Do tons of testing!!!!!You know what happens when you mix baking soda and vinegar?
henna is acidic, and peroxide is basic.
Wash your hair many times between bleaching and hennaing.. wait a
couple of days too (give enough time for any chemical irritation on
your scalp to fuly heal). When you feel ready, try a vinegar rinse on
a strand of bleached hair. If that goes ok, then do a vinegar rinse
(vinegar may irritate your scalp too) on your whole head and let it
sit for 1/2 an hour to make sure that every bit of peroxide has been
neutralised. do it twice if you have any doubts. then do a henna
strand test and see what happens. give the strand test a chance to
rest for a day so the henna oxidises and you can see the final colour.
blond will become flaming orange-red
tell me how it goes, I'm curious!!
have fun, kim
