I'm not sure if it is just the henna color building up over the
course of 20 months of monthly henna treatments or what, but I have
noticed that henna has gradually been making my waist length hair a
very deep auburn. This is much darker than my natural light brown
color, and I was wondering if I should just henna my roots next
time. I did not think that I would have roots with henna, but I
notice them within 4 weeks. This color seems too dark for my pale
complexion. I only left the henna in my hair for 3 hours, instead
of the usual 2 hours but there is a big difference in the color.
Will repeated washings with a clarifying shampoo help make the color
not so dark, and bring back the brighter red it was a few months
ago, or just make the red fade too? I really don't want to resort
to nasty chemical hair dye. What can I do to bring back the
brighter lighter red? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
