: Hi;
: If I dyed my hair about 2 and 1/2 months ago, and want to henna it
: now, are there any precautions I need to take?

Do a strand test. Cannot stress this enough! Take hair from your
hairbrush and henna THAT, and see the results. 2 and a half months
is pretty recent to be hennaing over dye.

I have a medium brown
: now, and want to make it lighter.

Henna does not and cannot lighten hair. No ifs, ands, or anythings.
It will ONLY make your hair redder.

Also, after henna-ing, how long
: does the color last before washing out?

Henna is permanent. It will not wash out. Fade some, yes, but
that's it.

: Thanks...

No problem. I also suggest reading the FAQ, linked at the top of the
page.
