: Hi. I just recently found this forum and have a few questions.
: I've been using henna for about 20 years now and have always had
: good results from Hennalucent (only the sunset glo color which
lists
: henna as the main ingredient). I really do get tons of
compliments
: on my hair, many from complete strangers.
:
: What I have noticed though, is that as I've gotten older (45 this
: month) the color seems to fade much faster than it used to (3-4
: weeks instead of 6 or more), not considering roots. It doesn't
seem
: to condition quite as long as it used to either. Now I know I'm
: getting quite a bit of gray (not sure exactly how much since I
: haven't really seen it in years) probably 20-30%. I'm sure that
: contributes to the fading as well.
:
: What I'd like to know is would art quality henna give me the same
: color, which is a rich medium auburn with copper highlights
(that's
: the gray), and would it last any longer?
:
: The recent popularity of henna as body art (can't walk 100 feet at
: the beach without seeing a henna tattoo shop), and the internet
: (which wasn't around when I started using henna) have created a
lot
: of options that weren't available to me before. I'd like to try
art
: grade henna but I'm a bit wary as I do really love the color I
: have. I'd just like it to last a little longer.
:
: Any suggestions?
:
: Thanks

head)

I used to use the sunsetglo hennalucent, or whatever I could get,
for years and just discovered the real deal. It will give you the
color, even richer and deeper. I'm 52, just went to a music
festival this last weekend, and had more than a few compliments from
total strangers!
