Hi, Elettaria,

I had it on the hairball for about six hours, and then tried the
same henna - minus wine, only with hot water - as a strand test. This
time, it seems that the rather faded hair blended in nicely with the
rest, and the shine looks like a wet seal's back! I'm waiting to hear
from the Toronto henna supplier whom Catherine lists in order to
obtain good henna - if the old junk in my cupboard can do this much,
it's exciting to think what the good stuff can do. Thanks for the
information about 50/50 lemon:water.
