Body henna or pure henna can be used.  The compound henna has metallic salts 
in it and you can't.  The ex's sister was a beautician and auntie's eldest 
daughter.  I had it all pounded into my little pointed brain long ago <g> 
However, it is a personal body chemistry thing too, so you should do a 
little test on some hair at the nap of your neck so if it doesn't work for 
you it is easy to snip out.

The smell is short lived.  It is the smell of doing it that drove me to 
always do it outside.  Loved the shine and texture after I'd done it!

Oh, and vaseline all around your face, ears and neck.  It stains far longer 
than Clairol, etc.
