In reply to: Re: What do you suggest to lighten hair so henna looks redder after dying? posted by Alison on August 6, 2004 at 23:41:20:

Hi Allison

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Maybe you already read this before, if you went to Fia's mixes site,
but did you know that you can push the final color result of body-
art-quality henna dye towards a *bluish red if you add Grape juice
to the mixture?
I'll try the lemon juice/sun technique.
From Jade

: If you want to do it the natural way, lemon juice and sunlight
does
: the trick. If you're willing to risk peroxide (strand test every
: single time you do it!) then it can lighten your hair reasonably
: safely over henna or be hennaed over. However, the red you get
from
: peroxided hair is more of a copper than a true red, and it has to
be
: kept up.
