In reply to: Metal vs Henna; also, why use oils? posted by CorriRose on September 4, 2004 at 17:54:29:

: First, I've used Mountain Light....I hate it. It dried out my hair,
: just looked awful.

: Now have bulk henna (1 kilo) but don't remember where it's from. My
: question(s) the Mountain Light henna instructions say "Never use a

:
: Second, I've noticed many people add natural oil to their

:
: Third....I used vinegar (white) in my mixture this last time. As it
: dried, it formed little "balls" which, when I uncovered it from the
: plastic, jumped all around my shampooing area like little greenish
: Smurfs. The results are beautiful, but am wondering if it will

:
: Also, my dear "Brit-sisters"...(well, we're sisters in henna ;) )I
: loved the description "Indigo made my hair smarmy"...as a not-hip-
: American, what does smarmy exactly mean. I saw the results, but
: didn't know if what I saw was "smarmy" I thought the pictures were
: pretty.

HI, CorriRose and autumn - I'm a transplanted Brit [the roots didn't
take too well] and vegetarian, who devoutly thanks God/ess for
Chinese and Indian restaurants, so no wonder you find such culinary
delights as Toad-in-the-hole and Spotted Dick rather scary!
Considering that in Iraq, people said 'thanks, but no thanks' when
the Brit troops offered to share their rations... . 'Smarmy' often
refers to a person's character, and means sticky, greasy, and
generally unpleasant, so it could apply in that way to hair as well. -
btw - I scrolled down to find the post you meant but must have missed
it...?
