Personally, I love fromnaturewithlove's henna - it's great stuff!!
I also like the idea of splitting the thread into three 'sections'....

Hi everyone. I have been hennaing now for a year in April. Some months I hennaed twice so at least 13 full heads. I tried to do just the roots last month and thought it was harder than full head. Is it ok to just keep doing full head henna treatments? I mean, I probably couldn't get much redder on the ends and it is a nice burgandy now. It may be beneficial for the condition of my hair. I just like doing the full henna. What do you think?

The color on the older growth will continue to become more of a burgandy color. At least that's what happened to me.
Then again, I didn't know at the time *not* to do a full head app every time, so I did full head apps for at least a year.
If I had to do it all again, I would do full apps only a few times a year.
But that's just because I like the redder color. It's a personal preference.
Plus- I hennaed over previous chemically colored hair. So I'm sure the hair was more porous to begin with and grabbed more of the henna.
You can't really notice the color difference too much on me unless I pile my hair on top of my head, so it really doesn't bother me.
What I do for the conditioning- I will do a full head glossing with the leftover henna for about an hour. Conditions without really adding anymore color.
HTH!
Thanks KK I am also hennaing on old chemical dye. I do not think it can suck up more color. It think my hair is as red as it is going to get.

I've been doing full head applications since I started henna'ing - mind I have exceptional dark (and color resistant) hair, so - I can't tell if it's getting 'darker' at the ends or not.....but I love how it makes my hair feel....

I henna'd my hair for the second time yesterday, even though I am sick and had a high fever. That being said, I was kind of out of it when I washed the henna off and didn't put gloves on. So one of my hands is now noticeably more orange than the other.
I no longer have one-inch roots, though. Yay!
Anyone have tips for just henna'ing the roots? I'd like to try that next time.
