I have seen it mentioned a few times to go over the greeninsh tint
with a red henna, does anyone recommend any 1 brand over another,,
or have tried and true favorites? I have made the mistake of using
Mountian Light, and I am not incredibly pleased with my green tinted
hair. Yikes! Does a molasses/baking soda mixture help ease the
green?

suffered

: 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

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

to

: 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.
