Is henna used for dying hair the same as henna used for tattoos?

It is not quite the same, if you speak about natural plain henna powder, there`s powder in body art quality and powder for hair. Body art quality henna is made of leaves that were picked from the top of the plant. These were exposed to the sun a lot and therefore contain a lot of the dye molecule that you need for a satisfying colour. Henna for hair is made of leaves and plant parts that don`t contain as much dye molecules. If you dye your skin with that henna the stain won`t be dark. Those henna for hair products that you can buy from beauty suppliers mostly contain a lot of other stuff and little if any henna at all. Most of them even contain chemicals and should not be put on skin.

Can you dye your hair before you perm?

The perm chemicals can make your hair color wash out or fade significantly, so I would suggest talking to your hair stylist. If you have used a henna dye or any dye that contains metallic salts, the chemicals in perm solution will cause a volatile reaction when mixing with the metallic salts in your hair, so its not suggested to use any type of color of this kind if you plan on having any kind of chemical texturizing services done.

How can you fix hair back to its original color?

Hope you didn't dye it with henna, for one thing. If you used regular hair dye, the quickest way to get it back to its original color is just to have it redyed. Or you can grow it out. If you used henna, you've got to grow it out--henna seals the hair shafts, and you can't dye through the seal.
