Hi!
Before using henna, I had blonde highlights, especially my tips were
very light, the rest of my head was dark brown.
I´d wait for at least three months after a chemical treatment before
using henna, then you should try some small and hidden section of
hair. I did not have any problems covering the highlights, but they
fade out a lot faster than darker hair(I started with red henna,
after washing three times my tips were dark copper instead of reddish
brown). Try 1/3 red henna(dyes deeper than the black), 1/3 black
henna and 1/3 indigo, mix with strong (and hot!) black tea, 2
tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice, wich should turn your hair into
very dark red/brown (rouge noir).
You´ll have to redo the treatment every 3-4 weeks until the color
stays( takes about 3 months), using more black henna and indigo if
you want to go darker .
Make sure not to use hair styling products, chemical hair masks or
other because it damages the henna layer around your hair and makes
the platinum color shine through again.
Remember that every hair is different and nobody can tell you for
sure what color comes out and whether or not it makes your hair
thicker and stronger, but it definitely improves shine.
