Coppery red for me - but I don't need to lift mountains for that, I get that quite easily due to my middle brownish natural color
Golden or coppery red, absolutely.
As close as a True Red I can get it!
Burgundy/wine red all the way!
Its all good for me/it doesn't matter much
Other (please explain)
I prefer my henna in the colour of Cheese
Just wondering ! Us hennaheads will often lift mountains in order to achieve the "right" shade of henna red, so... what kind of results do you try to obtain?
Also, also: sorry for my grammar, as usual. I should have probably written as close to a True Red it can get

Back to midback!
Im naturaly fair, so the coppery colour isn't too difficult for me. I do pop a dash of cinnamon and honey in most of my treatments to keep it from the burgandy realm....
Now measuring in at 37 inches, or BCL. Classic by Christmas '15 is a real possibility! Yeah, that's my clothes horse in the pic. I'm that glam.

I've stopped using henna now, but when I did, I mixed it with cassia to get coppery red. (About 60% cassia I think, but I haven't done it for over a year, so I can't quite remember)
I love dark red henna, it wasn't hard to get last time I did it I just mixed my henna up with tea with hibiscus flowers in it and left it in my hair for 6 hours.
Hip!! Hoping to make TBL by the end of the year.

I prefer my henna on the warm side -- even though I think I may be cool complected, it suits me better than the burgundy tones. I would love to have light, coppery hair but my natural color is too dark. However, the grays I am starting to get are that color.
I am always chasing that gorgeous dark wine color.
I prefer a copper red, because I think it suits my complexion and age better, but I'm happy as long as it's red. (I was strawberry blond until my 20's when it turned ash brown, so that might be another reason I'd like it lighter.) Still, if my hair is copper, bright red, or auburn; I'm happy as a clam. Currently, my hair is auburn with bright copper temples. Thank you God, for the gray on the sides to break things up.
henna keeps it red, and red makes me happy.
Pixied for 15+ years and liked it.
Growing for fun.
Looks like I'm in the minority wanting a true ("Ariel") type red. That perfect shade that lies between copper and burgundy. I was overzealous in the past and over-hennaed and got myself to burgundy. But I'm trying to phase that out by only doing my roots now.
