Roots about every two months or whenever the roots bother me. :)

Once a month. Done that for a year now. Maybe I should some day learn how to do roots only :D

Once every 1-2 months, depending on when the roots start to bug me.

Every six to eight weeks, depending on how my roots look.

About once a month - still can't get the hang of roots only applications.

when you do full head instead of roots only, does the color change near the ends so there is demarcation??

My ends do get darker but henna blends really well - I've never got a demarcation 'line' so to speak, and since my roots are dark anyway the whole head looks pretty much the same. So, at least for me, there's no problem with just doing all overs every month. I think it might be slightly different for someone with light/grey roots.

Depends on how on the ball I am. Sometimes only once every two months or something, or as many as every weekend for a month. Full head applications. The only reason I have a fairly clear "demarcation line" in my hair is because of the naturatint black dye on there. Otherwise it would be a smooth gradient from red roots to black ends.

Henna is a natural (RED) hair dye. It also strengthens the hair for some. :)

I haven't done my whole head since April. I've done my roots 3 times since then, with the 3rd time today. So once every 1-2 months.

now settled into a set colour i'm doing it once a month partly for roots and partly because it's good for my hair :D gives it a treat.

My roots start to show and bother me after two weeks. I'm going to try alternating roots-only touch ups and allover for condition and shine.

Every 4- 6 weeks, mostly roots only.... if a'm feeling audacious, I do a really nice& wild direction colour in between.

Once every 2 to 3 weeks. The roots drive me crazy - which I guess is good cause it means that it is growing quickly.

Every two to three weeks - but roots and probably half way down my hair - the roots drive me nuts - they are VERY grey - and a whole head whenever I have enough left of my mix which is about every 2 months as my is hair is thick - but I love it.

Though a couple of months ago decided to go grey, but changed my mind and went back to my mistress henna - she owns my hair!

Something like every 6 months or so. My roots aren't noticable to anyone but me, unless I put the ends (which got hennaed a few too many times) right up next to them.

About every two months. First pure henna at the roots and down to the ears, then after rinsing this out I do a full henndigo application.

I henna'd 4 times so far, every 3-4 weeks, full head application.
I wonder if I can continue that, for the moment I don't see a difference with my ends, and I like doing everything at once...

When I was younger I did the whole lenghts every month. The roots were hardly notoiceable, I had naturally red hair that was a tad lighter. Today I have nearly 100% white hair and I do roots every two-three weeks, and a gloss all over afterwards. My hair grows like crazy so I'm beginning to see the roots after three days or so, but I don't let it bother me too much. When I'm sure it is all white, then I'll let it grow out that way. Or maybe not :D

Full henna every six weeks to 2 months,depending on how much the roots are bugging me.

That sounds like a great idea. How long do you leave the first application of henna only on your root area? This seems very time consuming, but my natural color is much lighter (and some grays:()
than my henndigo hair color. It takes 2 henndigo applications to my roots to get the color I want so normally I do a root only application 2 times a month with a full head application every 8 weeks

roots every month
complete hair every 3/4 months ;)
