: I've always had dark brown hair, but am now abou 75% grey (I'm only
: 28 yrs old...it runs in the family). I've used commercial hairdye
: since my early 20s. Yesterday, I dyed my hair with henna (I know
: it's pure), but my roots are a carrot orange. I dyed it a second
: time and it seems to be a bit darker. I've ordered indigo, and
: hopefully will be able to use it later this week...but for the time
: being, does anyone have suggestions regarding how to darken the
: orange (naturally) in the short term (I have an important dinner
: meeting to go to in about 6 hours!). Any advice much
: appreciated....Amelia

Ohmigosh, the pressure! lol. I know its no laughing matter. It will
mellow but obviously waiting a few days isn't what you want to hear
right now.

I personally haven't any useful advice to offer, and for that I
apologise! I just felt badly that no one had responded to your post
yet; I can't think of any quick fixes; I learned the first time I
hennaed that you only do it at a time when you're not too worried
about public appearances for a few days. To tell you the truth, on
day one I wear a bandana...

Not much use for a formal dinner situation I'd agree. If its only the
roots, maybe...mascara??? Hope it doesn't put you off. Repeated use
of henna and a few days oxidation will tone down the orange a lot.
