I got my supply from serangoon, one of the Indian cha huo dian. the pack is yellow in colour and comes in two sizes.westmom:
Chemical dyes will affect quality of hair. Try covering your greys with \"henna\" instead. It's a plant based and natural. It doesn't come with the colour you want but at least it is \"safe\" and you are able to cover your grey. It's supposed to thicken & strengthen your hair too. Color is like reddish brown once done.
Where to get Henna or how to make etc...???? I am currently using those old man's hair dye (biggen)? It comes in a tube and I only do touch up on the affected area so as not to expose my entire scalp to chemical.
You gotta get ready a plastic bowl, gloves, shower cap, tea bag (for me, i use tea, not coffee), some lemon juice, and egg (like ilovekidsverymuch, but stink, i omit) and big clips. Put about 2 tablespoon (qty to adjust according to the amount/length of hair) of henna powder in the bowl, pour in the tea, then add in the lemon juice. it should look more like a paste and not too watery. if too watery, can adjust the consistency by adding more powder. then you let it sit for half an hour. you got to put some newspaper on the floor first before you apply henna.
When you are ready to apply henna, wear gloves. if you have a big-tooth comb or paint brush, you may wanna use it. start by apply a section on top of your head. after applying, you twirl the hair round and pile on head. then you continue to apply another section near to the 1st section and twist the hair so that this new section will 'join' the 1st section on top of the hair. continue to apply and twirl/twist the hair. try to apply henna as close to the scalp as possible, even if you touch the scalp also ok. then you can use a clip to secure the hair, cover with the shower cap and can wrap a small towel around as well.
3 hours later, rinse out the henna from the hair. Do not shampoo hair. when the hair is clean from the henna residue, use Hair Conditioner and condition your hair. rinse out, dry and style as usual.
If you do it at the shop, you prob have to sit around for 3-4 hours doing nothing... but no mess lor... -

dunno. now i intend to get mine from doc, maybe can claim as medical expense from company?

Wow… thanks for the detailed instruction. I must make sure I save this.
Does Henna stain on the neck, sink and clothes,etc…???
Does it need 3-4 hours to see effect? What color effect will you see? Black or dark brown? I suppose must do on entire head iso affected areas?
Yah 3-4 hours in saloon… that’s too long. I currently have problem going to the saloon for my CNY haircut… busy busy. -
MMM,
it may sound bery complicated at first to apply henna, but its actually not difficult and it gets easier as you practise more. I hope you get what i mean by twisting the hair and pile on top of the head… -

Henna will stain the skin. So you can apply a thin layer of moisturer on your face, ears and neck first. but will not stain the sink, tiled flooring (unless its wood/marble) and clothes. you can do the entire head or only the affected area. the colour is very nice - reddish brown, a little red-orange for the while hair. and if you do like twice a month, the colour will appear naturally darker reddish-brown. I love the colour very much.Wow... thanks for the detailed instruction. I must make sure I save this.
