OK, so we did a hairbrush test, leaving it on for 3 hours. It seemed
to work. We tried rehennaing the same sample for another three hours,
and there wasn't an appreciable difference; three hours seemed to have
done the trick. As a result, the strand test we tried last night was
left on for three hours. But it doesn't really seem to have made much
difference. Dark brown hair with six month old auburn on the top
layer. We'll try again, maybe tomorrow. How long do you reckon we
should leave it on for this time? I'm thinking of going over the old
strand and doing a new one, so that if we leave it on for, say, five
hours, we get to see five hours' worth on the new strand and eight on
the strand we hennaed last night. Does that sound reasonable?
