    Grey-to-Blonde is pretty hair-friendly. Look into cassia -- it's often called "neutral henna," but it's a different plant and leaves a golden tint to the hair. People have gone from grey to pale blonde very nicely with it.

    There's a website that sells it at hennaforhair.com that's pretty well thought of. It's also a very undamaging way to color your hair since it doesn't open the hair shaft to deposit color by lifting the cuticle.

    Hi Gerlinde,

    Could you tell us what you are using to color your hair now? It would also help to know what color your roots are and how much gray you have (50%, 75%, etc.)

    Thanks! : )

    Yes, henna is the way to go. It thickens hair and makes it silky and strong. Do keep in mind to get the pure one. In your case, find henna that's been mixed with rhubarb root or other natural ingredients in order to get the blonde color you want. In any case, you might want to do a strand test to see whether you like the final color.

    However, I also read that it's safest to wait at least 2 months after using the usual coloring before using henna.

    I've used it for sometimes now. Although I was hesitant at first as I heard henna will change the texture of curly hair. But I didn't notice any difference.


    Hope this helps.
