Advice on toning down henna redness after indigo has washed out
Hello!! Humbly coming back to this sub to request some advice…
4 weeks on from my one step henndigo and the henna redness is coming through… indoors its not too bad but in direct summer sunlight i think it looks a bit unnatural and veering too much to red/ burgundy rather than brown. I guess the indigo has now washed out of my hair and the henna is shining through? 🥲
I suspect the more ‘fiery’ colour is appearing mostly where the henna is sitting on top of chemically dyed hair and/ or my temples where I have a higher % of greys.
Is there any way I could tone down the red at this stage? Would amla on its own work to tone the red down a bit without making the overall colour too much darker? Or would I need to mix it with henna to make it stick, meaning I’d end up darkening my overall colour?
Or maybe I just need to repeat henndigo to bring back the brown? not sure if this is the way as worried about how much darker my hair will get, hmm…
I’ll try experimenting with hair from my brush first of course, but very grateful for tips on what to try next!
