I have heard that people with different colored hair actually have
different "types" of gray hair. I have no reference for this and no
clue where I heard it (lot of help I am). But, it could be why some
people's grays tend to "take" henna well and other's don't. Maybe
lighter hair turned gray "takes" henna better than dark hair turned
gray, or vice versa. Just a thought...

: Lawsone (henna's dye molecule) is orange. It can oxidize to the
: darker colors .........
:
: Hm............... variations in gray hair ........... another
puzzle.
: I see a long stretch in the academic journals again.
:
: My gray does just fine with henna. I have noticed that my husband's
: gray beard hairs are straighter than the rest of his beard hairs
: (black person, kinky hair). I wonder if I can get him to spare a
few
: of each for comparison. I wonder if I can get a better microscope
for
: Christmas.
