: HI,
: I have bee colouring my hair with henna for about a year now. I
: usually by it by the cube from LUSH (amazing handmade natural
: products) but I found it too time consuming. I just bought Colora
: henna cream. I was wondering if this product is actually 100%
: natural colour as it says. The Ingredients are as follows:
:
: Water, Natural Henna Extract, Alcohol, Cocoamphopropionate,
: Polysorbate 20, Propylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose.
:
: May also contain: Solvent Black 5, Disperse Blue 1, Basic Violet
14,
: Basic Yellow 15.
:
: Please let me know if this is safe and non-hair damaging henna.

: thanks
: Nicole

Oh Nicole, all I can say is YUCK YUCK YUCK!
my henna experiences in the last year have led me to go even farther
in my quest for natural body care products. I now make about 90% of
the stuff I use on my hair face and "bod" and to tell you the truth,
I wouldn't touch anything with propylene glycol (a petrochemical
derivative also used to make antifreeze) in it with a ten foot pole.
The dyes and "lakes" used to make colours are also extremely
hazardous.

Beyond that, I just can't see how anything claiming to contain henna
extract can actually dye your hair? Once henna has released its dye
there is only a certain window of opportunity in which it is viable,
so how they can halt that process I don't know.

Please don't use it! 100% natural henna is a bit of work alright but
its so much better for you.
