Hi Valerie

Nell was highlighting her hair, but I wasn't--I dyed my hair with
commercial chemical dyes.
(I know it's hard to notice but if you read my past entry, you'll
see it says I dyed my hair with chemical colors...)

Sorry if you didn't catch that, but I think just maybe it could
still be helpful to know what happened to my hair--I used Senna
(cassia) over my dry, commercial-colored hair(one of them was Feria,
which had a NASTY, nasty smell that made me queasy and naseous)

The result: after using senna on my hair, it stopped being dry and
it reflected more light. Since senna (cassia) has no dye, it didn't
unleash any chemical reaction.
One thing in common though--the commercial hair dyes I used on my
hair DID make my hair more lank and oily (personally I think it's
the scalp's way of "fighting back", since so many bleaches, dyes and
highlighters overdry the hair and scalp.)

If you want more info on henna over bleaches, the best thing to do
would be to post a message for Catherine Cartwright-Jones: she is
working towards her Ph.D in henna and has been hennaing her hair for
years.

I may also add that it's really exciting to use real herbs or herb
mixes on the hair: you can create beautiful colors and natural
highlights--you can go to Fia's mixes in the mixes page if you want
to know more.

Thanks for your concern, Valerie.
