: Email me if you want the instructions on how to do the technique
using
: just plain henna in this picture. It's mostly harmless (though
: ammonia is stenchy and can be stingy) , it's traditional, and at
least
: it is in the hands of the person who does it. Not yours. This one
: has been partially blackened with ammonia (trying to imitate a
: Renaissance ink on parchment drawing)..... and sinister because I am
: severely right handed, and I did this one with my left hand on my
: right. (The drawing wasn't too bad, but I can't seem to hold and
: focus the camera worth a damn with my left.)
: The dye in question is ppd. Don't use anything that has ppd
anywhere
: in its ingredient list. (don't use anything that DOESN'T have an
: ingredient list!) You can seriously harm yourself and your clients
if
: you use it. There are certainly alternatives to inflicting chemical
: burns on yourself and others with a known toxin.
