: : I understand your concern in regards to protecting your : livelyhood,especially when raising children. I also know a little of : the pressures of useing black dye with chemicals added like the one : you use with PPD in it. Most people in this country are more : accustomed to seeing a black tattoo line on the skin and have little : or no refferance of the red brown color that is real henna. Also they : are sometimes impatient and want immediate results. Once a long time : ago I had some henna sent to me that was supposed to be black. It had : some small white crystals in it that looked like salt. I tied to sift : it and mix it and the smell of it made me feel weird and it burned : the skin on my hands. I knew nothing of the dangers of these : additives and had not yet heard of PPDs ,but I immediately threw it : all away. : I know its a hard thing to choose to do. I would have been so busy : and had a line at my booth a mile long if I had a sign saying "black : henna" For me there was no choice, I couldnt Knowingly harm others or : myself for the sake of vanity.The prospect of all the riches seems a : temporary thing that could very easily backfire and come back to : huant any person who is useing a known toxic poison, that is not for : use on skin. If you honestly dont beleive the photos and info on the : black Henna (BLACK DEATH as it is also called as henna is not black). : Then scroll down and read some of the testimonials from people : writing in to get help after being burned and how they have suffered : from scarrs and pain . : It is not something we on this forum have created to ruin yours or : anyones business.I am very concerned however that if the people like : yourself who use The Black Death dont stop you may take us all down : with you . I have children too. I have put alot of time into learning : to make strong henna paste that is pure and alive and leaves a : beautiful stain in skin. People do listen and they do learn that : henna is different then tattoos. I have only lost like 6 customers : (out of the probably 1000s) in three years of doing Mehndi due to it : not being black like they see on the movie stars. Please for you and : your childrens sake consider what the reprocussions may be if we are : not wrong. : If you want help and recipees and support with doing the art of Henna : & Mehndi stick around and write again. : Blessings to you : Theadora
: : : I have done 1000’s of black hennas on Santa Monica pier without : any : : reactions. You have been spreading false information. My black : henna : : DOES have PPD. The burns you allege that come from black henna must : : by some other ingredient that people like you experiment with. Stop : : posting inaccurate information. You are ruining my business. And as : a : : single mother with two kids to feed you are actually taking food : from : : my babies’ mouths. Mind your own business and stop slandering my : : business.
