wow...I'm not so sure I know the answer to this one. i tried it on
my hennaed hair, and my individual result was not any noticable
change...

I don't think the lemon/chamomile will go through the henna and
lighten the hair being protected bt it.

Henna is like a transparent film...the final color will be the
starting hair color with a transparent red "shield" over it.

You would do real good if you posted this same question in the forum
to Catherine Cartwright-Jones: she is working towards her Ph.D in
henna (I didn't even know there was such thing!) and has been
hennaing her hair for years.

If I were you, I'd just run a simple strand test and see what
happens.

Would lemon juice or lemon and chamomile lighten hennaed hair?
: Would it lighten the henna, or just the hair underneath?

: : Chamomile won't lighten your hair alone, but it does revive
golden

: don't
: : think it can. On the contrary, I've found it quenches the thirst
: my

: : It also smells very nice!

: : If you want to lighten your hair, mix half lemon juice and half

at

: : Put it on and go outdoors to let the sun work its' magic on the

: : It takes a few days, like 4 or so.

: : I tried it myself!

juice.

: : : Also, if it CAN lighten alone, without lemon, is chamomile
: : damaging
: : : or drying to the hair as lemon is supposed to be?
