when dyeing your hair with henna?

i have red hair, dyed with regular hair color, and i want to change from chemical dyes to henna dyes.

i was told that i can dye it, but i have to use vinegar to keep it red.

i've used henna before, with out vinegar, and it doesnt affect my hair color, but it does make my hair softer and shinier than any reg. conditioner.

i know i have to use vinegar to make it red,

wat i wanna know is what kind of vinegar do i have to use?

my guess is white, but i'm not real sure?

please and thanks...

yea, you use white vinegar. you can also use lemon juice, that's what i use when i dye my hair w/henna. With the lemon juice, you can buy the kind in the bottle or get it directly from the lemon, i'd recommend the bottle just because of convenience wise and it's easier to measure out and whatnot. but yes, white vinegar, but anything acidic really will work. cause what it does is release the dyes from the henna. G'luck!

Rinse it with cold water! I used to have them same problem then one day we ran out of hot water so I rinsed my hair with icy cold water and it looked great when it dried!

The cold water seals your hair cuticle and leaves it shiny!

Hot water opens the hair cuticle which makes it frizzy!
