I know this is a very old thread, but the issue is not "out of date" by any means, so I hope it's ok to resurrect it
I was happy and excited to find an actual thread about the "combination" way, i.e. using both henna
and chemical dyes! I just posted yesterday about this on a thread in the Henna section, which, now that I think of it, was not a very good place to post it
(but I was responding to another message there)... I'll just repost the main parts of my message:
For me the thing is, I love the effects of henna, the shine etc, and the fact of it not having chemicals, but the true colour of henna is really not what I want, not anymore, it's just too orangey - or with repeated applications, too burgundy/dark, which I don't like either. So at the moment I'm thinking that perhaps I could use both! Henna for conditioning benefits (and a bit of base colour), and chemical dyes to tone or fine-tune the colour. I wonder if there are others who do that, i.e. use both henna and chemical dyes?
