I was in Walmart today looking at hair accessories for my future long
hair (cant wait:) and two women across the aisle from me were looking
at hair dyes and trying to decide which colors they wanted, one woman
was saying how her husband wants her to be more daring and try a red,
but she thought that would be too wild for her. I looked over (who
could resist at this point?) and they both had thin dull lifeless
hair with absolutely no shine or body from all the chemicals they had
used over the years (yes it was very obvious) I would guess their
ages to be mid fifties or so. I thought what a shame how so many
people are brainwashed into thinking chemical is the only way to go.
I can understand why they are too, because any conventional book on
hair will tell you that henna is horrible to your hair and gives a
very unflattering color! I read that today at the library when I
looked in a book called "Dont go to the hair cosmetics counter
without me" (or some such title) out of curiosity I wanted to see
what she had to say about henna and thats what she said! It ruined
your hair and it was a very unflattering shade of orange, and that
there were so many good hair coloring products on the market
nowadays. And yes I thought when I looked at those two unsuspecting
women, this is the result. And here my 76 year old mother is walking
around with the hair of a 30 year old after her first henna. LONG
