I'm very happy with the mix I've been using, so would keep that the
same.. though, like you say, it would probably be easier to have a
slightly thinner consistency, to do a roots only job.

I leave my henna on for around 5 or 6 hours.. I get a lovely deep
red colour and it's a great excuse for a lazy day! ;op

Worked
