Consider these Factors Before Using Henna on Hair:
The Colour of your Hair
You may get yellow, copper or titian red overtones—but rarely lighter than your natural hair colour. While hair may turn a bright orange, but other vegetable dyes such as walnut husk, indigo, or alkanet may be helpful to tone down the colour.
If the treatment is repeated periodically, the results will be better and the color more penetrating, even on white or grey hair, which require repeated applications to achieve natural looking results.
Your Hair Type
Some hair absorbs color easily, others are more resistant, and still others react unpredictably, resulting in altogether unexpected colors.
Type of Henna used
Like all natural products, henna varies according to the country where it is grown. For instance, Iranian henna is slightly different from Egyptian. Indian is similar to Moroccan, but different from Indonesian, and so on. Even regional climatic variations and soil within one country can affect its properties.
