Coloring hennaed hair

[pinkchocolatedaisy]

Ok so I've pretty much been a henna head since this past September. I love the color! But I got a little lazy for a minute and I have like 4 months of black roots LOL! I don't know if I will still keep up with henna. Its alright...just not really all that amazing for me beyond the color and bc I noticed even w amla my coils got stretched a lil more than I liked.But I want to dye my hair with a dark brown dye. And don't say indigo... I barely get by using henna w/o the side eye from DH lol. So my question is: is iok to use reg dye over henna? I did use BAQ henna. Has anyone done this?

I read somewhere that it's not okay, but there was no explanation or anything. Hopefully others chime in.

Bumpin' for ya.

As long as you were using BAQ henna, it's okay.

yep, you can color over henna'ed hair! i did this for a while when i was relaxed. as long as the henna you used was 100% body art quality, then you will be fine.

i've henna-ed lightened hair, & lightened henna'ed hair, & my hair was fine.

however, the previously henna-ed hair will still be reddish, and it is impossible to remove henna's red stain. so if you dye your hair brown, be prepared to have brown roots, & reddish brown hair.

I agree with poookie, I dyed hennaed hair and hennaed dyed hair. You will have a reddish tint. Once I hennaed over my lightened dyed hair I used a semi-permanent mocha color and it came out dark reddish brown.
