Hi,
I just henna my hair yesterday et here are my remarks about gray
hair:
I have naturally brown hair (quite dark)I have about 10 or 20 % gray
but they concentrates at the templets(can you say that ? excuse my
so bad english I'm a french girl!)
I first henna my hair, one month after a semi-permanent chimical
dye: i use henna from a store ,called "copper" actually a mix of
henna and indigo (read the box after doing it!): the gray turns gold
(which is quite nice but not in a brown hair!)
Now I 'm happy the hair didn't became green because I didn't know
you have to wait 6 month after a chimical dye and didn't make any
test...
Then I found this wonderfull site and learn a lot about henna!!
So I decided to henna my hair once more with good henna and good
practice:
I order henna from Henna Boy which is recommanded here and which is
the only supliers you can find in Europe where I live (Catherine,
can I buy it from you ? Do you send it in France?)
I mix the henna with limon juice, red wine and very strong coffee +
one spoon of olive oil
I let it release 8 hours and keep it 3 hours on my hair:
Now My hair is more colored than the first time and I like the color
which seems to turn redder with the time (my hair is naturally dark
brown and now it is shining with a beautifull "chesnut auburn")
BUT my templets (and my grays) are now more orange than red: so what
I have to do the next time ?
Is the orange turns into red with the future hennas?
I would like have beautifull red hair like Catherine on the pic you
can see in the "Mixes"...Is it possible with time?
Maybee the next time I will use a little bit of indigo (like Electra
do because I also love the color of her hair that you can see on the
pic in the "Mixes" aera)
However I will send Catherine a pic of my hair as soon as I have
time to take one...
So you can see the results!
Thanks for all the information you can find here!
I'm really fine to re-discover henna (I've used it when I was 20
with no gray hair I' m now 32) because I was really upset with my
gray and don't want to use chimical (my mother does from now 30
years and her hair is not really nice now!)
