: Just as I started pondering going red with henna I saw an elderly
: woman who appeared to be using henna to cover her nearly 100%
grey
: hair. Her hair was an unattractive orange color. I know some of you
: report that you have grey hair, but your pictures in the mixes
: section look GREAT, nothing like the woman I just mentioned! Is this
: because only a small percentage of your hairs are grey, or is it
: because you are using higher quality henna? Do you plan to continue
: to henna as you acquire more and more grey hair?

My sideburns, were I not hennaing, would be entirely gray. My top hair
is two-toned and I like it - the hairs that would be gray look like tiny
fiber optic lights in my hair. I've had one guy ask me why I had so many
colors in my beard (several weeks after the last henna, so I had white
roots showing) but the others like it. I do it as much for the smell
nowadays as for the look - it's getting hot, so you can smell a clear
picture of me in my hair, but the background is a pretty clove color
instead of stunken sweat. Hard to predict thirty years into the future,
but I see no reason to stop.
