I'd add to the above that you also want to avoid anything calling
itself 'henna cream.' Unless it is 100% henna, and nothing else, it
is not henna.
As to fried hair ... mine certainly was, and, once I discovered this
site, I got impatient and hennaed anyway. No problems. But test
first, on harvested hair from your brush or on a strand. Body art
quality really does make all the difference, too: it is not just a
lot of cant from the converted! Good luck!
