Got it.

You might want to share your expertise with Moon Havester above,
though, as it seems he/she has a good question. If I was incorrect
that bleaching henna'd hair could possibly turn it more orange, you
should probably let her/him know. Of course, as I recommended,
experimenting with some hair from a brush is always a good idea. But
again, I would encourage you to get back to Moon Harvester above, as
you obviously have a ton of great information to share.

Certainly I didn't mean to perpetuate any myths, sorry about that.
In the future, however, you might consider not using caps when
correcting others, just to ensure that people feel this is a
welcoming place to learn about henna. I don't know why, but caps
tend to come across as yelling at some via the internet. Weird,
maybe, but I am not the only one that feels this way.
