: : : Our latest black henna poster is entitled to his opinion on what : : colour looks best, but I find nothing wrong with brown (or red, if : : you can get the Iranian henna Catherine mentioned some posts back) - : : : especially since *that's the colour it's supposed to be.* There's : : something to be said for the subtleness of brown, and I get more : : compliments on my mehndi when it's that colour than I do when my : : fingertips are in the "nasty bruise" shade of fading black. (And : : even before it starts to fade, it looks very severe - but I have : : pretty fair skin.) : : I wonder if our latest black henna poster has taken a look at the : : warning page or reviewed the black henna posts of the past month or : : so . . . : : Best, : : Anne, who doesn't understand what makes one colour of something : more : : fun than another . . . : : : I know all will object to this, but if used properly and with : care, : : : black henna is a lot of fun and looks much better then brown or : : : natural. (snip) : : : There is a lot of money to be made with black henna, and it looks : : much : : : better : I like henna because it is henna...if I wanted black designs, I'd : prefer body paint or tattoo. It's not that we have to stick to : tradition, but why try to change the nature of henna. It is : brown...live with it, or just forget about it. Most people like the : designs they see and want something like that...in the color they see : it. And little by little we can spread the word. : I agree with Catherine, I don't even want to risk getting sued by : someone over black henna, so I just avoid it, no matter what clients : ask for and no matter what their skin type is. I already had a : complaint from a friend who was up all night from the coffee I put in : my mix (and I am convinced that coffee doesn't make the color any : darker)...I would hate to think what kind of complaints would arise : from rashes. : Keep it real. : Kenzi
