: Hello! I met a little old lady yesterday who tried to dye her hair
: (last week) with henna and is very dissatisfied with the bright
: orange/copper results. Her hair's in pretty bad shape, and so she
: can't go to a salon and have the color stripped. She can't use the
: chemical stuff...

: She's already tried the molases and baking soda trick that the

don't
: know what brand of henna she used, I just told her that I'd ask
: around.

: Anyone have any good ideas? Thanks!!!

i have to say that i love the way henna leaves my hair in color and
condition and the least thing i want is to remove all the benefits
i've got from henna, but during my research i found this recipe to
remove henna from the hair, i dont know how efective is it, but i
hope it can be usefull for the people who want it:

1.Saturate hair strands with a mixture of 70% alcohol applied with
sterile cotton balls. Avoid the scalp area.

2. Follow 5-10 minutes later with a coating of mineral oil. Apply
the mineral oil on top of the 70% alcohol. Avoid the scalp area.

3. Cover your new oily head with Saran or similar plastic. A
plastic shower cap will also work well.

4. Sit under a hood dryer for 30-45 minutes.
If you don't have a hood dryer, direct a heat concentrator towards
the hair from your blow dryer.

5. To remove the oil apply a little shampoo to the palms of your
hands and then pat on the oil BEFORE you apply water. After you
have applied the shampoo to the oil areas, turn on the shower and
lather. Use a good cleansing or clarifying shampoo. You may need to
shampoo more than once to remove all the oil and the henna. If
necessary, repeat as needed.

6. Once you have removed the henna, be sure to perform deep
conditioning treatments to restore moisture to the hair.
