I have been contemplating Henna for several months and am still a little unsure if I want to take the plunge .

Here is a link to a photo of a model with the color I am after

...sort of a dark strawberry blond.

I wouldn't mind if it was slightly darker or redder, but that is the general color I would like. I realize henna is very unpredictable and imprecise. I would just appreciate any opinions/ advice/ ratios if this is achievable with my hair color (see album for my color.)

I am currently thinking of doing a swatch with 50% henna 50% cassia. Maybe I should try a gloss first, or do a mix with a higher percentage of cassia. Thoughts, advice, or ?
