anyway.....

: : I have light red hair that is fading and I wanted to make it
more
: : vibrant with some henna. I used the Hennalucent in sunset
orange
: : (it's a blend of henna and other things but no peroxide or
: : ammonia). Boy is it ever sunset orange! I did a strand test
with
: : hair from my hairbrush. I let it sit on the strands for 45
minutes
: : but it was too dark red. I liked the shade, but just wanted it
a
: : bit lighter. Since I didn't have anymore strands from my
hairbrush
: : to use, I decided to just leave it on for the minimum time of 20
: : minutes. It is now day-glo neon orange. It might be nice if I
was
: : a punk rocker! I thought about getting more and putting it on
: again
: : for 25 minutes (at least the shade on the strand test was a
normal
: : color). Would this over-process my hair and makes things
worse?
: : I'm not sure what to do. I know hair dressers hate henna and
: : putting chemicals on at this point would maybe not be a good
: thing.
: : Any suggestions?

: Your first mistake was using Hennalucent, which is crap in a box.
: Your second mistake was not doing a second strand test when you
: didn't get the result you wanted the first time around. It would
: have been better to do another strand test with less time and
checked
: that.
:
: Now, can you do it again? Sure, if you wan't. Henna doesn't
process
: your hair, though to be frank I don't know what the hell is in a
box
: of Hennalucent besides henna (remember, ammonia is NATURAL, crappy
: chemicals being called henna are not) so I won't reccomend it. If
: you were to get a hold of some real henna and use it on your hair,
it
: would tone down quite a bit. You're right in not wanting to go to
a
: hairdresser--since Hennalucent doesn't really say what's in their
: box, it's unwise at best to put chemicals on it.
:
: Give it a day or two. It will probably tone down some, and if you
: still hate it, get another box of your poison of choice (or get
real
: henna, there are plenty of suppliers in the links pages) and try
: again.
