DO IT! My hair is amazing today - the color is SO saturated and my
hair is like silk! I fixed my batch and had a LONG dye release (24
hours-something came up). Put it in Saturday night at 7pm. I have a
lot of hair so I wrapped it around snug against my head and patted
it smooth , then wrapped with saran wrap TIGHT - I used lots coz I
was afraid to damage my sheets. Put a shopping carry bag over that
(smoothed it down, tied a knot in the front and tucked it up). Put a
cheap shower cap over that. I covered my pillow case with a towel we
use to dry the dog. Slept like a log, tho I admit I was a little
confused when I first woke up because my head was so heavy (LOL).

When I woke there was no mark on any linens, including the emergency
towel. I had a cup of tea, make the kids breakfast, then filled the
tub 1/2 way. This was about 7am. I usually shower the henna out, but
decided to live a little (heehee) and tried the soak method so many
people here use - swished my head a bit, stood up and rinsed,
applied conditioner (Aussie) and rinsed again. I SWEAR, 5 mins max
and the water was clear. I have no 1st day roughness, no wierd
residue and my hair is so smooth I can't believe it. Also no orange -
my hair is mahogany - like the Jazzing color Cherry Cola (my orig
color is quite dark brown). The grey is absolutely blended in. The
best henna experience I have had to date. Amazing.

This was Catherines henna, lemon juice mixed with a brew of clove,
hibiscus, dried lime (brewed like a tea, about 1 hr) and some rose
water.

Can you tell I am stoked- the folks on this forum won't lead you
astray, the overnight is worth it! Good luck!
