First of all, I do know that I can safely use henna over chemical hair dye and vice versa. And I have done so many times!
But my problem now is that I have dyed my hair dark brown at the top (like a sort of ombre-style) with a semi-permanent dark brown dye. Most of it is gone, but not all yet. After that I used a red permanent dye, which has faded a lot as well.
My question now is, if I use henna now, will that lock the darker colour in? Just to be clear, I don't want it to! Would it still be fading even after using the henna? I'm getting quite some roots and my henna needs some henna love after 3 months! I'm already washing with a SLS shampoo in order to get most of the dye out.
I really really miss my henna-red hair (my ends are still very bright copper, thank God!) and want to get it back a.s.a.p. :( I'm now also afraid that the roots might end up lighter...
What do you think? I'm even considering using a soap-cap (very mild bleach mixture mixed with shampoo)... I don't want to wait much longer because of the roots.. but on the other hand, my hair has had enough damage for now I think!
Note to self: never use a semi-permanent dark brown dye (that lasts for 28 washes, how is that ever permanent? That's almost 3 months for me! :P Should have known!)
