Actually both are right, more or less. It you do your hair like you do
your skin it will be much more permenant. If you use the comercial
types it is just mixed with boiling water and left on for 10 minutes
to 1 hour. This is what I use, I returns my hair to the red it was 10
years ago. After 6 to 8 weeks it is pretty much gone. But what I have
gathered from postings here the other method yeilds much more intense
color and is much longer lasting and not fading completely. Someday I
may convince myself to try it.

: i didn't realize that henna was permenant on the hair, for some

off
: as time goes on. i haven't been paying attention as i henna my hair
: and then have my hair cornbraided. all the ends of my hair had been

ago.
: i definately noticed a difference in my hair texture. it is much

: ash brown but the silver hair makes great highlights and so my hair
: glints in the sunlight. i will be doing my hair tonight in fact,
: before it gets braided tomorrow. i have the henna booth at the las

: my hair.
: it is interesting what you learn on this page. thanks, jennifer

it's

all

: : I'm not ready to get into an arguement in dance class over it; if

: : says "Oh that's interesting", and all I can think is, Please God,
: : don't let this blonde woman put henna in her hair, thinking she'll
: : get a temporary dye out of it in whatever colour she wants.
: : I sometimes run into similar trouble when I mention that people
: : should avoid black henna because they can be permanently scarred,
: but
: : some know-it-all always pipes up, "Oh I got a black henna tattoo
: last

: : Any advice on dealing with folks who share bad information like
