Hi I just posted a question asking if you could henna over
highlighted hair. This is what you are doing,and would you recommend
it? Im just curious how your hair turned out? My hair is med/darkish
brown (used to be blonde) hardly any grey yet just a tad at the
temples. I havnt bleached in about 3 months and just used regular
hair bleach as a highlighter but dont want to go down that thinning
road that it seems to leave, and I dont know about you but do you
notice your hair seems lank and oily after bleaching?
Thanks, Valerie.
