I've had green (well, more camouflage) hair before.. it's not great,is it!
Mine came about when I coloured my highlighted hair, with 'dark
brown' chemical dye (before I discovered the wonders of henna!).
Because there is no, or very little, red, in some brown colours (I
don't know much about Logona though, I have to say.. though
generally, that's the case), it leaves a geen cast on your lighter
bits.
To avoid this in the first place, you can put a red colour on your
hair, before you use a darker brown, or black colour (same with
henna & indigo.. henna first & then indigo after).
Personally, I'd steer clear of any colour that had more indigo (or
other black/blue dye) in, as that could well be what caused the
green cast in the first place.
I'd think you should be ok to henna over your colour, as it is now,
but do some starnd tests first, to make sure it's ok & doesn't have
a bad reaction.
I think alot of people in here would recommend you use 100% pure
henna, rather than commercially produced stuff.. & I'd definitely go
along with that recommendation. If you can't get pure henna in your
locality, there are suppliers listed on this site, who do internet
orders. I don't know about the rest, but I've purchased henna from
Catherine & it was excellent quality.
I hope it goes well anyway, whatever you decide to do :o)
