i'm a new convert to henna but i haven't officially tried it yet.
although this site is extremely informative, i'm feeling
overwhelmed. i have EXTREMELY processed hair. (bleach on top of dye
on top of bleach...) i really want to go to henna for natural
coloring and conditioning, but have experienced some trouble in my
tests. light mountain med brown mix (i used before discovering this
site) turned my test green on the blonde parts. then i bought pure
body art quality henna, and it turned my highlights BRIGHT orange.
i've been reading the site, and have come to the conclusion that
walnut powder might be the way to go, with red wine as the acidic
liquid along with black tea... any advice on measurements or words
of caution before i begin again? does it matter that the top part of
my hair is bleach blonde, the next layer under is an auburn brown,
and bottom most layer is dyed black? also with greys coming in? the
colors are cool, but my hair is really begining to show the damage...
notice the all-too appropriate subject: chemical nightmare!!!!!!!
