Has anyone ever tried natural henna over colored hair? I have been using Nice &Easy Auburn but thought about using henna to color instead . Any suggestions?

Only to say that it isn`t advisable. I`ve used natural henna and it always says on the packet "Not to be used on colored hair". Conflicting processes, I suppose.

My mother uses henna on her hair and it`s okay but if you use too much it can cause hair loss.

Henna is a great natural hair color (it is a natural vegetable tannin that stains your hair really) and covers gray very well. However, you should NEVER put henna on hair that has been straightened, permed, dyed or bleached before. The results can range from peculiar to catastrophic. Goat vomit green and swamp bottom black are the two most common color results. If in doubt, harvest your hair from your hairbrush and try some on that before you try a headful.
