I used to love to use henna on my hair, but once I discovered how cool highlights could look, I switched to having a great stylist color my hair. I agree that reds fade more quickly than other colors; I have mine touched up every 3 weeks, with highlights and lowlights added in a few times a year. As far as damaging the hair, I haven't noticed a thing. My hair has been much healthier and thicker since I switched to Bumble & Bumble hair products a couple of years ago.
Redheads *do* have more fun, BTW...
