hair,'

is

colored.
: the chemical looks dead and well chemically colored, especially
after

Helo, Newbies....I'm one too. My hair is chin length because it was
breaking off. From what I read here, this silly Beatles style
haircut now has the capability to go beyond my chin. I henna'd once
before I found this wonderful site...I just henna'd again. Yeay!
There's finally hope for me! Here's to all redheads...newbies,
oldies, and in-betweenies....and those lustrous locks...Beatles
style..shoulder-length, and, I think all our dreams...those heavenly
long (sigh)ones. Happy to meet you guys!
