My hair is quickly recovering from my abuse to it because of that and regular hot oil treatments. Shea Moisture products are also fantastic. I use a mix of coconut oil, Jamaican black castor oil, and a few drops of lavender essential oil (for scent) in mine. I also recommend hot oil treatments for anyone who wants to soften and moisturize their hair. It's pretty much the only thing that can actually restore hair strength, and many salons offer it as a treatment on its own. PS: I highly recommend an Olaplex treatment for people who have treated their hair as badly as I've treated mine. And as I've told many people, I care a lot about my hair, but in the end, it's just hair. You can either cut your hair or bleach it and hope for the best. Let's be realistic: once henna's in your hair, it's not coming out. I don't recommend treating your hair like I've treated mine. The henna is a lovely peach pink color, and I'm sure if I bleached my hair one more time I could go blonde, but I think I'm happy where it's at right now. Unfortunately the bleach also had effects on my hair texture and health, but more on that later.įor my streak I used color oops, manic panic's bleach kit, and manic panic in cotton candy pink. The only thing that had any effect on henna was bleach. It makes your hair smell awful and does nothing to "shrink the dye molecules." If you read the instructions on color oops, it makes it very clear that it is not for natural permanent dyes, it is for artificial dyes only. In my experience, color oops does NOTHING to henna. Reading online there were lots of recommendations of color oops to shrink the dye molecules of henna, and then to bleach afterwards. Did you About reviewer ( 62 reviews) Age25-29. ![]() I found that it was pretty effective, although it did not strip out all of the colour - I went from a soft black to a very dark brown. This would require "removing" the henna, bleaching my natural color, and then dyeing my hair. I used this product to help strip out my permanent black hair dye. ![]() I was sure that the henna I had used was good quality, pure henna, so I decided to take a risk and attempt to dye a streak of my hair pink. Even if you promise the henna you used did not have that in it, they will refuse (with good reason- people are liars, and sometimes people are just wrong.) Many hairstylists will not dye over henna because of horror stories of hair falling out or turning green because of reactions between the metallic salts some manufacturers use to alter the red shade henna comes in. ![]() I hadn't henna'd my hair for several months (about four inches), but I knew that henna was widely regarded as permanent and impossible or even dangerous to dye over. And I was a little, well, bored of my color. I hadn't had a haircut since my wedding, and I was very happy with how Shea Moisture (my shampoo/conditioner/everything of choice) was treating my hair.
