I know people in the mix love playing about with different
ingredients, but you really can get superb results just using plain
henna, and that's certainly what you should start with. Get the best
quality you can find (pure, body art quality, and none of that
compound stuff), mix it up with water and lemon juice, and start
experimenting! Use Catherine's mix for guidanace (labelled "The
easiest mix" or something, I think), and look at the chart I drew up
to figure out how much henna to use for your hair length and thickness.

If your hair's that colour naturally, you can probably get a deep,
rich auburn. The one thing you can't do with henna is to go lighter.
It should still end up a beautiful colour, though, and there's still
room for a fair amount of brightness with the deeper shades.
