Hai Dye; Was: unfortunately can't follow the diet entirely

[Guest guest]

Hi Ina,

I've been experimenting with using herbs to tint white hair. Sage and rosemary

can be used to color hair darker. Feel free to write me offlist if you'd like to

explore this possibility.

Test yourself before using henna. Some people like it a lot and get good

results. I have used henna in the past, but it made me very sick. Sick for a

weekend the first time I used it, and sick for a week the second time I used it.

Don't know if it had extra ingredients in it or not that caused that reaction.

As a general note, if anyone knows of plant substances to color hair dark, but

not a warm color, please let me know. Coffee, black tea, cloves all seem to add

warm tones. I need more ash-y tones.

> And another " poison " I'm absorbing is hair dye, cause because of all the

stress I had in the past, I have some grey hair, so again I have to dye my hair

unfortunately. I've heard of henna, but I'm not really familiar with that, and

if it's safe to use.
