In reply to: No More Henna for Me - Going to take it out completely posted by Marisol Colon on February 7, 2005 at 16:53:05:

I am sorry henna is not working out for you. I too am growing out
chemo trashed hair and doing henna over it. My roots are dark
brown. My roots do take the henna and get a nice red hue in the
sun. Have you tried adding indigo? Have you used body art quality
henna? The mix that I use is listed on the mixes page under Ashley.

Good luck with the bleach! Maybe you could do just chunky highlights
and dye over that? It would be less hair!
