Hi Dionne,
well wow I do love it!!!! its very orangey red where the highlights
were but it doesnt show up that much on the web-cam but yes here is
an idea just picture it quite orangey but ooh its so cool!hehe I do
wonder though about my dark roots they did remain pretty dark, I was
thinking in a while about lifting the root color with bleach just to
the light brown almost reddish stage about thirty minutes of
bleaching then henna-ing over that? Is that safe do you think? I have
no idea how to combine the bleaching with the henna but wouldnt want
to over bleach just a bit to lift some of the color up a little so
the henna will color reddish better . Anyway I will see if I can copy
and paste the photo on here for you. Remember its a lot redder than
it looks :)) Oh I only left mine on for 2 hours, and I didnt let it
sit like I know I was supposed to, but next time when Im not so
impatient to get on with it. Ok here goes....
uh oh I cant seem to paste it on here. Let me see if I can try a new
post if that doesnt work maybe you could tell me how you did that? Ok
let me go and try at least :)
