Hej Talia,

What kind of henna are you using? I have hair that's between dirty
blonde and light brown, depending on how long I've been out in the
sun (I try to avoid the sun - all that English/Serbian blood). Many
years back, I used henna I bought at a health food store to henna my
hair (Light Mountain, I think it was, in Strawberry Blonde or Persian
Red - something like that) - I had a copperish cast to my hair for a
day or two, but no longer than that. Tres disappointing. The last
few times I've hennaed my hair, I've used some old Castle Art henna
(Amy sold some of her old stock for a good price)mixed with tea, or
left over mehndi paste made from Castle Art powder. That has given
noticably better results. I also follow CCJ's advice and wrap my
hair in plastic wrap, then a towel, then hang out watching Discovery
Channel (I'd read, but the towel and plastic wrap and my glasses
don't all get along) for a few hours.

Hope this helps some.

Anne
