thanks. i guess i'm in that phase of addiction that newcomers to
henna probably find themselves in. the 'why would anyone not want to
henna' syndrome :), so i was really curious to see why someone would
stop. your hair is beautiful, and you are lucky that you have no
grey. i guess with really long hair, henna upkeep is a pretty big
project. anyway, thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

: uncomfortable (my hair was about 38" long then), and I just couldn't
: keep doing it every month.
: 2) As a friend remarked of the colour, "It's lovely, but it's not
: you." It was indeed lovely, but after a couple of years I decided

it,

: very nice.

and
