...a bit trigger happy on the keyboard there... :-)

Doing a henna gloss, i.e. henna mixed with conditioner should give you minimal color
change. From what I've seen it usually only gives a red tinge on dark blonde/brownish
hair, quite subtle. I'd suggest doing a test on a strand from the nape - clip away the rest of
your hair and put the henna/conditioner mix on that strand. Start with about 20-30
minutes and wash away to see the results. If you're afraid that you'll go too red - put less
henna in the mix - maybe about a tablespoon in total. It's also nowhere nere as hard as a
real henna to wash out - if you can rinse out conditioner from your hair without problems
you can rinse out a henna gloss. You'll hardly notice the henna in there as it washes right
out with the conditioner.
