Color on Mehendi treated hair

I went to a salon recently ot get my hair colored.
THe lady at the salon told me that since I had put henna on my hair, I will not be able to color my hair with any lighter shades…she but a reddish-dark brown kinda color on my hair…but it’s not the shade i wanted!! i wanted to go for light brown…

can anyone pls suggest wat can be done? is it not possible for me to lighten my hair ( without bleaching ofcourse) becus of henna in my hair?

That's true, you'd have to dye your hair dark brown a couple of times and wait for your natural color to come back. If your hair is naturally dark there's no way you can go 'lighter' without bleaching.

Weird, no parlour ever told me that. I just go and get whatever colour I want done. I have light red hair colour right now. Went from dark brown to light red.

You either wait for the mehendi to fade or keep dying your hair the same color a couple of times to your hair takes-on that color. You will need to bleach it though to go lighter.
