I welcome help from everyone on this. I recently used the Jamila
quality henna, and I used the following mix... 100gm henna, 1 cup
fresh lemon juice, 1 cup hot water, 1 tbs red wine, 8 drops tea tree
and lavender essential oils. I mixed it, and let it sit overnight for
dye release. Then applied and left on 4 hours. I wanted my hair to
look like "Andy's" hair in the "Mix" section. My hair is naturally
dark brown, and I was wanting beautiful auburn results. Instead, I
got even darker hair with a burgundyish tinge to it in the sunlight.
It's such a dark color. Did turping cause the darker shade? Hair
looks healthy and shiny, but in my next henna application, would
beetroot powder help bring about more red, for auburn results? I
just want a color change from brown to auburn.
