Just thought this might be helpful for anyone else who has suffered
a greening of their hennaed hair. I haven't used any synthetic dye
to cause this and the henna I use is definitely free of mettalic
salts (I use Lush henna). I think it happened because of styling
products such as a gel with glittery bits. And I think its only the
bits of hair that had a high proportion of "brown" indigo henna.
This happened to me before years ago with a different brand of brown
henna and indigo mix.I think that indigo has a stronger tendency to
turn greenish gray.ANYWAY here is the good news. I put a red henna
over the greeny bits and now nearly all of the green has gone/been
covered by nice copper chestnut. I did use a clarifying shampoo
several times beforehand to get rid of any of the styling products I
think caused it.
