Hi henna/cassia users! My natural hair color is around a level 6, I think (honestly not sure) and I'm contemplating switching to a henna/cassia mix on my roots to get a lighter color near my face than the deep auburn full strength henna I'm working with now (which I love, but is a somewhat intense contrast with my skin tone). Below is a pic of my virgin hair in full sunlight. I'm curious if anyone has hair close to this color that they have henna/cassiaed and would care to share pics of.
Here's one in overcast lighting.
And for reference, this is what it looks like with henna (I've only done one full-head application, the rest has been roots-only):

My ultimate goal is to kind of let my natural level 6 shine through a bit more. I'm keeping the auburn lengths for sure, though--if I do switch my mix up, I'll do a gradual transition. Any and all thoughts or pics welcome!

Alewyn, I don't have pictures handy right now, but when I was using 50:50 mix it came out more coppery looking, less red
