Hi,
I am going to henna my hair this Wed. and have a couple of questions.
I plan to use Fia's mix (with Catherine's henna), the one where you
cook pectin and add to henna that has been sitting out overnight. I
am blonde and have already done the pretest which was a flaming
orange. I don't want that color! So I have walnut powder to add and
also was planning to add merlot to make the color "more chestnut". I
would be happy with chestnut, auburn or copper colored hair. I also
have citric acid, cloves and cinnamon and will probably add a
teaspoon of each. I am going to take this to my new hairdresser and
have him apply and then sit under heat for at least an hour.
My questions:
Can I use grapejuice instead of red wine to get the same color
results? I think the wine is stinky and I'm not crazy about alcohol
on my hair.

Anybody know the ph of grapejuice or wine? Is it OK just to throw in
a teaspoon of citric acid and hope it's what it needs?

Do you think an hour is long enough if I have heat on it? I need to
have my hair trimmed and thinned a bit afterwards so I can't go home
and leave it on for hours.
Thank You!!!
