Henna users! How do you prefer your red?

I prefer coppery, gingerish, quite natural colour when I do henna. I don't really like reddish hue so I try not to layer it too much.

Well after over a year long hiatus I'm back on the henna bandwagon. My hair is naturally a light red color so one application will give me coppery red but I like it one shade darker so I answered True Red. Looks best with my skin I think

As close to true read is my choice for my dark hair! I don't like Indian henna cause it can turn plummy when it fully oxidizes, and that is why I have to use only yemeni henna. It is the only henna I find that is a consistent red and i've used it five times now so I'm sticking to this type of henna. Although, it is now getting harder to get yemeni henna these days.

As close to copper/warm mahogany with copper tones as I can get it. I wouldn't mind true red or a nice burgundy either, but I prefer copper tones.

i have a neutral beige medium asian arabic complexion and black brown hair with pure white greys.
i prefer a coppery warm henna shade as it comes warm burgundy on my black hair and copper on my whites.
but one time i used a premixed indian organic henna with amla and coffee and i dont know what and my hair turned out to be very dark cherry with my greys being pure ruby red. it suited me as well but i feel i looked more pale and strict and i prefer to look more soft, hence, coppery it is

I'm going for either true red or a purplish wine red. I don't like the coppery color on me, but its kind of unavoidable.

I'm one of the long long long term henna users who went burgundy and now is trying to go back to coppery. Only dying roots these days. The ends have just never faded!

I got dark brown hair and love the burgundy,but my grays are different shades

Copper, but I also love the look of burgundy. I'm just afraid it won't look good on me.

Hmm, I'd say I really love the burgundy/wine red colour you can get, but to be honest I like all the different shades you can get with henna. I just bought a big cheap bag of Egyptian henna. It's good quality, but that's all I know about it. It'll be interesting how it turns out when I use it.
