOW! How red can
you
: get?! lol. I'm a fiery flaming orangey deep deep intense rust
: colour! The orange tones are settling down a little bit, but even
: though I knew day one was not the true colour, I have to say it
was a
: bit unnerving!
:
: Getting used to it though. Makes my natural colour, which I
thought
: was rather coppery to begin with, seem almost insipid now! What I
: have realised though was that my "red" hair was made up of about
25%
: bright coppery strands, 50% auburny-browny-reddish strands and
: surprisingly about 25% light goldeny blond strands. So the light
: blond strands are now orangey gold; the coppery colour is now
aflame,
: and the browny colour a deep burnished rust. The overall effect is
: unbelievably red! Yikes!
: Anyway, my few greys are ALL GONE...
:
: Couple of questions: Does anyone find that repeated applications
: cause the colour to even-out all over, as I would hate to end up
with
: a flat single colour? Also, anybody experienced with henna-ing red
: hair know whether the orangey tones ever completely go away with
: subsequent applications? I don't see a lot of difference with the
: hairbrush tests that I repeated on OR the ones that I left in for
: hours and hours ( I got all this colour in just 1 hour!)
:
: Will get a pic to Catherine asap, I'm enjoying all the new pics in
: the mixes...

Just wanted to say Woohoo! Congrats on finally doing the whole
thing hehe I'm still not there yet. Though, rather pleased w/my
results from last test. Trying one more I beleive. But then will
have to wait til I can purchase the henna to do my whole head
Waaah Have I mentioned I'm not good w/delayed gratification? LOL
