I'm totally new to henna. Got my Twilight samples in the mail today and did my first henna strand test. I think I may have gotten it a little too runny. I put in very hot water, a tiny bit of apple cider vinegar, a drop of olive oil and a dash of cinnamon.
I don't know if I waited long enough for good dye release. It looked dark on top and green underneath when I ran a spoon through, but I think next time I'll leave it a few hours. I left my hair in there for four hours and it didn't turn green! :D I was worried about that with my chemically colored hair, lol. I can tell no difference at all right now from my colored hair to my roots, so that was also good.
How many days should it take for it to settle into the actual color? From what I can tell right now, I'm very happy with how it came out. I didn't know what to expect.
