We have a duty to promote safe henna practices. Dangerous techniques reflect poorly on us.

: I am sure she is well aware of the dangers. These lectures are: getting old.
Many of us here feel we have a duty to promote safe henna practices.
Mixing henna with toxic substances is just as bad as using PPD.
Allowing it to pass unremarked upon is something we cannot do, if not
for Talia's sake then for whatever passers-by happen to read the
posts.
Sure the lecture is getting old, but the message is no less valid.
I, personally, can neither condone nor fail to remark when the topic
of dangerous, toxic henna mixings comes up. From the posts I see that
many other forum regulars feel the same way.
As long as the topic comes up, I for one will continue to voice my
opinion, which is based on personal knowledge and scientific fact.
It is important that the forum reflect a safe, sane, informed
approach to henna, especially given the number of "hits" this site
gets per day. If I can help one person understand the importance of
safety, it is more than worth it.
