Hello all (again!)!

I got a nice wad of hair off my hairbrush last night and mixed it
with some leftover paste (just henna and lemon juice) I had in the
freezer. I let the lovely bit of goop sit for two hours then rinsed
it out. The wad of my hair, which is currently dyed medium brown
(not far from my natural color) with light brown streaks from where
my Redlights faded out, turned a lovely sort of shiny coppery brown!
I'm so excited!

Anyway, not sure if anyone cares about the results, but being as my
hair is so chemically treated I thought I would share.

Ok, and now my questions (sorry I ask so many!): I read that you can
add red zinger tea to your mix for red highlights - how much would
you add, and would you add it after the dye has released or can you
add it from the get-go? Same goes for paprika - how much and when do
you add it?

That's it as far as questions (for now - lol). I ordered some fresh
henna from Castle Art today and by the middle of next week I'm going
to do a couple more tests to perfect my mix and if all goes well
next Saturday I'll be sitting around with green goop on my head for
a few hours! I'll let you all know how it goes.

Thanks again for all the help!
Jamie
