: Questions: 1.) I know the hair in my moustache is very resistant to
: color. When I used the PPD stuff, I had to pre-soften the hair with
: an application of ammonia. As I understood it, the object was to open
: the cuticle so that the color would get to the cortex. Is there any
: chance this would work with henna? I'll probably try it sometime, but
: your thoughts please.

Henna penetrates and binds to keratin. PPD sits on the surface. You don't need to
open the cuticle.

I've never tried hennaing my mustache. By the time I hennaed again, which is 3-4
weeks later, at least half of it would grow out. My hair and beard are colorful
enough.
