Yup.. you sound to be in pretty much the same situation as me!
I love the colour I've got now.. and because the colour doesn't
fade, there really doesn't seem to be a need to keep doing my whole
head.
My natural hair colours a medium/dark blonde and my regrowth isn't
that noticable either.. so that's a good thing :o)

You could try the henna/cassia mix, for conditioning, without as
much colour.. or you could just do cassia on it's own, for
conditioning, with no added colour. I've never used cassia, though
I might try, one of these days :o)

: Hi Dee!
: What a coincidence...
: I just got here ready to post a question about the same thing!
Maybe

bit
: longer than you, and so we are probably both reaching
: that "saturation point" where we have a lot of henna in our hair.
If
: you're like me, you probably are quite happy with the colour
you've
: got now and don't want to keep going darker and darker...
:
: I am going to try a "roots only" next time, and I've only ever
gone
: it alone up till now. I'm lucky in that I started a light redhead
to
: begin with so that my roots aren't terribly noticable (well I'm at
: least 3 or 4 shades darker now, so I notice them but my friends
: insist they can't.) Still eventually they need attention, and need
to
: be done. I am so happy with the fact that the henna doesn't fade
out
: or go a strange colour, but this last time I felt that I have
: achieved a colour I'm happy with and I'd like to leave it as is
for
: now if its possible...
:
: Only problem is I am addicted to that lovely shiny thick
conditioning
: I get with the full head treatment. I wonder if anyone has any
: experience with using a henna/cassia combo, or a "dilute" henna
paste
: or just leaving it on for a much shorter amount of time? I hate
the
: idea of giving up the full head treatment, but want to stop the
henna
: build up for now? Any thoughts?
