: Also, on hennalucent: they are "metallic hennas", ie, they use

FYI - My Bark Brown Sally's box of hennalucent says 100% organic, NO
METALLIC SALTS, safe for chemically treated hair. No ingredients list
any where on the packaging. I bought it while I was impatiently
waiting for the real henna to arrive. I mixed it with hot water as
per directions and ran a test on a highlightedted test strand with
lots of grey. It did nothing except maybe condition- no change of
color on highlights, grey, or natural brown color. I never put it on
my head due to Catherine's quick delivery of the real stuff and all
the warnings on this great site. In my boredom I also real hennaed
overed it and no nasty reaction, it looked like all the other henna
samples.

Don't think much of it but at least Hennalucent may have changed
their formula so as not to give real Henna a bad reputuation.
