Can I get blonde highlights over light brown henna dyed hair?

I was really stupid and dyed my light blonde hair dark brown, Now i want it back to blonde. I got some highlights about to months ago and then did a blonde henna dye over the top which made the dark colours slightly lighter and the light darker, now ive just done another wash and its chestnut brown, I want to get more blonde highlights in about 2 weeks time, would it work?Can I get blonde highlights over light brown henna dyed hair?
henna dye has to come out on its own, its just like when you dye your hair with koolaid for a red effect, you have to let it come out on its own, but my friend got a special shampoo the get it out faster, i think you can find it online for cheap and i think the blonde highlights dont help cuz they're not your real color and you'll eventually have to get them out as well.Can I get blonde highlights over light brown henna dyed hair?
HENNA is NOT compatible with conventional coloring. Sometimes what is called 'Henna' is a blend of 'Neutral' Henna (Stems and Root) with natural coloring agents (Chamomile, Marigold, Coneflower, Indigo) and / or dyes (FD%26amp;C Yellow, FD%26amp;C BLUE, Acid Violet) this is touted as a ';Natural Alternative'; to Artificial Hair Dyes but, the evidence is that Henna and other 'Natural' coloring agents can cause allergic reactions and skin/scalp irritations as well. The Henna contains a combination of ingredients that slightly penetrate and stain the cuticle of the hair as well as COATING it to make the hair look thicker, smoother and shiny. This coating is not easily removed by shampooing. It makes the hair resistant to Perm and Color chemicals so they may 'Take' VERY UNEVENLY or not at all. And some brands of Henna contain METAL SALTS (Mercury, Lead, Silver, Copper, Iron Etc.) to give a longer lasting color effect that REACT VERY BADLY with conventional Color and Perm Solutions causing severe hair damage and breakage. NEVER PERM, COLOR Or BLEACH Hair that has been treated with Henna - See a professional and bring the container of Henna you have used so they know how to properly treat your hair.





Hope This Helps.


Good-Luck!!
You CANNOT dye, bleach, or perm or other wise chemically process hair that has henna on/in it.





I'm not sure if you would be able to use lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, or citric acid to acheive highlights or strip the henna out of your hair.


Here is a link of beauticians that understand henna and may be able to help. If you go to any hairdresser: they may not understand henna.
I would suggest you go to a professional and have them test your hair to see if you can put highlights in. Henna doesn't react well with other chemicals and stays in your hair for a long time even after the color of it fades. If you get highlights be sure to tell the person you used Henna on it or you may end up without any hair at all.
first of all,the henna will have to be removed by a professional ..go to a beauty school if money is an issue..
it says on home dye packets not to use on henna dyed hair, ring uo a hair dresser they will advise you
