: To be precise, henna prevents your hair from "weathering". That
one's
: actually verified microscopically. This means your single hair
strand
: is far less likely to split, break, get tired as it grows long. If
: each hair is breaking off less, it appears go grow faster because
the
: growth rate is not diminished by breakage. Therefore, your hair
: appears to grow faster. Did that make sense? The growth rate at
the
: generative base is not faster, but if you combine rate of growth
with
: weathering loss rate, you get much faster "net" growth with henna.
:
: also, hennaed hair tangles less when you brush it, so that favors
: greater "net" hair growth rate.

Yes that makes great sense. I will add that to my growing list of
things I love about henna. By the way I am inspired by the state of
your hair. I can't believe how gorgeous it is at the age of 50
somthing no less. I am growing mine out too, if its possible to have
hair anywhere close to as nice as yours, why not? I used to buy into
the mindset that once you reached your 40's you should keep it above
the shoulders,but now I see what a load of rubbish that idea is!
thanks for waking me up :)
