: I'm glad the skin tone aren't a big issue -- but you think you're
heading towards too
: dark or too red? I can do dark, my hair is naturally pretty
dark ... not black, but a dark

: So I posted below, but in case you didn't see it ~ what "mix" did
you use to get a
: "black cherry" sort of color?

: I have the opposite perception, I see the curls whisping around in
my peripheral
: vision and am shocked "bright copper!" but then when I look in the
mirror it's more of

: But no cherry-ish tone to mine, I don't think ... Mine is still
closer to the copper hues.

My mix was:
210g henna mixed w/ 1 c wine and 1/2 c apple cider vinegar (boiled)
Made that into a thick paste. Set 3 hr then got the consistency I
needed using another 1 1/2 c cold wine and 1/2 c of the ac vinegar.
That was my original mix. I had some of that left over from my first
hennaing. I thawed that out, added some fresh henna and some red
wine vinegar to get it thick and pastey again. Then thinned out as
needed w/warm water Cover w/shower cap/towel, sat 2 hrs 2nd time
(1hr first time) And my hair started out rather dark, naturally.
Somewhere medium to dark brown. I still haven't found a
good 'before' pic.
Oh yeah...skin tone deal..um, I don't think I can go much darker OR
redder. My second hennaing got me deeper rather than 'redder' so
thats a good thing I think my complexion can handle darker better
than it can redder...we'll see eh?
Weird that you seem to have had the same starting color yet have
come out more 'coppery'
Keep me posted on your results
