URGENT: Does hennaing permed hair = permanent loss of curls?
Hi girls,
I've had my hair permed about 3 weeks ago. I have very, very fine hair, and with the perm, my hair is now 2a (previously stick-straight)- the perm was a very loose one, so I have big waves rather than actual curls. And I must stress they are BIG, LOOSE WAVES that will disappear if I don't scrunch and style my hair.
I actually really love my hair like this, but I'm in dire need of my hair to be recoloured (it's currently a terrible shade of orangey-brown from having been chemically dyed red 2 months ago) and so have been hmm-ing and hah-ing over hennaing my hair.
If I henna my hair, will I lose my permed waves/curls PERMANENTLY, or will they come back after a few washes?
I'd be extremely grateful is someone who's hennaed over permed hair gives me some advice!
Thanks so much!

Calaelen is more qualified to answer than I am, but I was also going to say that henna won't cause changes to your hair at a molecular level the way perms do. It may add a bit to your hair's mass, which could drag the waves out slightly, but it's unlikely that the results would be substantial.
In general, I would classify henna as being an "orange-brown" color. I suggest you do some serious strand-testing before you put it on your head if you think the current orange-brown shade of your hair is awful.

Thanks Anje and Calaelen for the advice!
Anje, I'm looking to get it towards burgundy, so I'd much prefer deep orangey-red to orangey-brown!
Also, just to triple confirm what you guys said, I've just gotten the henna out of my hair, and I'm ecstatic to say my curls/waves are still perfectly intact!
So if anyone else who happens to be reading this is on the fence as to whether to henna and risk losing a perm, HENNA AWAY!

Hi AMW!
I don't have any pics of my hair right now as it's a little stringy since I've JUST removed the henna several hours ago, but if you're just interested in the perm, I actually got a digital perm.
I hope this link comes out, it looks sort of like this http://hairstyle.sighvogue.com/wp-co.../hair07-03.jpg
But can get curlier or wavier depending on how I style it
