My henna comes from http://www.mehandi.com/shop/hairhenna.html and it
has been great. And the color on the white hair gets richer with
each month of application. It is always too orangey looking
immediately upon rinsing the henna out, particularly while it is
still wet. After it has dried it blends very well and within 24
hours it has settled into a great deep coppery red. People ask how I
get such great highlights... and it is just the contrast of the henna
on the white hair versus the henna on the darkish brown hair.

I have not tried mixing anything other than lemon juice with the body
art henna, though I used to use coffee to tone down the bad shades I
got with Light Mountain henna. Also, I don't have much fading with
the henna body art quality henna, whereas there was serious fading
with the Light Mountain stuff.
