When I henna my hair (as I am right this moment) I use disposable
plastic shower caps to cover it, mostly because I just end up in a
mess if I try to make my own plastic wrap turbans. I get 30 for 2.50
at the local Sally's beauty supply, so it's not a bad deal at all.

Anyway, so I had to go buy those today so I could do my hair
tonight. And, browsing the store, I came upon a box of Hennalucent
hair colour. It claims on the front that it is safe to use over
chemically treated hair (first warning sign!) and the store only had
a few shades to chose from, all of which were brown, or the hated
neutral (second warning sign!). No red at all. So, curious, I've
done some searching on the product, and this is the most informative
I've come up with: http://www.folica.com/haircolor/henn_colcon.htm.
Down the page it lists ingredients. While henna is first on the
list, and sucruse (sugar, which we all know helps) is 3rd, there are
a lot of chemical names that sort of defy the 100% organic claim the
box makes. However, in their favour, if you click the 'enlarge
image' button under the picture of the box, it brings up a seond,
bigger pic of the box in (presumably) it's contents, which ARE green
and do look like normal henna. But that's not enough to redeem
them.

Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone considering it: my opinion
is that it's NOT worth crap.
