: I met a woman the other day in an arabic/indian market who was
buying
: henna for her hair. Of course, I started the "I do mehndi if you're
: interested" speech.

: We chatted a bit, and she told me her mother always put Coca Cola
in
: her henna. In both the hair and the skin staining recipes!!

: I didn't think they had Coca Cola in India, but she explained to me
: she was raised in America, and was only half Indian, and her mother
: had been doing it this way since around 1970, when she married and
: moved here.

: She says it "froths". I'm thinking that it provides both stickiness
: and acidity. Coca Cola CAN eat the paint off your car, so acidity
is
: high, I'm thinking. Why would it be frothing-carbonation? Reaction
to
: some other component?

: Wouldn't it be funny if this were the 'holy secret ingredient'??

: Anyone out there EVER hear of or try this?

: Carrie

I never heard of coca-cola as an ingredient in the mix. Does anyone
want to test the theory? It can't be any stranger than camel urine
(eWWW).I guess everyone has their own "secret Ingredient". Blessings,
Christine
