| Why try stuff? Everybody's
hair is different. The only way for you to get the results you want is
for you to try a bit of this and that and see what works for you!
Harvest
hair from your hairbrush and test a henna mix on it and see how it
comes
out. There are samples below that you can use to make up a little
bit of henna or rinse.
Have you dyed your hair with
synthetic
dyes? If you've dyed your hair before with synthetic dyes,
you
MUST use ONLY body art quality henna and you MUSt test first! If you
recently dyed
your hair with synthetic dyes, compund henna
(not body art quality henna) can fry your hair, turn it
offshore
sewage outlet black, or frog butt green! Get some samples
of your hair, harvested from your hairbrush, and test the henna you
intend to use on those samples. The sample below is body art
quality henna, the same as is sold by Mehandi and the other suppliers on this
webpage.
What does "almost free"
mean?
You pay $1. for shipping and handling for these small samples.
The
samples themselves are free.
