thanks everyone for the tips, this was only my third application, and
my first using body art quality, so maybe i will have to wait a while.
it just seems that with every application it is getting more orangey
rather than less!

maybe it is that I haven't been leaving it to develop long enough, i
will try leaving it over night next time.

what does red wine do? i read somewhere on the site that people use
this, but isn't the alchohol damaging to hair?

also, if i keep applying it every week until it builds up, will this
dry out my hair and damage it or will it make it healthier? i have
quite damaged split hair that i have been trying to grow for years,
with no success, which is the main reason i switched to henna from
chemical dyes.

: Be patience, it takes time to build up the color. It is the same
: concept of the tea stain on a ceramic cup. I learned to use Henna
: from a Hindu college friend that attended UTD. She had marvelous
: long hair up to her hips. She covers her gray but it takes many
: applications. She told me that she applies Henna every week,
: specially on the roots. I started again using Henna, I had to safe my
: hair from some highlight and bleaches. Even if I applied over my
: highlights, it looks very good. Use only lemon juice with your Henna,
: coffee and tea works too but most be added to the mix.
