Sure thing! I'll email you text and pix. I'll also take some pix of
what I did yesterday, too - bleach/peroxide to a yellowy white, and
pink Manic Panic over it, in a few places. I'm also planning on
trying just indigo on a bleached-out-white strand...

: : I do know for certain that I bleached my hennaed hair with no
: : problems. I'm currently sitting here writing this with a mix of
: : powder bleach and 30 volume peroxide on a strand of hair to get
it
: : close to white. Then I'm going to use pink Manic Panic on it. As
: : long as you do a strand test beforehand just to be absolutely
: : certain YOUR hair can handle it, you shouldn't have a problem.
: :
: : As for a pre-made henna mix, you really should do it yourself.
That
: : way you know your stuff is freash and will give you optimal
results.
: : When you buy henna mixes at the healtfood or co-op, you never
know
: : how long it's been sitting there going stale (they dust off the
: : boxes y'know). Have a look at the mixes page - there have been
good
: : results with henna followed by indigo and the people themselves
tell
: : you exactly how they did it.
: :
: : If you continue to henna regularly, you won't need to stress
over
: : this or that conditioner - you'll have shiny and body to your
hair
: : no matter what you use, thanks to the henna.
: :
: :
: : : First, I want to say thanks to everyone who responded and
sorry
: : that
: : : it took me so long to respond to the responses. What I guess
I'll
: : do
: : : after reading the replies is go for a darker henna mixture- I
guess
: : : one with more indigo? What would be the best (preferrably pre-
made)
: : : mix? Any suggestions? And I think there were mixed responses
on
: : : whether or not I can bleach a few highlighted blonde streaks
into
: : my
: : : hair at a salon after a couple months. Does anyone know for
: : certain?
: : : Thanks everyone.
: : :
: : : -Greg
: : :
: : : P.S. This is the first time in my life I've had longish hair.
: : Hennaing
: : : it was a last resort to not cutting it all off after thinking
it
: : : looked funny on me. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good
: : : conditioner.. one that could perhaps add a little weight to my
: : hair?
: : : Thanks a <I>TON</I>!
