Yep. I know a woman with the most *amazing* red hair I have ever
seen -- red hair that I dream about having -- and she's a natural
redhead who uses henna. It makes her hair very bright with gorgeous
highlights and tones.

Henna actually penetrates or coats the hair (I've heard it described
as both, but hair science is not my thing), so it will make the
texture thicker... I love it because I have thin hair, and it really
does get thicker. Some people find it to be a bit drying, but you can
combat that with a good conditioner, and you can even add some oil
into the henna (I've known spanish women who use henna, water, and
olive oil on their hair).

Before hennaing, go down the rabbit hole to read the Reverend
Bunny's information page on hennaing your hair. She lists some very
important points (especially about henna and chemical processes and
how you CANNOT mix the two!)
