In reply to: Hair turned orange/blonde where the gray was; what can I do?? posted by Margo on January 28, 2004 at 22:25:01:

: I have medium to dark brown hair with about 25% gray.
Unfortunately,
: I didn't realize that the henna would grab onto the gray much more
: than the rest of my hair. I have ended up with somewhat
: orange/blonde where the gray was. The rest was essentially
: unchanged. Is there any way to get the orange/blonde hairs to be
: darker? Or is there any way to take the color out? The package also
: said that this would be semi-permanent, washing out within 3 months.
: Is that not true?? Thank you all for any help!

Wait a few days and henna again, this time adding some cloves to the
henna. I hennaed my beard and got bright red sideburns, then a week
later I hennaed again and they turned dark red - they don't match the
rest of the beard but they're closer.
