Well, after my big 24 hour panic (see post below), I freaked out and
bougt some Light Mountain Henna in "chestnut" and re-colored mhy
hair. Big mistake!! It turned a brownish color with a green cast.
After washing it a "million" times, it was still a browninsh color
with a green cast. (must be the indigo --- I have had the exact
same problem with Lush henna in "brown" --- and the green tint
lasted 3 months until I re-henna'd it "orange" the other day).

So, my husband objected on me having green hair AGAIN, and I re-
henna'd it with the leftover henna from my initial henna (my husband
said he liked the "orange" hair).

I am thrilled to tell you all that my hair is now a nice shade of
Cinnamon Bark. I absolutely lOVE it!!! It is much darker than my
origional color (about 2-3 shades darker) but the color is fabulous
for my skin tones! I am just wondering what I will have to do to
maintain this color and how to re-dye the lighter roots to match the
darker length.

Now, I thought I'd wait a week or so and try that highlighting "kit"
that someone previously recommended.

Thanks everyone for your support!
