I've had the good fortune to be able to henna many people with the
same batch on the same day and be able to see the results every day
after up to a week ...

So far, I'd suspect that "red" may more a consequence of individual
skin chemistry on a particular day than any particular mix. (Though
some hennaes go red more reliably than others).
I've seen days when 5 people would get perfect red out of the same
batch as others who get the usual array of browns.

I'm not sure why.

Could be a very specific body ph. Could be a very specific
body temperature.

I don't see anything in your mix that would incline it one way or
other ....
