Here is the before and after. Before is 100% natural, virgin hair. After is from day one after a 25% henna 75% cassia mix (made with chamomile tea), left on for 3 hours. I am currently referring to it as "weasley orange" but I love it and I am just waiting to see it after oxydation!

It looks very pretty, like a shiny new penny.

I like that color! It is Weasley colored isn't it. Your hair is definitely more shiny now!

Oh, it's beautiful! I absolutly love that color.

Wow. that is the hair color I want. :heartbeat: So pretty. And as your starting hair color is just a smidge lighter than mine, it may be achievable....(Sorry, not trying to hijack your thread). Thanks for sharing; it's lovely!

That is lovely! It's amazing what kind of variety you can get with different heads and mixtures!

And hte great thing about henna is that under different light it looks a different shade- so it is flexible too!
I love both hair colours but the after picture is definately more glossy looking.

wow... :agape: that is very very pretty! If you ever start to long for auburn/fire engine red hair we could change;)

Wow, such a nice color after henna!:bigeyes: I want that color to :heartbeat but my hair darker...It looks amazing

Very pretty colour!
The orange sheen calms down after a few days and gives the colour more depth, but yours is beautiful already.:)

Wow, that color is gorgeous! Love it!

I wish I could get that color!!! thats exactly the color Ive always wanted!!!

The after shine is just amazing and gorgeous. I liked the before color, though.

That is a beautiful hair color! :)

What a lovely color!

And you were all worried that nothing was happening! I hope it is what you wanted, as it's just lovely the way it is.

I so can't wait till my samples come in, now I want to try a strand with more cassia!

Oh WOW it's turned out so beautiful!:thud:

Wow, what incredible color! You must be so pleased...I know I would be if I could get my hair to turn that color!

Wow. Great color!! Awesome for your first time henna-ing.

omg what a beautiful color!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous color! I love that Weasley orange so much.

your hair looks stunning. I love the color

Wow, very bright! And your hair is in such good condition, too! Enjoy :)

There both beautiful. Personally, though I tend to prefer the before color, but they both look great. The henna has a wonderful shine as henna will.

wow!!! very pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. What a lovely, vivid color. That's awesome.

There both beautiful. Personally, though I tend to prefer the before color, but they both look great. The henna has a wonderful shine as henna will.


The thing with my hair is- even permanent colours don't hide it for long. I really can't see that henna will be that different no matter what I have read. It will fade and there will be my hair again- it's always the same! :)

It is no longer the orange it is in that pic- although it is still very bright in the sunshine... lol
