Alison, thanks for the reply. I guess I'm not sure which is best or
worst: coating the hair or penetrating it. I guess if it is
penetrating it, it probably will be in there for a long time. I
ordered some and I'm anxious to try it. I need some great
conditioning. Right now, the best thing I've tried is Garnier
Fructis, from the store. It has alot of stuff in it, fruit
concentrate included, and tames my wild mane. Cassia won't change
the color, though, and I'm going to have rootage pretty soon that I
need to figure something out with...I am not ready for henna, don't
want to go red, and don't have time. Why can't these scientists
come up with something for a dirty blonde to use that will make gray
be like a highlight?
