I did two very wrong things my first time henna'ing. number one, I
mixed with hot water and put on my head right away (no dye release
time) and number two, I also only left it on for about an hour. I
have medium dark brown hair naturally, and I turned out a weird
burnt orange-red color.

After reading here, I ordered 100g henna and 100g indigo from
catherine, followed the correct procedures for both for dye release,
for me it was about 10 hours after mixing the henna and about a half
hour or so for the indigo. I mixed them both together the next day
and then applied to my hair. This time, I forced myself to leave it
in for five hours. The color turned out to be a deep brown with red
glint in the sun. I've been doing that since.

Don't worry, you don't have to limit the amount of times you henna,
so you could do it right away if you wish, it only takes about 2
days to rec'v product from catherine. I didn't even give it a week
or so to oxidize either, I freaked too. No harm done.
