Hello everyone!
I've been considering going back to henna ... again ... after only 5-6 months of hennabstinence. However, I'm kinda sorta over the deep mahogany I get from henna and want something much much lighter and subtler as I feel the deep rich color 'washes me out' a bit. I don't want to go red or orange, I want to go more 'strawberry blonde' or just have reddish highlights, etc - still reap the benefits of henna while not having as much color deposition and as little as possible 'brassiness' that I had for the first two weeks after hennaing my hair.
Therefore, I've been considering mixing cassia and henna, however, I have no idea how does one properly mix those before applying it. I'm thinking about doing about 70-80% cassia and 30-20% henna. Or perhaps you have better recipe/idea? :)
Does anyone here have any experience with this? How do you do it and what results do you get? I would love to get some detailed descriptions and perhaps even pictures of the finished 'product'? :o
My natural hair color is dark blonde ... mousy light brown ... I guess.
These are the best pictures of my natural hair color (the roots) I've taken recently ...
