Step 1
mix the dye,

I used a mixing bowl to mix the hair dye

pour the dye in, and then add the juice

stir untill the powder disolves
Step 2
then cover the bowl with plastic wrap,

for about one hour to set the dye
Step 3
then wash your hair, don't condition it
Step 4
tousle dry with a tower, so its a bit damp

now apply the dye
Step 5
then wrap your head with a plastic bag or plastic wrap

wait 20 min up to two hours

the longer the better, makes its stronger in colour.
Step 6
now rinse the henna out and towel dry

Henna makes your hair a reddy brown color, depending on how long you leave it in for.
The longer you keep it in, the more intense/red the color.

I don't know about pink, but I heard that if you had recently dyed your hair with unnatural stuff, some of the chemicals can react with the henna, which can make it green? Something like that.

I've only recently heard about using Henna to dye hair red. I'd love to do this, but am slightly on the cautious side.

I haven't dyed my hair for months now, perhaps over a year and I'm sick of the crappyness of normal hair dye, doesn't make my hair that red.

I have VERY dark brown hair, do you think Henna will work?

Hmmm,.... I think the mix-up is about...

TO MAKE henna hair dye, you mix henna with an acid (like orange juice). But, in the instructions she said that she bought Henna Hairdye, which I don't think needs to be mixed with anything... since it's already a hair dye
