Valerie-

Can you tell me what your mix is? I've got brown roots and chemically
red rest...I tried a brown mix and it didn't work....how much of each
did you use and how long did you leave it on?

: : First off, let me state I CAN'T WAIT to do my hair (and am
planning
: on
: : doing it this weekend). Second, I have done a number of hairball
: and
: : strand tests and all have come out wonderfully!! Third, I am a
: GIANT
: : weenie and am wondering ( and I know it will not REALLY happen
: but...)
: : what if my hair were to turn frog butt ugly ass green? Would
there
: be
: : anything to do about it? I find that coddling my neuroses and
: having
: : answers to most questions (even the stupid ones) keeps me from
going
: : totally around the bend and needing my own medications.
: :
: : Thank you so much for any info and I'm sorry for asking a repeat
: : question that I'm sure has been answered a number of times (and is
: : probably lurking somewhere on the site and I just didn't find it!)

: Dear Krazee, well look on the bright side, if your hair does turn
: frog butt green, you will be ready for halloween :)) But seriously
if
: your tests have come out well you most likely have nothing to worry
: about. I have hennaed over dyed/then bleached/ then a change of
mind
: to dark/ to another change of mind to light (yes more bleach) until
I
: finally came to my senses and stopped! Then I hennaed and my hair
is
: in great shape, if you can believe it after all that. My only
problem
: was that the bleached part really took to the henna, where as my
: naturally dark brown hair and root line turned a lovely dark
auburn,
: so I was quite bright there for a few days, quite blinding in the
sun
: because the henna imparts such a shine to your hair. But after the
: first 4 days the color darkened. Also I have been using henna
indigo
: mixes to bring the bleached color down to a dull roar, and its
: working out great. I now have a darkish red with not such a
noticable
: root line, its looking more natural all the time as I get the color
a
: bit darker. So if I can henna over all that, Im guessing you will
be
: safe, but Im new at this, so Im just telling you how it affected my
: hair. I don't think I have read a post yet, where someone didnt
like
: the results. Hope this helps a bit...
