If you don't know whether it really was 100% all natural ingredients (you can't always trust the box), there's a good chance that using chemical coloring on your hair will melt it.

That red in the after photo is exactly what I've been going for for the past two years or dying my hair with traditional color. SO GORGEOUS!!!! Sorry I'm a little behind everyone else here, but I was just wondering if you could tell me exactly what product you used so that I can order it.... I clicked the link you left in the above comments but got a "site under construction" page. Hey Elaine!

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 23:05:40 +0000 http://www.handfulofhenna.com/blog/?p=51#comment-332 The best way to get Paramore red is probably a combination of bleach and normal, chemical hair color. :) The closest you could get with henna would be to bleach your hair and then henna over it twice. Your first application will start out orange. Also -- it's totally not worth it to bleach henna out of your hair if you've done it more than once. It's so hard on your poor head!

Wed, 27 Jul 2011 22:27:46 +0000 http://www.handfulofhenna.com/blog/?p=51#comment-330 I haven't, but using henna over an existing hair dye wouldn't necessarily be disastrous -- the color just might be a little different than what you'd expect, as it's blending with both your natural color (on the undyed roots) and the colored length. Just remember that henna is a trial-and-error process, so be patient with it. If you get good quality henna, it won't harm your hair, it's just that the actual end color can be difficult to predict.

Keep in mind that the color might turn out slightly differently on the hennaed hair than on your roots, though. Nope, going darker is easy — just color right over it.

I want to go darker and so I was wondering that if instead of bleaching could I dye a synthetic black over it? Or is it necessary to bleach it first?
