I too was excited to try henna, but my hair is quite dark, & it
didn't show up the first time I dyed it. So I've been bleaching my
hair naturally by dousing it in lemon juice and sitting in the sun.
It's working slowly. You could try that, but it takes some patience.

: Hello,
:
: I've read every inch of this website, and do note there was one
other
: individual questioning about Henna for the African-American Hair.
: I've learned that the Henna for the body art gives a better color
: result for the hair. My hair is virgin and black and I am
attempting
: to color it in the most organic way possible. With this, I just
: ordered samples of henna from Mehadi. In my readings, black hair
: with only henna will turn a dark checknut with red highlights.
: However, I was hoping for more of a brighter color. If I add
paprika
: (maybe a more auburn color with red highlights) or tumeric (maybe
a
: lighter chestnut with orange highlights), do you believe that it
will
: assist in making my darker hair lighter?
:
: Can someone please help? I'm excited about my new venture.
