mobobbie,
Aren't you allergic to sulfites? I seem to recall that from a previous post.
Still trying to get the nerve to try henna. Ok, my silver streaks do look very much like what they used to call "frosting," but they are starting to take over.
Krasota,
Nice hair color, love the pup. BIL's family has a "Scooby."
And what, no PG pics?
Take care,
Daisy
The preggo pics aren't flickr-worthy, mostly because my husband doesn't understand cameras. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img] Plus, my belly's not very big. I have to thrust it out to get it to show up. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img] Add in the fact that my laptop is on the fritz(and Apple had trouble getting the parts in over the last week). I should have it back soon and can upload pictures again.
Besides, the color isn't so obvious in the preggo shots. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img]
My hair is growing so fast right now! I hennaed a month ago, right before the holidays. I already have almost an inch of growth! And I had over two inches of growth in December (August or September henna job, I think). I'll have to henna again before too long.

This just in from Yahoo news:
Allergy to hair dye is soaring in numerous countries as more and more young people color their locks, according to a medical journal.
The culprit is para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and its cousins in a chemical family called aromatic amines, the mainstay of hair dyes for more than a century, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) warns in Saturday's issue.

Hey ladies -- do you mind if I link this thread from Off Topic?
I would start a new thread there. Lots of us grown ups may not be PA, but we may have allergy to hair colorings & processes & this info could be helpful. . .
I'll give you a few moments to talk amongst yourselves. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img]
(Before I out you for coloring your hair!)

I don't care. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img]

Perfect.
Isn't 15 (?) minutes or so plenty of time for objections?? [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img]

I used to use a henna product. It was pretty raw and natural, I think. Reminded me of tea, and I mixed it with hot water to a thick mud I pasted onto my hair. It was a mess and fun. I had a Friend who woudl hang with me and relax his hair at the same time! What a pair. With foil on our heads, and having Bud Lights, I recall, and a pizza delivey, LOL.
It was the best color(but just for fun over my very, very dark and shiny brown at the time) and I want to try to find it again. So shiny, mostly, but a nice auburn tint to my almost black hair.
Maybe it was the more natural stuff you mention, Krasota. It was totally non-irritating, but I had no concern of allergy at the time. But rinses I used recenlty(twice) dis sting, and I had hair loss after one recently.
So, is this natural henna like the mudddy, tea leave typ mix I describe? There was no chemical smell, just organic-y amd muddy, or tea-ish smelling.

Yep. That sounds like plain ol' henna. It's usually a finely ground powder and smells like hay or tea.

i know some of the brands of hair color at walmart have almond in them. i was looking for natural haircolor online when i was pregnant and saw walnut listed also. i use to use henna but only could find the bark brown which looked black or the classic red.
Ok ladies,
I have a lead on a product, and oddly enough it's made near where I live. I've sent the company an email asking for an ingredient list. They have a pretty specific questionnaire on the contact form, asking for past color history and reaction information.
They also have a patch test you can send away for...we'll see.
