: Interesting. So your moustache is only getting the straight Lawsone

: I wish I could look at your moustache hairs under the microscope and

That IS quite interesting...I get the same result on my white head-
hairs! And I never really thought about it, but yes it is as if the
henna doesn't oxidise on those particular hairs.

Other than the fact that white hairs on your head (and presumably
everywhere else!) are devoid of pigment, I can't help but wonder if
their makeup differs in any way? I know its held to be a myth, but I
firmly believe that my white hairs are coarser, thicker and
straighter than the rest. ( Or is it just that I NOTICE the white
ones, and they happen to have been straighter, coarser coloured hairs
once upon a time?!)

But yes, brand new sparkly white hairs on my head turn a very
unattractive yellow post henna and repeated hennas seem to never get
beyond a translucent orange. Doesn't bode well for the future...
