My natural color is dark brown, that develops red highlights as it
grows out and is exposed to sun. I am graying as well. Plus, I have
the residue from years of chemical dying on the ends (starting 3" out
from roots), where I matched my natural color as closely as possible.

I've been hennaing over all, and currently have deep auburn, even on
my gray root patches. No flaming red anywhere, not even on the gray.
It all seems to blend in. I could technically still be considered a
brunette (though a red-highlighted one).

Actually, after reading about (and seeing) the tendency of henna to
darken, I wonder how anyone does maintain that flaming red with henna.
