: 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
: LIVE HENNA

Valerie, You said a mouthful. I feel sorry for my friend who gets
her hair "fried" every 6 weeks. Her natural is brownish blonde. She
leaves that and fries it whitish....it's called highlights.
(right..sure..whatever) It has no shine whatsover, and she can't
figure out why. She loves my haircolor...and can't understand how
healthy it is. (My natural is golden blonde)She's even "done" my
hair for me when I couldn't lift my hands up above my neck...I
offered to purchase some for her, and she said "No thanks, it's not
worth the mess" Wrong!
