Hi AshMita,

I used Catherine's henna and it is very good quality I am just not
happy with the darkness. I am now trying to strip the color by
using stripping shampoos for awhile and lossening the henna by using
coconut oil. Will try a box dye in a few more weeks. Will do a
strand test first though. As you can understand I am very nervous
about doing it. Thanks for your response. By the way I will be
trying a dye called "Herbavita" - it has henna and is a gentler hair
dye very low concentrations of the bad stuff. Thanks again.

: 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

quality

: Good luck with the bleach! Maybe you could do just chunky
highlights
