Real People, Real Henna: "Angie G."![]() Angie goes dark brown with henna I had chemically treated black hair, by accident. My hair right now is dark brown with red high lights. My mix was 4 ounces Ancient Sunrise henna A mildly acidic liquid Water to make a workable paste I put the mix in a gallon size zip lock bag overnight on my counter. I then went into the shower and cut the corner of the bag and used it this way. I put a shower cap over it then a towel and let it sit for 4 1/2 hours. It was so very easy to wash out. I loved the natural smell to me it was like Sandlewood. Since these pix I have hennaed my hair three times.
