    Default Red hair, dye vs. Henna?

    I loved having my long red hair. Originally it was hennaed a red-auburn, and bright fire engine red in the sun. I wanted my sunlit hair to to the colour of my hair all the time, which led me to chemical dyes. My hair is naturally a dark auburn, but more of a dark mousy brown than anything. This meant chemical dyes never got me the colour I wanted, no matter how light or bright of a red I chose. My hair now (2 henna applications on virgin dark mousy brown hair) with flash:


    without flash:


    and the chemical red I loved, but was a bit obnoxious. my biggest complaint about this was that I needed to bleach my hair to accomplish it. This is no flash, but a very bright room (brighter than the above picture):

    Now, the red I'm looking for, without flash, but a well lit room is:


    I would like to do this with henna. I heard that honey lightening may help to lighten my hair. I don't know though if it would be possible to honey lighten and use henna to achieve what I want...:


    Any ideas? Open to suggestions on how to achieve this (hopefully with minimum damage)
