Hi guys, first time poster long time lurker. I have been a Hennahead for over 3 years and a half now, and loving the Henna affects. But I have noticed that my hair got pretty dark (to many full head applications in the beginning I guess, because now I only do roots, and very diluted Henna on the ends for just 30min). I have gone through most of the "Henna lightening" posts here, trying everything from Vitamin C, Honey lightening, honey+cinnamon lightening (!burned my scalp and face as heck!) and lemon juice. At some point I was so frustrated that I even did a bleach bath (just 10min, was too scared to do it for longer), risking to damage my hair (while I am trying to grow my hair as healthy as possible going natural with my hair products and really taking care of my hair... so yeah... I really had a weak moment there). AND EVEN THAT DIDN’T HELP like I wanted! My hair went a little more to towards a brownish color instead of orangey that I wanted!
So now I am clueless, don’t know what to do anymore. I guess I will just have to wait it to grow out, and try to go VERY light on my Henna applications (no more than 30min on roots from now on).
Just so you understand where I’m at with my hair:
Direct sunlight:

And where I would like to be:

Any tips or at least words of encouragement? :/
