: she heard about the lead.
: Anyway I use language like "Natural red-brown henna" and keep a

: extremely popular but toxic black henna'. People usually catch on
and
: want to chat...

I wonder if it comes from the fact that some of the hair dyes to cover
gray, especially some of the men's brands do contain lead. If she read
that black henna has a substance in it used in hair dye she may think
it also has lead. Talk about your double whammy,having to convince her
real henna doesn't have stuff added and that it has no lead!
