: Hi Henna Explorers
: We all know henna looks redder on hair of lighter colors rather
than
: dark colors, so I was wondering what would you suggest dark-haired
: people use on their hair to lighten it so the henna appears redder
: faster?

If you want to do it the natural way, lemon juice and sunlight does
the trick. If you're willing to risk peroxide (strand test every
single time you do it!) then it can lighten your hair reasonably
safely over henna or be hennaed over. However, the red you get from
peroxided hair is more of a copper than a true red, and it has to be
kept up.
