henna on EXTREMELY damaged colored hair?

About a month ago my colorist destroyed my hair by applying a
chemical dye twice in a row. My hair is horribly damaged from root
to tip. I cannot wash or brush it properly because it is fried and
breaking off. It is the worst hair damage I have ever seen, it is
amazing I have any hair on my head. If I were to cut off all the
damage I would have a crew cut...

NOW my question:

In about a month and a half I am going to have my hair cut. Some
damage will be removed but much will remain. Since I will NEVER use
chemical dyes on my hair again, I wish to use a brown dye over my
red dyed hair to blend it with the roots as my naturally brown hair
grows in..

-Is it safe to used henna on hair that was chemically dyed 2 months
before?

-Is it safe to use henna on SEVERELY damaged hair?

Thanks so much, I am brand new to this and have a lot to learn!
