If you've been using chemicals to dye your hair or perming it ....DO
NOT put henna in your hair. The acidic dye of henna often reacts with
the remnants of the alkaline synthetic dyes, and can throw your hair
into martian green or tar pit black. You may need to let it grow out
before you henna. My daughter says the fastest way to get your hair
grown out is to take prescription pre-natal vitamins. Wearing your
hair in a chignon all the time helps ..... I just brush it lightly,
braid it with a long piece of silk, and wind it up into a bun on one
chopstick. That's it. I suppose that does keep it away from sun and
wind, but I mostly do that to keep from slamming it into the car door
(and dragging it down the freeway) I don't have a photo.
