Removal of henna - trial and error, experiences and I´m not finish

[Cmacarik]

I managed to remove half of the henna with a single crazy attempt, combining techniques from this forum. Half of it is definitely gone.
For a year, I dyed my hair with pure henna, hendigo, amla cassia, and various mixtures. In desperation, I had the hair around my face bleached "blonde" by a hairdresser (a complete mistake - the front is an ugly yellow and terribly broken). Now, let me describe it:
As a thank you for these threads, I went through all the ones about removing henna, and I'm writing to say YES!!! Henna can be removed! My proven method:
On a dry day with old hair, I applied Subrina (a hair color remover in Slovakia - similar to Collor Oops or B4). I wrapped it in cling film, went out in the sun, and lasted only an hour and a half. Then I rinsed my hair thoroughly with very hot water, as hot as I could bear. For the first wash, I used bile soap and lathered it. Rinsed thoroughly with clean water. For the second wash, I soaked my hair in a solution of baking soda and water for 2 minutes and rinsed again. For the third wash, I used Head and Shoulders with vitamin C in powder form, leaving it on for about 10 minutes wrapped again in a bag and out in the sun. Then I rinsed it again with Head and Shoulders twice and just with a sulfate shampoo to remove silicones from the previous shampoo. Next was an oil wrap with honey - coconut oil + olive oil + 1 tbsp lemon juice + 1 tsp hair lightener with chamomile - 1.5% peroxide + 1 tbsp honey + 1 tsp cinnamon + about 10 drops of Tea Tree Oil. I applied all of this to my hair, wrapped it back in cling film, and again left it in the sun for half an hour, then just indoors for another hour as the sun had already set. After rinsing off the oil wrap, a thorough treatment with a regular mask and conditioner to detangle. It was quite a hassle for half a day. Hopefully, I'll be able to add a photo of the result since I'm a newcomer here.
I'll keep trying and experimenting until I completely get rid of the henna from my hair!

Hello, welcome to the forum

This section of the forum is mainly for introducing yourself as a new member - my suggestion would be to post your experience with henna removal in a thread(s) discussing this topic, so that way more people who are interested in this would be able to see it and maybe interact with you. There is a whole sub-forum dedicated to Henna topics, and you can also search for specific threads in the right top corner of the page.

I wish you good luck with your hair endeavors and a lovely day.

Good day, thank you very much for the heads up. Yes, that makes sense. Well, I don't know what I would write about myself, just that I want to return to my natural color because...I'm starting to get gray hair, and I really like it. I'm turning 39 in a few days, and my dream is to have waist-length gray hair. Love this comunity.
Since I'm a newbie, they won't let me into the forums to comment or post much yet. I don't know how to get over 25 posts, I don't know where to contribute... Can someone here tell me how to level up? Thank you and greetings!

That´s cool, you can share (or not) anything you wish about yourself, but people usually mention here their hair journeys - current state, past woes and goals for their hair.

You absolutely can comment in any threads you see on the forum, you don´t need 25 posts for that. Here are permissions explained.

I understand why you would want to quit herbal dyes for your own gorgeous silver hair. I also plan to never dye my silvers. Not there yet, just starting with a few strands here and there.

If you have any questions, by all means, keep asking. That´s what the forum is here for

Welcome to the forums
By the way, have you noticed the forum „Hair Polls & Projects“?
It’s interesting, exciting, can make you reflect, and it is also a lot of fun there.
