: Last I heard, you need quite a lot of acid, around 50%, otherwise it: doesn't stain well (and obviously she doesn't want it on her hair
for
: longer than is necessary). I haven't heard that anyone's had any
: damage from lemon juice or other acids, though. Catherine or
someone
: else knowledgeable, what's the best acid for this occasion?
The lj wouldn't hurt her hair, it's her scalp I'm concerned with. It
can be pretty harsh on the scalp if you have sensitive skin, and I'm
worried that it would hurt her scalp and make more hair fall out.
While more acid is ideal, in situations like this it's not going to
be as beneficial to have henna that releases its dye quickly. With
An only slightly acidic liquid it will take longer for the henna to
release its dye, but it will still go...eventually...
