    Maybe try to remove the purple/black before bleaching with color oops or something like that.
    I'm afraid you'll have to bleach several times since the color you want needs a very pale base and henna is difficult to remove, you might fry your hair. So it can't hurt to try something less damaging before ^^

    Anyway, i love the idea, good luck

    Having bleached out henna before, I also highly recommend color oops or something like it before bleach. Manic Panic lightens well, as does any "high lift" bleach. Drugstore box brands aren't worth your time. I have found that under 2 henna applications, bleach takes it out to pale yellow easy enough on my naturally dark blonde hair. Over 2, it only comes out to a strawberry-orangish color and I have to trim to remove it. I usually bleach only once with Manic Panic 30 or 40V to get this color. Any more just ruins my hair. I wish you luck!!! I too love the unnatural colors. I just can't do them or my ex would probably try to get my kids taken away from me.

    Have fun!

    I'm not going to try anything myself, no bleaching at home haha. I'll just let the hairdresser do so when I know what's a safe go and what's not. I was afraid so that henna was hard to remove..ouch.
