I do know for certain that I bleached my hennaed hair with no
problems. I'm currently sitting here writing this with a mix of
powder bleach and 30 volume peroxide on a strand of hair to get it
close to white. Then I'm going to use pink Manic Panic on it. As
long as you do a strand test beforehand just to be absolutely
certain YOUR hair can handle it, you shouldn't have a problem.

As for a pre-made henna mix, you really should do it yourself. That
way you know your stuff is freash and will give you optimal results.
When you buy henna mixes at the healtfood or co-op, you never know
how long it's been sitting there going stale (they dust off the
boxes y'know). Have a look at the mixes page - there have been good
results with henna followed by indigo and the people themselves tell
you exactly how they did it.

If you continue to henna regularly, you won't need to stress over
this or that conditioner - you'll have shiny and body to your hair
no matter what you use, thanks to the henna.

: First, I want to say thanks to everyone who responded and sorry
that
: it took me so long to respond to the responses. What I guess I'll
do
: after reading the replies is go for a darker henna mixture- I guess
: one with more indigo? What would be the best (preferrably pre-made)
: mix? Any suggestions? And I think there were mixed responses on
: whether or not I can bleach a few highlighted blonde streaks into
my
: hair at a salon after a couple months. Does anyone know for
certain?
: Thanks everyone.

: P.S. This is the first time in my life I've had longish hair.
Hennaing
: it was a last resort to not cutting it all off after thinking it
: looked funny on me. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good
: conditioner.. one that could perhaps add a little weight to my
hair?
: Thanks a <I>TON</I>!
