: i have alopecia areata.for those who dont know- its a form of
: hairloss.will the henna cause hairloss? many say it makes hair thick-
: is that true?

Body art quality henna will make each hair physically thicker, because
the Lawsone molecules are binding into the keratin. Genetic hair loss
probably cannot be treated by anything other than fixing your genes,
and I don't think we do that ... yet.....

If your alopecia areata is from one of a few diseases, sush as eczema,
skin infections, like that ... Senna may very well be helpful! I've
been hitting the research papers on Senna, and have found some
outstanding material. I'll get the info up as soon as I can on
precisely what senna is, does, and how to use it.

Please note: spammers may contact you as they have contacted me about
"neutral henna", trying to tell me all about it. Note to such
spammers: You may *think* you know what "neutral henna" is, does, and
how to apply it .... I know the difference between published papers
from from Elsevier research and Journal of Ethnopharmacology and
someone blowing smoke my *ss.
