In reply to: henna mix with grape juice or wine? posted by prairiechild on December 13, 2004 at 14:28:01:

I use red grape juice in my mix..
I used red wine onece.. it smelled awful and made no difference to
the colour.
I couldn't really say if the red grape juice makes any difference to
the colour or not, but I wouldn't think it would.
I mix my henna powder with about a third each, of lemon juice, red
grape juice and water (with a splash of strwaberry, kiwi & hibiscus
tea, to get a good consistency, aftre it's stood overnight).

My first henna was on top of chemically coloured blonde hair. I
left the mix on my head for 7 or 8 hours. According to my strand
tests, if I'd have only left it on for a couple of hours, it would
have been bright orange! I got a nice coppery auburn colour (in the
mixes section, under 'Dionnes Mix').
I've hennaed about 5 or 6 times now and my hair's a darker auburny
red colour (the photo I've attached was taken as soon as I'd
hennaed, and is from a couple of hennas ago, so my hair's a bit
darker than that now), which I love :o)
I still leave it on my head for around 5 hours though.

I'd definitely recommend leaving your henna mix on for well over an
hour.
