1 tbsp was more for about brastrap length hair. I'd probably double (or even triple that) for
thigh-length. If you want some red tones - wait for dye release, if not - just skip it (I
believe you'll have the conditioning from the henna this way too - not 100% sure of it
though).

My guess is that you'll have a prettier red tone to whatever red highlights you get if you
use good quality henna. There's some risk you'll end up with orangey highlights with
lesser quality. The color is usually not permanent this way - for once, it's very subtle and
any new growth will be close to the henna-glossed hair, second, there is much less
pigment present to cling to your hair and it doesn't stick as well since the conditioner will
block some of it.
