: : Hello

: for
: : the first time about three weeks ago (the roots were already
: : beginning to show!). I left it on for 2 hours, and when I
washed
: it
: : off in the shower, I found that rather a lot of my hair came out
: : too. :-( Today it looks okay--I don't look bald--but I'm not
very
: : happy. And I can see that I have receded slightly on one side,
: : though it's hidden by the way my hair falls... Normally I lose
a
: few
: : hairs when I wash my hair, but this was a few big tangles. My
hair
: : is very fine and flat so I NEED what I have! Reading this site
: I've
: : read that henna actually is good for treating hair loss. Can
: anybody
: : help explain what happened to me?
: : Thanks very much

: My explanation? You used Lush. They are, in my opinion, not
worth
: the packaging they come in. Yes, REAL henna is helpful in
thickening
: hair and stopping breakage/fall-out, but since I don't know what's
in
: Lush right off the top of my head I have no idea what weird thing
in
: it has done this too your hair. I'm very sorry it happened, but
in
: the future, especially since you're apparently going for a bright
: red, just use regular body art quality henna from any of the
: suppliers on this site.

At the lush site it says the ingredients are:
Ingredients: Red Henna (Lawsonia inermis), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma
cacao), Fresh Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum), Powdered Rosemary
(Rosmarinus officinalis), Clove Bud Oil (Eugenia caryopyllus),
Perfume.

Doesn't sound all that bad...

Good luck with your hair!
