Don't know the answer to this one, but I am HOPING that with
continuous use, the greys take on a deeper tone and eventually blend
in. I only have a very small percentage of grey, but got a pretty
good coverage from henna on its own; well in the sense that the greys
came out an orangey blond type colour. I'm lucky I guess, as a
redhead already, I get a VERY red result from henna, and the orangey
greys blend pretty easily with the rest of the copper hair. Now how
it will work in the future, with a lot more grey I don't know.
I imagine that the overall lightening process will happen as it does
naturally, with a larger proportion of orangey blond as I continue to
grey.

Whether its henna or a chemical dye, I just assume that at some
point, people who have dyed their hair usually decide that its not
worth the effort and let it do its own thing anyway. The decision to
dye or not to dye being the issue.
