    Default Black streaks? Or underneath? Opinions?

    Trying to revive my hair. It's been boring. I got indigo with my henna order (which you use to make black dye!). I'm putting on the henna in a minute and I'm either going to put black on the longer underneath layers or make streaks on the top of my hair. I'm thinking the underneath-black would make the henna red pop more. Yes? No? Are all my ideas lame and I should make polka dots?

    I think the pic works. Pls ignore the unclean mirror.

    If you ever decide to use anything different (color wise) than henna in your hair again please make your stylist aware. Color results can be unpredictable once someone has used henna.

    I know. I really wanted to go lighter but it would take effort!

    RL, I'm a hennahead too! Make sure you aren't doing the whole head root to tip every time - or else the ends will get darker over time. Also, honey will help to lighten henna. Natural humectant, too, so it will be softer.

    GL with your hair! But ditto about telling a stylist. Green hair isn't cute on very many people.

    I said under as well. I was actually thinking of putting red or medium brown underneth on mine (black hair), so we'd be the exact opposit, ahah.

    Hmm I was doing the whole thing because my ends were a lot lighter than then the roots. Maybe I'll start just doing the roots and the very grey parts.

    Well, your ends may be lighter to start with, so you should henna them til you're even. Then just do the roots and a little of the length to keep it even. A silicon spatula and pointy chopstick work wonders for applying! The henna never fades, so it just keeps building up and up and up.

    OTOH, my ends have thickened up to match the rest of my hair, so it's a toss up.

    ^Best place to get it is hennaforhair.com. Commercial hennas often have metallic salts in them that will ruin your hair. H4H is 100% fresh henna.

    Yup. I get the henna from Yemen. Seems to be the best (for me).
