Sorry if this has been brought up before! Did a quick search and didn't turn up anything, but maybe I was blind?
It's been 3 weeks (?) since I last hennaed. This statement is to clarify that I'm not washing out residue from the henna-ing.
I did a strong baking soda rinse for my hair yesterday and forwent the lemon juice because we were out. I noticed later on yesterday night that my sheets were turning a faint orange where my wet hair was.
So, my question is: does baking soda strip the hair of henna? And if it does, which I really think it might, how significant would the strip be? I have black hair to start off with, so I had to pull out the white hairs to look, and they looked a wee bit lighter than before, but that might have been my brain playing tricks on me.
If done over a longer period of time, could this be viable as a way of stripping henna, not to the base shade, but to a lighter version after it's gone too dark after too many applications?
