Thanks for the info--though I'm not trying to lighten my hair...it's
light enough, yuck! I wish it was darker. I'd love to have red hair,
but I know I wouldn't end up with something gorgeous and
natural-looking like if my hair was darker...probably bright-red and
fake-looking. *sigh* Or, I'd just get tired of it some day or run
out of money to keep buying henna or something. My hair is BLAH--it's
this dark-blonde-slash-"ashy dishwater light brown" color (I don't
think there's even a name for it), and the color always makes my mom
think my hair is greasy even when it's just-washed. That's why I
thought maybe a glossing to brighten it up and add some red (my mom
has been after me to get highlights but I don't feel like frying my
hair with bleach and I don't think chamomile/calendula would do much
for me, so I'd rather go with some henna-red), but...I didn't figure I
was lucky enough that that would work! I've been thinking of using
Cassia on it though to at least get some conditioning on it...it's
long but somewhat damaged and dry/tangly so the cassia might help a bit.

: Q.) Can hair be lightened after using Henna?
:
: A.) No. The henna color will remain on the hair even if high lift
: blonde tints or bleaches are used.

: Q.) Will Henna lighten hair?
:
: A.) No. Henna does not contain any lightening chemicals. Blonde Henna
: brings out yellow and light brown highlights. Marigold Blonde brings
: out gold and yellow highlights. Both add shine and body to grey hair.
