I prefer using red wine on its own
: or with water to deepen the colour a bit as I found lemon juice on
: its own gave VERY bright copper shades. So I think thats a good place
: for you to start.

Diane,

You mention using red wine on its own. Does that mean you put in on
as a rinse on already hennaed hair? Does the color of the juice need
fresh henna molecules to stain before going into the hair or can you
try to stain them afterwards?

Hannal is looking for a way to cool down her freshly hennaed hair
without going darker, I need cooler but can live with darker. Another
layer of henna even with a cool mix would definitely go darker from
what I have read here.

Has anyone had success with just a fruit juice (beet, grape, etc)
rinse and letting it sit for a few hours to cool down henna hair
color? Do you think it could work?

color

water
: or iced tea and a pinch of paprika. I'd like a bit of intensity but
: not so much that it appears totally unnatural. Also what EOs do you
: prefer to use? I was thinking peppermint but I'd love some other
ideas!

Andi,

From what I have gathered putting olive oil in the mix would stop the
henna from penetrating your hair- oil free hair absorbs more. Eggs
would get pretty stinky waiting for the dye release and on your head
for 4 hours. I would condition with those afterwards if it was even
necessary. The body art henna color on its own is extremely natural
especially if you want shiny copper-bronze penny color. As Diane said
the shade depends more on your underlying color.
