How do I make my homemade henna produce much redder colour?

Question

Any suggestion?

Answer 1

more warm color such as orange, red of course brown alburn, etc.with peroxide like 40 volume. half and half shake a few time very easy and slowly mixing it slowly with one finger over the top of the bottle applicator. good luck...oh and leave on for 20 min. do a test strand if desired.

Answer 2

I dont know what you are using your henna for- skin or hair....
for skin- after mixing in your tea - let it sit for a couple of hours and then add tea tree and lavender oils. mix it really well and you will have a fantastic. apply to skin and sit for 6 hours- apply oil to remove- voila!
for hair- add a thick dark black tea that has sat for a few hours and then some coffeee. mix the henna up really well and apply to the hair- (be sure not to get it on your forehead or ears!)- wrap hair in plastic wrap and blow dry it periodically to get it nice and warm. leave on several hours and then wash out. some people rinse with vinegar before using water- but that is up to you if you can handle the smell.
dont use peroxide please- that can hurt your hair. you dont need to do that.
