: anyone tell me how (with what ingrediënts) I have to mix red henna
: powder to get my hair really red.

Sorry to say that if you're thinking natural red (Irish red!), it
just won't happen. Henna is translucent, so it adds to your natural
colour. With hair your shade, you WILL get a gorgeous auburn (which
will also likely suit your skin and eyes better than a natural red,
since I've always noticed henna looks much more natural than chemical
dyes), but a bright red is impossible because it's lighter than your
natural shade. Also, there is no such thing as 'red' henna or any
other colours...it's all henna, it's ALL red!
