Who should NOT use henna in his/her hair?
You should NOT put henna on hair that has been straightened, permed, dyed or bleached in the previous year. The results can range from peculiar to catastrophic. Goat vomit green, frog butt green and swamp bottom black are the most common color results. If you have used ANY commercial hair dye in the previous year, harvest your hair from your hairbrush and henna your spare hair to see if you get the infamous frog butt green or if enough of the chemical residue has rinsed out that you get nice results! Henna over Synthetically Dyed Hair = DEAD HAIR! I do mean dead. You can’t fix it. This is “Shave your head and join a nunnery” dead hair! Start over. Grow it again. How do you know if henna will make your hair totally beautiful or totally sucky? Try some! Mix up a little bit of henna and try it on hair you’ve harvested from your hairbrush.
