Aquamarine, I use henna every 5-6 weeks or so to cover my grey hairs. It works wonders. Soft, shiny, strong hair.
I have used Lush's henna called "Caca Rouge" (bright red) and "Caca Marron" (chestnut). Both came out fine, but the first one was a little too red for my taste. The grey hairs really stand out, they turn bright copper. It is just the look I was aiming for when I used to color with semi-permanent dyes - a highlighting effect.
Lush's hennas are pure, natural. The different colors are achieved by mixing henna with ground coffee, roots etc. There are many good brands out there, just remember to look for something purely natural without metallic dyes.
The grey hairs will be covered completely and it lasts forever.
The only downside is, that if you don't like the henna and want to go back to regular dyes, it's very likely that your hair will turn green (at least that's what I've read). So once you start using henna, you have to be committed to natural hair colors for a long time. I know I'll never go back.

FlowerHair, where do you purchase Henna and is is hard to apply. When you say it lasts forever do you mean that the grey never returns? Just thought I'd ask. My mom is always looking for ways to dye her grey and the rinse that she uses usually washes out after a couple of weeks. TIA.
