: Couple of questions: Does anyone find that repeated applications
: cause the colour to even-out all over, as I would hate to end up with
: a flat single colour? Also, anybody experienced with henna-ing red
: hair know whether the orangey tones ever completely go away with
: subsequent applications? I don't see a lot of difference with the
: hairbrush tests that I repeated on OR the ones that I left in for
: hours and hours ( I got all this colour in just 1 hour!)

I'm pretty sure you won't get a flat color. My grays have turned to
transparent red-brown; my browns are darker solid brown, opaque
unless I hit them with light at the right angle. So your brown strands
and your blond strands will always be different colors. On top of that,
your hair will get shinier each time you henna, so the tiny differences in
direction between strands of the same color will turn into highlights.
