It really depends how resilient your hair is... When I was dying my
hair with *gasp* salon hair dye, it took 40 Volume and 2 hours to
bleach my hair to a light yellowish-orange. (I have natural thick
hair and lots of it.)

Do what they do in the salons... Add peroxide and completely cover
the hair on all sides, then leave uncovered for 15 mins. Rub a
little peroxide off the hair to test the colour underneath, then
reapply peroxide to the area if its not light enough yet. Repeat
until you're satisfied!

I thought using peroxide and other lighteners on hennaed hair was a
no-no... Besides making your hair a really light coppery-orange
colour. But I haven't hennaed my hair myself, so I'm only guessing :-
