: Sorry to hear about your experience! You should know, however, that
: black "henna" has chemicals in it that natural (brown) henna does
: not. Please don't write off natural henna - it is worlds away from
: the black stuff.

The above post is exactly right.Also, true henna should never be used
over previously dyed hair(probably the reason for the green) and
hennaed hair should not be dyed with chemical dyes at all. You've
either got to go one way or the other (chem. dye or henna) until the
hair has competely grown out to natural uncolored hair. But, I guess
you already learned that the hard way. I feel for you. I've had to
have a few extra short haircuts in my time!
