My chemical hair color + henna outcome.

2007 - 2009: For a few years I dyed my hair blue/black when demi and semi permanent hair colors.
2009 August: I did a permanent dye (still blue/black) to my hair one time. It totally dried it out.
2009 - 2010 spring: I used temporary hair color rinses
2010 Summer: I stopped coloring my hair.
2010 October/November: My first henna treatment in almost eight years.

Since most of the demi and temporary color grew or washed out, the top of my hair is my natural color which is a dark brown with mild sun highlights. The part of my hair that's still black-black is the several inches in the back.

The henna color is fine for me. I see some red, especially in the sun. No funny shades of orange (except for my few gray hairs). Also with proper conditioning, my hair is not dried out. No damage.

I think the orange hair fear comes from having bleached hair, but don't quote me on this.

With that said, I would still see who else responds and shares their experience with dyed hair + henna before taking the plunge.

so i checked the thread and it was really insightful, but maybe i read over it wrong, so if i use indigo and true henna on chemically dyes hair it shouldnt be bad

Hi CiaE, you will be just fine doing henna over chemically dyed hair. I colored my hair with a box dye in November to try and cover my stubborn grays. After doing some research, I did my first henna about three weeks ago and my second one yesterday. If you have gray hairs, the henna can turn them a bright copper color that will tone down over a few days. The rest of my hair is a dark brown with very nice reddish highlights. You can also check out: http://forums.hennapage.com/. They have some really great information there.

It didn't effect the already dyed hair except that when I used the box dye (medium golden brown) it only took on about an inch of hair from the roots and rest of my hair was a dark brown color, almost off black from previous not so good dye jobs. lol. After the henna, where my hair was medium golden brown (also where most of my gray hairs were), is now a very pretty brownish reddish auburnish color. Where my hair was a dark brown/off black, it's still dark brown but with red highlights in it from the henna.

What is your natural hair color and what dyed color do you have in it now.

also, one thing that I had to learn is that henna is not a chemical and is all natural, so you don't have to worry about any adverse reactions that you would get with doing box dyes. Also, the wonderful thing about henna is that you can do it as much as you want; its fun to play around with the colors and the intensity.

The box dye that I used, not the henna, only took on the first inch or so. Since your dyed hair is very light brown, unless you use Henna & Indigo, you'll get an all over reddish-brownish color. I'll try and take a pic so that you see my results.

Hi Cia, so i learned that I really need to figure out how to get a picture from phone's camera to my computer - lol. the pic isn't the greatest, but hopefully you can see the differences in color. The reddish-brownish color closest to my roots was the hair that took the box dye that was a medium golden brown and had the most grays in it. The darker is my hair where the box dye of medium golden brown did not take, but it has the red highlights in it from the henna. I hope all of that makes sense Very Happy

girl im still trying to figure it out too! But i try to send it to an email... but yea it makes sense so the henna made the chemically dyed hair dark red and ur regular hair color just highlighted red right? I wish there was a henna that would do everything without the color change lol i think bentonite clay is the best thing close to it

You can try a cassia treatment. Sometimes its called neutral henna, but there is no such thing as neutral henna. Cassia will dye very light colored hair with yellow or blonde tones. You won't see any change on dark colored hair, but you get similar benefits to henna. The other difference is henna benefits are permanent and cassia benefits only lasts about 3-4 weeks. But both can be done multiple times without harm.

Hi Cia, on the gold part, the henna would probably turn it a copper reddish color. Below is a link that will give you some visuals of other peoples hair with henna. Some of their henna mixes are a little more complicated than what I do, but at least you'll get a pretty good idea of the color henna will deposit on your hair.

if you don't want the color from a full henna treatment, but the conditioning benefits you have a couple of options.

Option 1: henna gloss = henna that has not set for dye release, mixed with conditioner of your choice. some people also add honey and EVOO to it. I usually do 1 - 2 henna glosses a month and the conditioning effects are great!

Option 2: Amla or some of the other Ayurveda powders. my personal favorite is amla because it rinses out easy. With amla, you can either use it by itself or also mix with a conditioner.
