Walnut Hulls and Henna For Coloring Hair (was shampoo bars now walnut hulls)

[Guest guest]

My two cents ...

 

I've heard that walnut hulls can be used to make a GREAT hair coloring

(and wood stain too), but one has to really careful to not get it on the

skin as it is REALLY hard to get out of any skin that it touches, so it

is almost TOO effective as a dye *lol*

 

Then there is henna. It IS drying to the hair and builds up a residue

pretty quickly. It can be used to add volume to fine hair in shampoos,

but once again, it does build up and the residue can weigh hair down

.....

So please tell, how much effect did the walnut hulls have on the grey?

 

I'm sure part of my scalp problem at times has been connected to using

hair

colour (not permanent). I'd love to find a way around this because I'm

just

not ready to be grey yet:-(

 

I used henna for a couple of years but despite the fact that it's

suggested

as a really good conditioning agent, it made my hair terribly dry and

brittle. I'd love an alternative.

I used henna for like 20 years and it was FABULOUS for my hair. I didn't

have any problems with residue build up and always made my hair feel

wunnerful... Not everyone has the same experience of course, but I was a

happy camper.

 

Can't use it now though, too much gray. Gray and henna equal Green.
