Hi again, Iris,
I really appreciate your advice; its seems that those of use who are
starting with a lighter natural colour are going to be prone to
the "orangies" at least initially. It makes sense to me what you say
about the body art quality producing more dye, but that the colour
itself is the same.

I am just assuming that the lighter coloured hairs will of course
take longer to acquire deeper red tones and so orange could be a
problem for some time. Do you think that black walnut could
neutralise this effect somewhat? I also, don't want to go brown by
any means, however with my starting colour and any amount of henna
there is little danger of that happening. I would just like to deepen
the red towards a more "auburn" tone if its possible. Since I have
rather a high percentage of light golden hairs on my head, I'm
wondering if black walnut would perhaps target those to produce a
somewhat darker effect. That's why even though I am completely sold
on the body art quality, I must admit to being curious about the
brands I see discussed here which promise different "shades" and
wonder if these might actually prove to be useful to me.

I really am liking my new colour more each day, however, I can't tell
a lie: my natural colour was quite pretty if I say so myself and I am
mourning the fact that I probably will never really see it again
before I'm completely grey! ( Now that I know about henna I will
never let myself go completely grey!)

I don't know anybody personally who hennas their hair, so no, I
haven't got any frame of reference in terms of the effect of
continued usage over years. I am glad to know it does become deeper.
Till then, yes, I will continue to henna at times when I don't need
to be seen by too many people for a few days!

thanks again
