: So...here's the situation:
: I dye my hair with a store bought dye. I want to switch to henna
: products for many reasons. How should I go about doing this
: switchover since I can't use henna over my current dye without
: disaster? Should I have a colorist "strip" my hair and then henna???

Don't strip your hair! Henna over stripping, as I understand
stripping ... will give you the notorious frog butt green! Henna is
chemically very different from aniline dye, and reacts very badly with it!

Start harvesting hair from your hairbrush and try henna samples on
that. I'll get the (almost free)samples up on the site this week, so
you'll have something to work with.....
