Dear lord, what fash mag do you work for? To be honest, I understand
exactly what you're saying! The place I teach is up to the rafters
with fashion industry people, and, aaaaugh, such a lot of insecure,
vain, ignorant airheads! (And they think they are sooooooo important
and crucial!) Bless, them, they're willing to have me on staff, even
knowing that I have frequently say "The fashion industry is one of the
2 most evil and destructive forces on the planet. The other is the
weapons industry."

Do try to ignore fashion. I certainly do. Its probably best that
henna is in a "grey" area as far the FDA is concerned, otherwise the
cosmetic industry would have jumped on it from the start and damn near
"mcdonaldized" it by now! Because it's not strictly legal to henna,
it's fallen into the hands of amateurs and semi-pros that do it
because they absolutely love it!

What sort of intelligence can you expect from an industry that's given
us shoulderpads, high heels, pantyhose and ....tadaaaaa.......
para-phenelynediamine! PPD!
