It will make them go BRIGHT orange-copper, most likely. I'd do a test
strand on them, because you don't know what is in your friend's henna.
It could be pure henna (which probably wouldn't cause any problems
with the bleach or dye in your hair, though you can't ever be
positive), or it could be henna and any number of scary or benign
things (any or all of which might react to the bleach and dye). If
you're lucky, and your friend has pure henna, and your chemical dyes
are non-reactive...you'll be getting lovely brand new copper penny
bright orange highlights.
