Answer 1

If you used a real henna, you should be able to layer on another shade of henna without damaging your hair at all. Henna is actuall good for your hair. However, if it was actually a chemical dye, you may want to consider going to a salon to make sure it's done right this time. Thay may layer a dark rinse over it to soften the colour, which I think is the less damaging way to do it. They may also strip the colour, but if memory serves, you won't be able to color it again right away.

Hint: DON'T buy cheap hair colour unless you want cheap results.

As far as Prell goes, I hadn't seen an actual bottle of it in years but they do appear to still be in business. I suppose with all the other, higher tech products out there, Prell fell by the wayside. I love Garnier Fructise and it's not as expensive as a lot of brands out there, but when in doubt, even the cheapest baby shampoo will always give you decent results.

I messed up my hair pretty bad once too. I went to a reputable (also expensive) salon and they fixed it for me. I didn't have to hack it all off either. I don't think Prell is all that great, but the new line by SunSilk is pretty descent.

Answer 3

similar experience happened to me... i used mineral oil on my hair... warm it up and cover yoru hair in it! leave it wrapped in a plastic cover for 1 hour and then wash it off with shampoo & condition your hair((then you can do what i did which was dye my hair the same day with a store bought loreal feria hair dye my hair became elasticy when i washed it off 5 days later but im using Joico -K-pak reconstructor on my hair and it workes!!!!!!!!)) OR the next day do the same thing and shampoo your again and repeat for 5 days this should help the henna come out just enough so you can dye your with eitehr at a salon or store bought dye so your hair looks pretty for the wedding! Then also buy k-pak shampoo/conditioner and treatments it really cures yoru hair! (amazon.com has it cheeeap) good luck!!!!!
