Hi-
I am thinking of using either golden or light blonde henna on my hair. However, it has a lot of bleach in it ( my hair) with some dark roots & a little sun-in. Should I just wait till my hair grows out more or is this safe to use? I have never used henna before so which one would be best to use? Thanks for your time.

Henna doesn't dye your hair blonde. It either makes your hair red or adds red highlights in the case of dark brunette hair. However cassia which is similar to henna can be used on hair to give it the conditioning benefits of henna without coloring it.

Is this a blonde hair color with henna added? I don't know how it would turn out but I would think that the henna would add a red tinge to the blonde.

I would not recommend using this product.

Oh ok. I guess I should check out the cassia then. Can you just order the cassia about anywhere?

I'm pretty sure cassia gives a golden color to white hair.
But if your hair is dark, it won't give any color, just condition it.

You can look on the Henna for Hair site and see the casia results.
But i'm pretty sure it only shows up if your hair is very light or white.

ETA: I also think that the brand "Rainbow" has 2 types of "blonde" which contain
cassia, chamomile, marigold flowers and a few other herbs that impart a yellowish hue.
