What does a newbie need to know to color hair with henna?

First photo is my current virgin hair, second photo is a bonus of a red I did years ago (with my perfect baby boy Ron). I don’t expect the same red by any means, I’ve dyed my hair at home all sorts of colors but I’m allergic to those kinds of products now and I’m so bored with my natural color.

In my opinion one of the beauties of at-home dye jobs is that you can’t really predict what it’s going to look like in the end and from what I’ve seen on this sub it sounds like henna on hair varies quite a bit.

Can anyone recommend a good starter guide to using henna for hair? Or any tips and tricks you wish you knew before you used it for the first time?

I’d also love recommendations on cost-effective places to buy henna for hair, I’m in the US for reference!

TIA :)

Need some guidance on starting to use henna for hair!

Long time lurker, first time poster. I’ve seen all sorts of brands/suppliers for hair henna and I was hoping to get some solid recommendations for my hair. I’m located in the U.S.

First photo is my current (virgin) hair, second is the vibe I’m hoping to get to (plus my cutie baby boy Ron). I’ve had red hair for a lot of my life and unfortunately I am now allergic to most hair dyes and hair dye related products so I’m wanting to pivot bc I feel so boring with my natural hair. I don’t expect the henna to turn out exactly like the other dye of course, but any recommendations to get even kinda close? Or just general info I should know before committing? I’d be fine if it just turns out orange too I just want to make sure I have all the information I need!
