How to even out the grey....

Hi Henna pro's <G>...I have recently returned to the henna fold- I
have used "Grocery Store" boxes twice in the past 3 months, with
decent success. First time with plain water (as per the box
instructions), the second time (THANK YOU!) with lemon and espresso.
My dark brown hair has a definite red tint, especially in the sun,
but my single grey (ok, WHITE) strands look like orange soda. I dont
have a lot of the grey/white, but it buggs me. I would love to even
them out more. OK, so I have ordered 2 batches from Catherine, and
they are tempting me as we speak. My questions....is it too soon to
re henna (last time was 2 weeks ago) and is there something I can
add to my mix to deepen those lighter strands (or will that happen
with repeat hennas) - or to help the henna "stick" more to the light
bits? I suspect this is a case of keep doing 'til you have the
results you want, but I wanted to ask if I was missing something.

I have to add that I am somewhat relieved that there are other folk
out there that are hooked on this stuff - what is it about the
combination of experience and results (yep, I like the smell too!)
that makes you want to mix another batch <VBG>?....

Thanks for any suggestions....Kirsten
