Thank you both. My natural color is quite red and I was surprised at how much the hendigo toned it down. I may along the road start tapering the indigo whenever I decide to stop coloring my hair to kind of grow the color out like a reverse ombre.

Gorgeous hair! I love the little bun. You mentioned a preference for all one color. When I had this problem, I used Nightblooming's method to lighten the length. It took some of my natural brown out, sort of out from under the henna. I think might would for a natural blonde, but I'd certainly strand test first. Alternately there are some herbs that impart a bit of other color. Perhaps adding one of these to your mud would give a result you like. It wouldn't be an exact match, but closer to the rest of your hair. My result wasn't an exact match, but so close you can't see a demarcation. Are you using pure henna?
Again I love your hair. If you ever take a front picture with that little bun l, or a closeup I'd love to see it.
My hair is lighter than sammich’s, it’s an ash blonde!
There are some hair color recipes like that.in melissa lyn herold/nightshade's book. She sold a custom dye mix in her Etsy store. Not sure she still does.

Oops, clearly I haven't checked this thread in a while! Thanks for the shout outs!
My hair is pretty dark brown, with an ever-increasing sprinkle of silvers. I actually just did my roots at the weekend, so can show you what it currently looks like. As with all henna-ed hair, it varies pretty wildly according to lighting - this is about as red as it ever looks, in fairly direct natural light:

This is it in less direct, natural light:

It's fairly uniform from root to tip, but this photo makes it look darker at the ends because of how the light hits it:

I hope that helps whoever was thinking of dyeing their dark hair with henna!
Oooh, the henna adds such a nice warmth to your head dropstitches! Lovely
Thanks, Jane99! The warmth is one of the things I love about it - my natural colour is quite cool-toned, especially since the silvers showed up. Heres an old photo for comparison - taken peak awkward pixie grow out!

Hello girls,
I am a new one and I donīt know, if this site is still active. I hennayed hair maybe 10 times I think (I do henna every week because I want beautiful red colour). I tried Egyptian Five herbs henna, Sahara Tazarine, BAQ Rajasthani or BAQ Raj henna, I tried Ayiumi henna or Auburn Henna from Henne Color. Any of this colour not go to red, everything I have to coppery tones. I tried only henna with water, henna with acidic things, with hibiscus powder, without. I tried application immediately after mixing and application after dye-release (18 hours). Every layer I had on my head about 4-5 hours. For me nothing changed. I dont know If I ever get the really red colour, nothing coppery.
This photo is actually of my colour. Nothing like red. I thought that so many application can do my hair redder. :confused:
