Hi Catherine,
Checking my mix this morning for dye release (doing a lot of
harvested hair tests) and in the bright morning sunshine it was quite
apparent to the naked eye - across the undisturbed surface of the
henna were tiny BRIGHT GREEN (not to be found in nature type green)
specks. I assume they were the artificial green of the dyed sand you
say is usually found in Indian Henna.
I got my henna from one of your listed suppliers in the U.K. and they
did tell me it was indian; my question is, if this dyed sand is
present are there any implications in terms of using the henna? It
seems to make a nice paste and give good colour (still tweaking the
mix to get a colour I can use, but thats another story)just wondered
if that could be what I'm seeing and if its anything bothersome.
ALSO, what about timing? In trying to achieve a colour result thats
not too brassy, and trying different mixes, I'm finding with my very
porous hair, that I get very bright colour in under an hour; whats
the minimum if there is one of time needed to get the conditioning
benefits, and do you get deeper results with longer times or just
with repeated hennas?
Thanks again Catherine!
