almost free samples of henna for hair
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.
