Skunk stripe

I have been been using red henna for almost 30 years. Now that my
hair is almost 75% white on top, and probably 30% in back, I find I
have to touch up my roots every two weeks. If I go three weeks, I
have a very noticable skunk stripe.

I would like to move towards a strawberry blonde henna for several
reasons. As I get older, I think the deep red is a little too much
for me, and I think a light strawberry blonde would allow my white to
grow out a little less noticiably and allow me to reduce
applications.

How do I get from deep red to strawberry blonde? My natural hair is
dark brown--what little is left anyway. Since I have used henna
forever, and I have almost waist length hair, I have quite a buildup.

If I start using strawberry blonde, will my hair get light all over,
or will I end up with a strawberry blonde skunk stripe?

Also, has anyone here dealt with growing out henna or dealing with
white hair that needs constant retouching--and if so, any tips to how
more easily deal with it?

Thanks
