Hi!

First of all, I feel like finding this site has been some sort of
divine intervention: I was looking online for ways to get my hair
bright red using conventional dyes, and I found this site. To think
that I was about to fry my hair, endure the smells and dangers of
whatever Target had on sale, just to watch the color fade in two
weeks. I never knew henna could impart such lovely color, and
as a bonus, it makes hair pretty instead of crispy! Yay!

Here's my question: My natural hair color is med-to-dark brown,
with lots of red tones. I am looking to get my hair a nice, rich red,
bright as possible. I know that "bright" may not be achivable, but I
would like to try. What should I add to the mix to get the brightest
red? I don't mind if it leans orange, but I don't want a blue red.
Also what amounts should I use in the mix? I have been reading
the mix page, but many people don't include every spec of
information I am seeking.

Thank you for any and all advice!
Ellie
