Aside from the fact that your hairdresser has been fed misinformation
about what henna is and does, and makes me want to hurt something, I
think you're fine. I've checked the Logona ingredients list, and it
seems to be natural. Granted, the only colour that is probably 100%
henna is their red, but the other ingredients for alternative colours
are all things I've (sadly) come to expect in "henna colours":
indigo, senna, woad, chamomile, etc. Also, the claim that "Unlike
chemical methods, they do not penetrate the hair shaft, but coat the
outside of each hair shaft with a protective, volumizing layer" makes
me want to hurt THEM. Retards. Anyway, I think you're probably just
fine.
