I put lavendar oil in my henna strictly for the smell--terping
doesn't do much when there's so much hair involved. Odd that your
henna smells like rotten eggs, though--everything I've ever used has
smelled of grass and hay, which, while not nessicarily good "hair
smells" are better than rotten eggs. Must be the brand
