: I have ash brown hair naturally and when I henna it, it comes out a
: nice reddish brown color. However, I was wondering if anyone knew a
: way I could lighten it safely before applying henna so I get a more
: orange red? I assume that bleaching kits are too strong, but what
: about something like sun-in or lemon juice? Any ideas?

If you'll scroll down a bit, I used a bleaching kit on my hair last
night and love the results. Information is in the thread
called "excited!". I'd already tried sun-in and lemon juice, but my
aversion to sunlight didn't help. I did use the sun-in with a
hairdryer, but that was next to worthless. With my hair (baby-fine,
stick-straight) the lemon juice made it hard to handle (it felt like
hairspray when it dried).
