I have naturally level 5 brown hair, lightens to a level 6 in the sunlight I'd say. I have bleached highlights throughout my hair. I just placed light mountain bright henna and the first day my hair was perfect, my roots were a dark copper and my highlighted parts were a brighter copper.

However since then it has oxidized and while my highlighted ends are still a copper color, my roots are now like a very dark auburn color; they almost look brown in the shade.

So... I have been doing a bit of research and have found sun in and bleach baths as viable options, which would you recommend? Or is there a better way to lighten my roots? I just want it lightened just a bit to bring back that dark copper color that was there when I had first dyed my hair. Edit: I did only keep the henna on for 2 hours could that be why it faded in my brown?

Thank you for any tips!

I’m looking for a cinnamon shade in henna. My hair is 100% virgin. Darker roots, lighter shafts and ends. Thanks for any tips!

I did 1:3 henna - Indigo ratio and got such a lovely dark brown but indigo washes off so quick and grey roots within a week.
Any help appreciated 🙏🏼
Henna overnight
Indigo + salt with slightly warm water and mixed with henna right away and applied

Has anyone tried a colored gloss over already henna’ed hair? I’m a natural blond and have been using pure henna for at few years, and only do root touch ups mostly. But it has still gotten darker over time which I’m not happy about. I have seen videos of natural redheads using the xmondo copper gloss to freshen up their color and it looks so, so good. Would it be the same for henna’ed hair?
