Re: Question for Catherine and everyonePosted by Katherine on September 21, 2004 at 09:17:19: In reply to: Re: Question for Catherine and everyone posted by Kalifornia Karol (the elder) on September 21, 2004 at 01:08:51: : : First of all, I am fresh from my Very First Time with body art: henna, : : and am just delighted with the results. You know, up to now, I : quite : : believed all of you, but my skeptical little mind kept on saying : : things like,'THEY may get such gorgeous hair from it, but YOU : : won't...'. Well, I did! best ever! : : Just one question, and this is one I don't think has been : previosuly : : posted here. Why on earth would I get a fiendishly itchy reaction : the : : second I began to rinse the henna out? [I used 200g, mixed it with : : bottled lemon juice and water, let it sit overnight, plopped it on : : and revelled in the way it felt for about seven hours.]It was : : nothing but water - I didn't even use shampoo, although toward the : : end of rinsing I did use conditioner. Today is Day 2, and there is : : still some itching round the hairline, particularly the nape and : : behind the ears. I am highly puzzled, and hope you can help. TIA. : : Otherwise...if you look over the moon, you may see me there with : my : : beautiful red hair! [I'd love to show you what it looks like but : : haven't a webcam.] : : : Now I told you a while back, you skeptic (actually I am as well) but : isn't this great stuff! One thing, I don't understand is why many : leave the stuff on their head so long. Maybe the first time, but a : couple hours ought to do it (in my humble opinion) and I simply : can't imagine being able to SLEEP with it on. I'd show off my lovely : old redhead if I had withall as well. Glad it worked for you. Now : you can just put that old henna stuff in the compost with no guilt. You remembered me!! That is so nice of you! Now you can indeed be an 'I-told-you-so.' As to leaving it on my head that long - more skepticism - I thought the longer, the better, and having slept in it in the past, running round all day with it wasn't a problem. But thank you so much for remembering me, and I wish I could see your hair...guess I'll just have to imagine it dazzling people ... .
