In reply to: I have ginger (not red) hair, would henna darken it? posted by Alicia on August 12, 2004 at 07:19:10:

my 6 year olds hair is a dark ginger, i hennaed her hair because the
lice stuff on the market was hurting her scalp and was giving her
blisters, plus i just couldn't get rid of it....a $100 dollars later,
i henna it and it became the most intense red i think i've ever seen.
it is almost the same color as when she was a baby but now it is sooo
much shinyer...i think i spelled that right ;-> people now stop me in
the street and tell me her hair is soooo pretty...she has the most
beautiful hair and with her pale skin and freckles usually they don't
ask me if it is real...but then she likes to see the shocked look when
she pipes up to say "yeah, my mom dyes my hair"... lol... little stinker.
