: IF you have been using body-art quality henna, and IF you are picky
: about what chemicals you use to do the highlights...yes, you're
safe.
: Check my second mix in the mixes section, which should give you a
: jumping off point. I'd be wary of using any boxed "highlighting"
kits
: that give specific shades of highlights, as the dyes used to make
sure
: the highlights come out a certain shade are the same ppd dyes that
we
: are all trying to avoid. Straight peroxide/bleach mix is the safest
: in relation to henna, but it can be hard to control the shade you
get.

Thanks for the reply :) I bought my Henna from Catherine. I was
going to use bleach - peroxide. I wouldn't use those boxed kits. I
basically only want a few thin strands here and there, very subtle.
I still want to continue to use Henna for the conditioning and shine
though, I hope that is ok? My main concern was frying - burning -
drying and or frizz my hair from a bad reaction from the bleach on
Hennaed hair. Is this possible? If yes, I will leave well enough
alone. Unless you know of other safe ways to add a few golden
highlights to my dark brown Hennaned hair?
