Hello everyone :)
I have been reading some of your posts and am very impressed. I am
trying to grow my hair out, and its doing quite nicely (considering
where I started from!) Anyway, I was highlighting my hair using
regular hair bleach, but have since decided I do not want to be using
harsh chemicals on my hair anymore. I hennaed the bottom two thirds
of my hair which had some bleach in varying intensity but left the
top part alone which is the most highlighted. I was scared of what I
would end up with but the bottom two thirds turned out nice. I am
wondering , do I dare risk the top part too? I know once I do, I am
committed. But what i really want to know is if the henna turns out
alright, will it be beneficial to my hair over the bleach or do it
more damage?
I hate the way the bleach tends to make my hair oily. Also it has
been about 3 months since I used any chemicals on my hair. I would
appreciate any input you could give me on this subject. I do want to
switch to the henna for the health and beauty of my hair. I dont want
to end up with thinning over-processed hair after a time. Any
suggestions and information would be much appreciated. Thank you. I
am really enjoying your posts you all sound very health concious.
