hair hennaPosted by jolynn on October 10, 2001 at 05:38:13: In reply to: sometimes you just have to be polite but firm. posted by jennifer on October 9, 2001 at 17:13:38: Actually both are right, more or less. It you do your hair like you doyour skin it will be much more permenant. If you use the comercial types it is just mixed with boiling water and left on for 10 minutes to 1 hour. This is what I use, I returns my hair to the red it was 10 years ago. After 6 to 8 weeks it is pretty much gone. But what I have gathered from postings here the other method yeilds much more intense color and is much longer lasting and not fading completely. Someday I may convince myself to try it. jolynn ps-Have you seen the pictures of CCJ's hair? W*O*W : this will take practice but works will with people who think they are : more knowlegeable but are spreading misinformation. say things : like "i am so sorry but i think you have been misinformed." or " : forgive me but you are mistaken." and proceded onward with giving : correct information. most of the time they will be somewhat taken : aback and will let you procede, if they don't, they end up looking : argumentive and rude, which defeats their purpose as people will will : concentrate on their rudness and not their information...most of the : time. confidence usually wins. : : i didn't realize that henna was permenant on the hair, for some : reason i got the impression that it coats the hair and then wears off : as time goes on. i haven't been paying attention as i henna my hair : and then have my hair cornbraided. all the ends of my hair had been : dyed before, i just started hennaing my hair around 4 or 5 months ago. : i definately noticed a difference in my hair texture. it is much : softer and not as fried. i don't get it as red as my natural hair is : ash brown but the silver hair makes great highlights and so my hair : glints in the sunlight. i will be doing my hair tonight in fact, : before it gets braided tomorrow. i have the henna booth at the las : vegas ren faire to do this weekend and i do not want to bother with : my hair. : it is interesting what you learn on this page. thanks, jennifer : : : : Hi again folks. It's been a while that I've stopped on (free time? : : what's that?!) ;-}, but I'm glad to see that discussions here are : : alive and well. Hope you can help me with my dilemma... : : The other day in dance class talk turned to henna, and eventually : : using henna on hair. I mentioned as a caution that henna is a : : Permanent hair dye, so that folks should be careful if using henna : on : : their hair. Of course, someone speaks up and says "no it's not it's : a : : temporary dye" I politely say that no, it's temporary on skin : because : : the skin exfoliates, but Is permanent on hair. The response : is "Well, : : my mother is a hair dresser and she used to dye my hair with it all : : the time and it's temporary, and it comes in all colours". : : I'm not ready to get into an arguement in dance class over it; if : : someone who thinks they know better wants to take a chance with : their : : own hair that's their business; but what concerns me is that this : : other woman with lovely Blonde hair is listening to this and then : : says "Oh that's interesting", and all I can think is, Please God, : : don't let this blonde woman put henna in her hair, thinking she'll : : get a temporary dye out of it in whatever colour she wants. : : I sometimes run into similar trouble when I mention that people : : should avoid black henna because they can be permanently scarred, : but : : some know-it-all always pipes up, "Oh I got a black henna tattoo : last : : month at such and such a place and it was great" : : Any advice on dealing with folks who share bad information like : this?
