I have bleached my roots to even out the gray with what little color
I have left before hennaing. make sure you have all the bleach
neutralized and rinsed well. I personally would wait a day or two in
between, but it is up to you and the condition of your hair. ONLY --I
repeat ONLY use body-grade henna or you WILL end up with frog-butt
green hair. and realize that bleached hair has a rough cuticle and is
damaged--so go lightly on the acid developer mixed and henna(cider
vinegar or lemon juice)--if at all--and it will take up more pigment
but it will be on the lighter brighter end of the color spectrum.
treat your hair very gently for a couple of weeks and massively
condition it.
