I've been using red surya henna cream and powder for 2 years. Can I get my hair highlighted and bleached at a salon without getting green hair?

At least 4 months should pass from your least henna treatment. After that you can do anything you wish

Yes! Just make sure you have let two weeks pass between processes. Also I would just keep an eye on it just in case. Usually in a salon they would do the coloring first then the treatment. Good luck!

I did! I henna'd my hair for the first time, and a couple of weeks later realized it was way too dark for me so I tried a light brown permanent color and it worked fine.no problems whatsoever.

First can you tell me if you just used straight henna or did you mix with Indigo? If you just used straight henna then you will not be able to lighten it will stick. Regular shampoos that have sulfate in them will strip them a bit but if you have gray that might not be what you want. You can try honey, which carries natural peroxide in it and it will lighten it over time and give it highlights but will alter your red to a golden color which may not be what you want. If you are mixing with lemon it will lighten a bit but be careful with that cause the combination will make your hair a bit dry. let me know if u have any other questions.

Yes! You have to do the henna first. Leave it on for about 2-4 hours and then apply indigo to rinsed hair. Leave it on for 1-2 hours. Good luck! The results are beautiful. Also, keep both mixtures like pancake batter(moist) and use a shower cap to keep in from dripping. Once it dries it no longer deposits color.

This is pure henna powder and it is a much larger quantity than what is sold in beauty supply stores. Yes, you should use gloves because, just as henna stains your hair it will also stain your skin. The brush is optional. Use it if you think it's helpful. I just use my gloved hands.

If you're wandering if you can use it to do highlights then yes you can you just need to cover your red hair with something like tin foil or something along those lines. The box comes with a bleaching brush so it makes it easier to do streaks and or highlights.

Yes u can, whatever color your getting (If your hair was colored blonde) the color will really pop & you'll be able 2 see it clearly. If not, is won't lift it tht much. Henna is juss a stain/dye, a color on top of color. But the color brightens after a few days once it oxidizes.

I am not a licensed beautician just a customer. I have made the switch to henna and my hair is doing better than ever. Henna is safe in the sense that it will not hurt you in any way. As far as getting the same results as Loreal that is different. The color may not be the same. Also, Henna is a rinse not a dye. For similar results to Loreal, such as evenness and how long the color lasts, switch to an organic dye. I switched to the organic dyes first. They can be just as drying as the chemicals. I then switched to henna because it leaves your hair soft. Unfortunately, you have to use it more often because it rinsed out. I am not a licensed beautician just a customer.

Indigo is not permanent and you have to repeat using indigo every 2 weeks. I stopped using indigo because I am allergic to it and it made my hair fall out. I was tired of red after using henna for a long time. To cover the red I dyed my hair black which is also my true hair color. You can see a little bit of red on my gray hairs even though I covered them black but the red is significantly reduced.

I suggest using something else my experience with henna was terrible my hair turned light blue than gray it took me a year to get some sort of normal back to my hair if you go to a professional you may have more luck and in the long run for me would have been cheaper cause after you use henna nothing else will cover it.

I'm not sure if you're asking what color the henna is or what color it will die your hair. The powder is green... its derived from the leaf of a plant. But it will die your hair red. Pure henna is always red. If someone's selling any other color and calling it henna, its not pure henna. You can read everything you ever wanted to know about henna at hennaforhair.com

Depends what you are trying to achieve. If you bleach it all the way to blonde then henna over it, in addition to the bleach damage you will probably end up with pumpkin-colored hair. You could try just using a color remover to get close to your natural color, but even then the henna will look different on your virgin roots than on your dyed ends. When I first used henna (not this brand or color, it was just henna with no hibiscus powder) I was applying it over about half virgin hair and half chemically dyed a shade very close to my natural medium brown. The dyed ends soaked up a LOT more henna and were a much brighter red, but somehow it all blended nicely into a cool ombr effect rather than a harsh line of demarcation.

I tried it. And while it is a great conditioner, it is really not the best for hair color. Even with the two step, your hair turns really red, and the indigo makes it look purple when its fading out. But of all the hennas I have tried, this is THE BEST conditioner. You notice the softness and the shine most of all, but the color is not great.

It would be possible but also troublesome. Using just this product will give you an orange-red shade so you would have to use indigo after. This would require testing to see how long you would have to leave on the henna and then the indigo to get the shade you desire.

No, it's 100% pure henna powder. I use it to dye my hair; can't have any additives in the henna for that.

No. This product is simply a lot of different kinds of oils. Nothing that would damage your color. If anything it makes it shinier :)
