    Default Can you help me identify the hair colour shade?

    Hi, I am transitioning from henna to chemical hair dye and I am thinking about the right shade. The other day I was watching The Duchess with Keira Knightley and I really liked the hair colour she had in the movie. Of course, it was a wig but anyway. Can you help me identify the shade so it would be easier to find the right hair dye, please? I thought it might be some kind of a honey dark blond?

    I have no idea, but wait for someone with more expertise, I have somewhere in my head, that henna is a no go to cover with chemicals?? I don't know any details, but do some research first. I could be wrong.

    I think a honey blonde is usually a bit warmer than that, at least that's what a google image search tells me. It's a hard shade to name! And from my experience with chemical dyes, a hard shade to find in a box. Going to the hairdresser might be your best bet if that is the shade you want.

    There's no problem using chemical dye or bleach over henna (and henna over chemical dye again; trust me, I've done it both several times :P) as long as you have used good BAQ henna, and there's no indigo in the mix.

    I am glad I was wrong, I just had rmr'd reading somewhere that with henna it could be a prob, but as I said wasn't sure. Thanks.

    Thank you very much!
    That's like a mid-golden honey blonde yes. If you have previously henna'd this dye is not going to cover the henna - it is what it is. There is going to be too much red in your hair to go blonde.

    You cannot put a blonde chemical dye over henna and expect it to work. It will be anything but blonde.

    Thank you, ladies. I know it's not gonna work now on henna but I am trying to get rid of it bit by bit and get closer to my natural hair colour, which is very light brown. Of course, if nothing works I will have to go for some reddish colour instead of this. It just caught my eyes and I thought it might be a good colour in case I manage to get rid of the henna.
