Hopefully made a convert - now how do we deal with her hair?

I promised K a scalp massage (exciting new book on Indian head massage
arrived this morning), and she's pretty much capitulated and agreed to
let me henna her after the exams finish (three and a half weeks). The
good news is that she already has a pair of old glasses she can wear
while being hennaed.

OK, here's her hair situation. She naturally has dark brown hair, and
she's been playing around with chemical dyes for years. In January
she had bits of it bleached and then dyed scarlet. I've not seen her
in a couple of months, but she says the scarlet is starting to fade,
showing the bleached hair underneath. It's not all of her hair, just
bits on top mostly. Her hair is now chin-length. We'll do hairbrush
and strand tests, of course, and won't be using that nasty compound
henna, but I thought it was worth checking. What do people reckon is
likely to happen to those bits, and any ideas on how long we should
leave the henna on for?

And please, someone, ideas about using agar-agar?!
