I certainly do NOT have a scientific background. It just slays me
that we can put men on the moon but have to put chemicals in our
hair to lighten it. I may try the lemon juice route, but I am sure
that will not do anything to the gray. Maybe I should just be happy
with the dreary hair I have. It isn't in bad shape. I don't have
tons of time either, so therein lies another dilema.

So what about the one-time cassia affect on someone's mother? I
read it on this site. Her hair continues to grow out great after
one round of cassia? I couldn't get my comb through it very well
and if I do it again, I will do more conditioning.

: Inventing stuff...........
: I did textile arts for 35 years, and that was a good start for
: understanding what goes on with hair.

: Unless you can think of something miraculous .......... pulling the
: melanin out of hair is DIFFICULT and RISKY. (While the hair is on
: your head). Good luck, but I'm afraid you'll find this is
chemically
: a big non-starter. The two best shots at lightening hair are
peroxide
: and lemon juice. Organic sorta nixes peroxide.

: If you want to go into cosmetic formulation ......... you're going
: into one of the most complex possible areas of biochemistry,
organic
: chemistry, and legal issues. What's your background?
