Well, I knew about the dik diks. Homeschooling and curious kidlets, doncha know <g>
As to henna, used to use it back in the dark ages. Loved it except that it stinks. Of course, I have dark hair, so I could a lovely auburn with almost bright burgandy like highlights. It is a natural product, so it doesn't give you Barbie hair.
Might not do such a hot job unless you can get some "body art" henna. Most henna sold for hair use is "compound" henna and they have metallic salts in them. Compound henna plus dyed or permed hair = dead hair. As in shave your head and start over dead, brittle, breaks off, gone. If you can find "pure" or "body art" henna, then do a test patch to see if you are going to look like a stop light or a strawberry blonde or something inbetween.
Back in the day we only had the pure henna and you mixed it with lemon juice or vinegar, hence that really yucky smell. With the "pure" or "body art" hennas your hair comes out really shiney, silky and no split ends.
