As we all know, henna is permanent. I hennaed two people a couple of
months ago, K and J. K is a brunette, J a blonde, and both had
chemically dyed their hair, K 6 months previously and J 2 months. I
only saw the results straight after hennaing, I haven't seen J since
and K has just chemically dyed her hair again. J says that the colour
darkened down slightly but is still a glorious copper. K, whose hair
had gone a very nice reddish-brown (and the bleached bits went deep
red), claims that the colour faded off really quickly. She said that
she's hennaed in the past and the colour didn't take, although I don't
think she did it properly in the past.

I used the same henna on both, Hasina I think it's called, and it's
pure henna and hopefully is body art quality. The only difference is
that I added some cloves to K's mix. Any idea what is going on here?
