Hi again Katherine!

I just grabbed any old carton Red grape juice, off the supermarket
shelf! When I mix it, it's at room temperature, as opposed to
chilled, in the fridge..
To be honest, I've only ever used henna mix with either red wine
(don't do it.. it smells! lol), or grape juice, so don't really know
if it makes any difference to the colour.. but I'd guess it doesn't
make that much of a difference, really..
I think I get the deeper colour from leaving the henna slop on my
head for so long (around 7 hours) :o)

: : Just to add my two penneth! :o)
: : I leave my henna mix on for around 7 hours (because it gives me
a
: : nicer colour, than if I only left it on for a couple of hours)..
: : I use 50/50 lemon juice & grape juice.. then throw in some
herbal
: : tea, the next morning, to get it to the right consistency.. I
also
: : add a few drops of Lavendar EO (Lavendar's generally good for
: : releiving skin irritations, though I don't know how much effect
it
: : would have in such small amounts)..
: : I have sensitive skin, but I've never had any problems with my
: lemon
: : juice/grape juice mix :o)
: :
: :
: : : I would think the problem was from the long exposure to lemon
: juice
: : : ... probably made your skin sensitive. If you're going to
leave
: : henna
: : : on that long, might make a less acidic mix ... say, with
: : rainwater.
: : :
: : : I have problems with lemon juice and thin skin if I leave on
my
: : body
: : : art henna for 8 hours.

: Thanks, Dionne - any particular kind of grape juice? You started
off
: blonde; I'm old mouse chestnut-grey, with leftover dyed copper
: auburn. Would the grape juice result in burgundy, do you think?- I
: love it , but on me it would look like an ageing tart! - Blessed
: Equinox again, *)O(*
