I've been a henna head for nearly 20 years, started in mid/late 20's
and am now 52 (how did THAT happen?). I bought whatever, even the
old Nestle Egyption Henna (is that product still around, kinda
orangey) as my natural brownish-red highlights hair began greying
early on and I liked the streaky but natural look it had with henna.
Over the years, as my hair greyed it became redder and redder. I
was thinking I would just like to let it go grey, but shaving my
head, that unsightly grow out or chemicals were not an option. It
still looked cool, but too brassy for my (hopefully gracefully)
aging self. Thanks to the tips here, I mixed some ground cloves,
coffee and a bit of lemon juice to the stuff, let it sit for an hour
and gave it a more time on my head. Voila! It's the closest it has
ever been to my old color, but still red, kinda auburny, looks and
feels great. I also must find a local source of quality henna. The
Natural Foods CO-OP has pretty good and inexpensive henna, but they
are often out of stock...Anyway, thanks again...
