Thanks for ideas everyone. I may try a semi-permanent color first as
Shelly suggested, then gradually go back to the box dyes. I also
plan on doing a lot of apple cider vinegar rinses and oiling with
coconut oil (by the way coconut oil is the only oil that penetrates
the hair shaft - just like henna does and it's excellent for your
hair) to help me dislodge the henna a little. I hope it will help
because I really am having second thoughts about that bleachig
process. Thanks for all your help again.

I didn't suggest a semi-permanent color, and never would... Shelly 18:18:47 2/8/2005 (0)
