How often do you henna?

Do you henna to cover greys or just to refresh colour, new growth, condition hair?

Do you do your growth?

Do you do your length?

I was going to change the poll to read:

2 weeks --> 2-3 weeks
4 weeks --> monthly.

i have been doing it every week! trying to get my hair in good shape.

Now, my hair I have done 3 of then in 13 days. Ouch sounds like a lot.

Once I figure out the colour. I think I will be doing it 2-3 weeks. That is the maximum I can stand my greys showing.

I henna every 3 weeks, but as it wasn't an option put 4, which is what I hit when life gets the better of me, I can't stand the amount of roots after 4 weeks, so its every 3-4 weeks as time allows realistically

I henndigo when my hair needs the color. I don't have roots showing because they're already dark colored but the indigo fades quickly so I had to redo it every 3 weeks or so to put the darkness back.

I henna my roots every month. I've noticed that when a month is gone and that much of my roots are showing, it makes all of my hair look more *brown*. But when I henna the roots, all of my hair looks unmistakably red again. Weird.

I've only henna-ed once. Just a chunk of hair in the front.

Every three to four weeks depending on time. I usually just do the hair all around my hair line, at my temples and the places on top that will show. I bother with the underlying roots (I have tons of hair) that don't show when they start to show. :D

I have only hennaed once so far. But I used to dye my hair all of the time. I chose to cover grey every 6 weeks, but it is also because of new growth. Mainly the grey though...it drives me crazy, I have not come to terms with it yet.

I henna anywhere between once every week to once every three months.

It just depends on how much I want to play with mud.

My option isn't in there.
I am aiming for natural hair, so i am only hennaing my already damaged hair from hair dye monthly-ish not to the day.

I Hennagloss every 4-8 weeks. My original color is very similiar to the henna one, so my roots aren't really showing up, you can't tell where the henna starts and the new growth ends, it's kind od blurred. Normally, I henna when I think my hair needs color.

I do it every two months to cover up new growth. I am lazy and don't want to do it every month, and I actaully like the roots showing a bit. It looks nice.

it really depends on how much growth i get... if i grow half an inch in 2 weeks i henna every 2 weeks if i get half an inch in a month i henna once a month... whenever my roots are really showing i henna

Every 4-6 weeks. Sometimes all of it, the other times just till my ears and the length with coconut cream.

I do root touchups once a month. I'd do it every 3 weeks, which is when I need it, but I'm not about to bother my SO about my hair more than I already do :o

To cover greys every three weeks

I voted "for new growth, 2 months"

I've only done it 4 times. Just whenever my roots are showing... I'm due for another application. This time I'll only do the roots and do a henna gloss on the length, I don't want it to get darker.

The first year or so I henna'd, I did it once a week. Well, I alternated a full henna one week and a gloss the next. That was for color and conditioning on my damaged hair.

Nowadays since I'm busier, I just henna when I think I can find the time- that ranges from 3 weeks to 3 months. But I try to do it monthly. You can't really see any roots since my hair is pretty dark, and I mostly henna for the conditioning properties now since my lighter bits have darkened up to blend with my darker hair. I've given up on trying to get RED on my dark hair without doing something drastic to it first.

I henna monthly or so and gloss a couple times in between with the leftovers.

I'm the one who voted 'when my hair needs the conditioning'
The difference in color with or without henna in my hair is negligible.

I henna every 4-6 weeks over my entire head. It's partially to cover the silver, partially to refresh the color and keep it as deeply saturated as possible, and partially just because I want to.

I henna every 3-5 weeks depending on the appearance of grays. I henna all over not just the roots.

once every few months when my hair starts looking mousy-brown again in indoor light.

When I feel my hair needs the color and conditioning which is usally after 3 months. I have about 6cm of roots by then and its just getting to dark and the red fades..:(

When I henna'd regularly, I'd do it about every 6 weeks. Now that I'm back to henna-ing, it'll probably be the same thing, along with glosses. Way back when I used to dye my hair with henna, glossing wasn't very common, so when I finally did one last summer, I was shocked at how much colour I got from it. I had lots of henna left over from my first henna session on this hair so I'll probably have a few glosses from that before I do another full-head of pure henna.

I admit I'm lazy. Usually 2-3 months can go by before I remember to do my roots. Ideally I'd like to do it monthly because fresh-henna on a blonde is wayyyyy different than henna+roots but I'm just not that focused. I'll wake up monday morning and go !@#$ I forgot to henna! :doh:

I Henna once a month for conditioning purposes, since my hair is natural dark, I am not concerned with the color, although I love the reddish hue in the sunlight.
