I think you can henna everyday if you want, but I would wait 3 or 4
days in between myself to see how the color oxidizes out. Your hair
color will darken over a couple of days as it oxidizes. Also, I find
I get a much deeper color penetration if I leave my henna on for
longer. I started out overnight and have been backing it up...I only
leave it on for 4 hours now.

I add cloves to my mix. I thought it made the color slightly
darker/not orangey when I did my first hair tests. Now I keep adding
it because I adore the smell. I agree that you should look in the
mixes section for hints, but I think people are adding black walnut or
indigo to make the color darker or more brown.
