: To both of you:

: hair I think, so I'd be cautious. If you just want a darker colour,

: Melrose, are you after brown or red hair? You can slant the colour

so

: about hennaing it because that stresses the hair even more (heavy
mud

: hope that hairdresser has given you a lot of compensation! Henna is
: very good for the hair, but it sounds like your hair's too fragile
to
: cope with anything at all at the moment. Poor you, I'd be
devastated
: if anything happened to my hair so I do feel for you. How long is
it?
: If it's that bad, have you considered cutting it off and starting
over?

Well I am happy with the current color except that it doesnt come
close to matching my roots,therefore I would like to darken the
bleached parts, but I think indigo is out of the question. You
confirmed what I thought, but wasnt sure, that indigo plus bleach
equals green. So I will just stick with the henna but also I am using
sage and rosemary on my hair thats supposed to darken after a while,
they are also very good hair conditioners. (This I put in for
Melrose who is having such damage problems. These herbs are very good
for your poor abused scalp and hair.)
Does the henna fade out of the bleached parts or is it this color
permanently now do you know?
Thank you , Valerie
