Yes, I read that the other day as well. Here it is, posted by 'guest':

Okay, so here is what I did.
1. I henna-ed my hair a total of 3 times.
2. Decided I wanted an ashier color so I used colorfix then did a buxus cassia mix over night.
3. Woke up rinsed and felt the color was too dark. Did a strand test with 40 volume bleach peroxide for an hour - the color came out perfect dark ash blonde.
4. Put the same bleach mixture in my hair for an hour- it came out with streaks of teal and special little patches of flaming orange.

What can I do to fix this? Will baq henna cover the teal?


This result doesn't suprise me really. I had a similar strand test result some months back (and promptly lost interest in Buxus!). As far as I can tell, Buxus is just the baby sister of Indigo - and the family likeness is pretty marked!
