Thank you so much for the advice and link. I just loved reading your
description of applying henna. Flying goose poop indeed! Well, we are
ready to apply tonight, the men are leaving, the children have
homework, the dogs will get sent outside and the cats will be shooed
away. We shall see how it goes and let you know. Also, you said that
repeated applications on grey hair will continue to darken into a
deeper red, is the same true for light to medium brown? A side note;
I mixed a batch with lemon juice for my hands. It will be ready later
tonight. In the mean time, I placed a small drop of the water/henna
mixture on my palm for 30 seconds and rinsed off. It stained a light
orange. Does this bode well for a dark stain with the acidic mixture
left on overnight?
: Go ahead and henna wet hair. It will not hinder the henna in any
way.
