The apocalyptic horseman who brought war rode a red horse, and all the
hennaed horses I've seen were war horses. I think the red horse was a
hennaed horse.

Magdalene was occasionally represented as red haired as was Jezebel.
Both were Canaanite women and henna was definitely part of being
Canaanite.

I suspect the problem with the interpretation of Roman laws on
prostitute's hair may have been a cultural bias. Gwyn says the word
most directly translated for the color of sex worker's hair was
"glowing". English translaters interpreted that as "blonde". But ...
henna GLOWS! And, there's a fragment of a Coptic text that refers to
the hair of saints "glowing as with henna". Gosh, do you think its
possible that dusty, dreary old white guyz in Oxford-Cambridge woudn't
have known henna if it had come up and kicked them in their butts?
