Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 > > hi Bill, > can u send me the research u did and wat r all the steps u did for the research. > thanks, > john I recommend Pat Colby's book, " Natural Goat Care " . You can google " Goats + copper " if you want to find what I found. I did this two years ago, gleaned and mentally retained the info I needed and used, and do not remember the sites and other materials I read at the time. I hope that helps. Pat Colby stated and referenced research that indicated that dark haired goats as well as dark haired people, have a higher requirement for dietary copper than fair-haired people (or goats). Jill!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Anita, even then 'natural' 'safe' ones that are touted actually have chemicals in them that you are best to avoid at all costs. in the UK On 10/10/07, neets7679 <maetoliver@...> wrote: > > > ==>Yes, all hair dyes are highly toxic. > > > > Bee > > Bee (or anyone else informed on this), > I'm just not ready to go gray yet; are there any alternatives that add > color without the toxic overload? > Anita T. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gradually washes out of your hair. When using henna to color your hair; the new color will go through an adjustment period of 2-3 days, so do not panic if your hair seems brassy or dull - it will change. Remember the hair cannot be made lighter with henna. It can be made darker by leaving he henna on the hair longer; or by choosing a darker shade. It is recommended you start with a light shade and reapply more henna, rather than starting right off with a dark shade. You can also create new colors by mixing together several hennas. You can do a sample test on your own hair. Gather up a small sample piece of hair from a place you will not notice - usually near the nape of the neck. Use a rubber band to tightly bind the swatch together. Mix a small amount of henna powder with water and apply it to the swatch. Let it sit for 15 minutes. The mixture is: 1/2 cup pure henna powder and 1/4 cup boiling water (approximately). You may need more for long hair. Place henna powder in a glass or ceramic container and slowly add the boiling water; stirring until you have a thick paste the consistency of mud. You may need to add more water. Apply henna to clean, dry hair. You should wear gloves so it doesn't stain your hands. Cover your entire head with henna and massage well into your hair; through to the ends. Wrap your head in a plastic wrap or use a plastic shower cap. Keep your head warm by sitting in the sun or use a handheld blow- dryer and keep it moving or wrap your head in a warm, wet towel. Leave in for 15 to 45 minutes. The longer it is left in the darker the color will become. Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Shampoo your hair, using a very mild shampoo, and rise well. You can now dry and style your hair as usual. The color should stay in your hair 3 - 6 months.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I use henna color and love it. Usually purchase one from the store and add mayo, lemon, cinnamon or nutmeg, or whatever the instructions say to lighten, nourish, etc. It's alot of fun, kind of a mess but the outcome is great.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi, My hairdresser says NEVER to perm over henna. It turns the hair to mush. She has seen this happen. I got black walnut hull stain all over my hands a few weeks ago, and could not get it off. I had to let my nails grow out enough to trim them. Has anyone ever tried to use black walnut stain for dark hair color?
