Hi =)

First of all, I want to thank you all for your great tips. You gave
me the courage to try henna.

I have blonde hair with red highlights naturally, but I've always
wanted red, red hair. So I started using permanent haircolor. I've
never been too happy with the results. It did make my hair red, but
the first few days, there was always a purplish tint(not flattering
with my warm skin tones). The purple would fade away, and then so
would my color until a month or so later it would be back to
strawberry blonde. Once a month is too often to color, especially
for my naturally curly, rather fragile hair. So I would have to put
up with it for several weeks.

So I decided to try henna. I read everything I could find on it. I
ordered fresh, body art quality henna. I tested on harvested hair
(since my hair had been colored with Colorsilk about a month before)
and got a lovely copper color. So I mixed my henna with lemon juice
24 hours ahead and smooshed it on in the morning. On with the
plastic cap and a little mob cap I made to wear over my curlers. I
left it on about seven hours. Then I got in the shower and rinsed
and rinsed, got out and noticed orange dripping from my hair and got
back in and rinsed and rinsed. My hair is a lovely copper!! Not a
hint of purple. Now I just hope it stays better.
