: Hello all, I have been henna`ing mine and others body parts since
96
: and am a total HP junkie however this is my first trip into hair
: henna. Im not looking for a huge color change but mainly to improve
: the condition of my hair. Ive been letting it grow and its past my
: shoulders now. Mostly chestnut underneath with old blonde streaks
on
: the top layers which have grown out considerably so Im feeling a
: little dull but I really dont want to go back to nasty chemicals
: which really fry my hair. So I read through this site a bit and
: decided to see what I could come up with. I have lots of different
: hennas in my freezer all good body quality but I really dont want
so
: much color. I have some that a friend brought me from Egypt which
: when tested on my skin stained very poorly. So I steeped some
: chamomile tea splashed in some lemon juice and dumped in about
: 75grams of the crummy henna. Its quite soupy. Im going to let it
sit
: for the day and was thinking of mixing in a blob of conditioner
this
: evening and then trying it out...? Any suggestions about how long
to
: leave it on just for a good rinse? Maybe I should separate the
blonde

any

Thanks!

The blonde sections wouldn't turn pink, they'd turn copper/bright
orange. Someone with a bit more expertise can tell you for sure, but
I don't think your mix is...a good idea. Your hair might take a lot
more colour than you're expecting to, or at the very least you'll
have reddish/orangish tones in your hair. Wait for the cassia.
