Another load of books came in through interlibrary loan. Henna (with
indigo, chamomile and varaints) were the ONLY hair dyes prior to 1900.
By 1926, people had started using aniline dyes in hair and were
having health disasters and doctors were raging against PPD dyes for
hair. In 1937, the cosmetic industry petitioned the FDA to permit
them to have PPD in their forumuae at no more than 6%, and the FDA
approved that. In 1940, that textbook hustled PPD dyes hard, offered
that overly complex, rather off-putting, henna procedure. A text from
the mid 60's REALLY badmouths henna (I'll get this up here) and is
very dismissive of the dangers of PPD.

I'll try to get all this stuff up as fast as I can. If you read
through the chronology, you can see exactly why beauticians think
henna is bad. Their schools have TAUGHT them that henna is bad, and
much of what's in those textbooks is grossly biased or dead wrong!
