Hi Bev--

Dik-diks are raised here in my area, along with other exotic hoof 
stock--like the scimitar oryx, pere david, white fallow deer, black buck 
antelope, etc. Texas A&M University published a field guide to exotics 
because they are so predominant in the Texas hill country.

I used to henna my hair in my 20's, it was easy and turned out pretty. 
As I recall it left my hair somewhat dry and I would have to use a lot 
of conditioner. However, it won't cover gray and it can't be used on 
dyed hair, which pretty much eliminates most of us mid-life gals.

--Sage
