people treat you differently now?

Yes Fran, that is correct.  Your result would be more subtle than if you had lighter hair.  You would still have some gorgeous flame red highlights when your hair is in sunlight though

I don't know of anyway to strip henna that would not damage your hair.  You could bleach it out and re-colour over the top if you really wanted to....but then it'd be pretty brutal!  If you were not happy with the colour, it would be far better to do another application using different ingredients in your mix.  You can apply henna as often as you want without causing damage.   This is great news if you are trying to achieve a certain colour and need to experiment a little.

Good luck!

On topic (not that henna isn't fascinating...no really

I've never had short hair, so I can't do a then/now comparisson, but now I'm older, and most people who had long hair when they were younger have cut it, I get more of my school friends saying how lovely it is when they see my hair which is nice.

As far as men go...I don't have a boyfriend so it can't work that well lol.  I normally get the "wow your hair is long" from them, and that's it.  But then, I'm fond of wearing tight red shirts and low cut tops so I should be glad I'm not attracting men as they would be the wrong kind!

It would be nice to be noticed for my hair, but it's usually an after-notice, not attention seeking.

On topic... People who admire long hair are very expressive and complimentary of it...   Most others refrain from comment... most.
