Someone came to our table today saying that she got black henna inTanzania and it lasted three months. We suggested to her that it was
probably not henna but hair dye, or something else chemical. She
said that it wasn't the brown stuff from India but "African" henna
which is black! We told her that we work with African henna and it's
not black naturally and doesn't last three months. We again
suggested that what she got was probably not henna, and that it was
either a chemical or some other plant. She got very haughty with us
and told us, "trust me, I know what I am talking about."
Of course, 2 minutes after she left was when I thought of asking
her, "why should I trust you? because you spent your vacation in
Tanzania, while my henna partner and I have logged 12 years in Africa
between us and have at least 4 years of henna experience each?"
Oy! that kind of ignorance just boils my clams! I am still annoyed
by her.
