Hi,
She used henna from Mehandi, Catherine's website. It was while she
was helping me henna my long hair, which I've been doing for a few
months now. The mix was with vinegar and arabic spiced coffee and it
had sat overnite. She got curious and decided to to try a bit on her
white roots. She has extremely thick, kind of short, hair so she
did it on a small section underneath which doesn't show. The white
part turned a too bright red/orange.

Elektra's hair looks beautiful! I browsed the mixes...very
interesting. I'm thinking that since her hair is naturally all
white, it might be hard to really get a darkish color like she
wants. And, wouldn't it look kind of 2-tone for a while while her
hair grows out of the chemical dye that she has been using?

: Which henna did she use? How long did she leave it on her hair
for?
:
: Have a snoop through the Mixes section, quite a few people are
: hennaing over grey hair. Admittedly it's harder to get a deeper
: colour on pure white hair than it is on hair which is only
partially
: grey. Have a look at Elektra's hair, that's about the nearest.
She
: managed to get a pretty dark auburn on greying blonde hair, using
: henna and indigo.
