I am so in love with this color!!! I still need to see how it oxidizes, but I think I have found my perfect formula.

What I did:
2g Yemen henna, dye released and frozen
2.3 g Cassia
Applied to roots and left on for 3 hours, final hour I made a gloss for the length from the remaining tablespoon or so of henna/cassia and full-fat yogurt.
Oh yeah, and I tried Jessicurl rockin ringlets and confident coils for the first time. I need to adjust amounts a bit, but oh man this stuff is nice!

And now, what you've been waiting for:

Wow...That is gorgeous!!

Henna sounds so confusing to me. You did a great job!

Wow - nice result (in spite of the fact that usually I don't much like henna).

I love it!! I'm very curious to see how it looks once it oxidizes. Congratulations on a successful Henna.

I forgot to ask, what is your natural hair color? If you don't mind.

Your color is fantastic! I love the color. I think your base color must be lighter than mine. Your color willl look great when it oxidizes.

I'm a henna head too!

Thanks everyone! I really love it!
My natural color is a dark blonde with gold highlights. The majority of the length had residual red dye that has been mostly removed. I also did a lightening last week a la Oskimosa's method. You can see in my album what is was when I first took the henna plunge.
I had been doing more copper for the roots, but decided to increase the red this time, and I think it suits me much better.
mankefam- henna is confusing at first, but the more you learn the more it all comes together. Just make sure if you do it you are certain.

Now this is some colour, lucky girl, enjoy. If i keep doing henna for a thousand years no one will notice because of my dark brown hair.
Beautiful!
