Just googled the site Latifah offered and checked the ingredients in my dye. Its been about a 1 1/2 months since I dyed my hair. Soft Sheen Carson hi Rez dye has:

• Developer contains hydrogen peroxide.
• Colorant contains p-phenylenediamine, resorcinol, ammonia hydroxide.
• Do not use over compound henna or progressive color.

The henna site mentioned that your hair could turn green if your dye hasara-phenylenediamine PPD

The site says mostly all dyes out have some level of PPD in it.

WHAT DO I DO When my starts to grow, color fades or the rusty grays start to come in? How long should I wait before putting a henna in?

I dyed my hair with natural-tint and I henna'd over it. No problems for me. I think you should do a test with a couple of strands of your hair to determine. If youre not looking for color dont add anything acidic in. Sometimes henna will give a light stain anyways but it wont be as vibrant without the acid.

Henna is a conditioning plant, it strengths and nourishes the strands. For me it acts like protein by weighing the hair strands down and appearing to loosen the strands unless I deep condition really well. I alway prepoo first, then deep condition afterwards.


Tonight I'm mixing up my henna with, amla, brahmi , maka, and fenugreek powders. My liquid of choice is Hibiscus flowers boiled in distilled water then cooled, I will be adding in some acid because I want a hue to my hair.
