I've used the Body Shop's Raging Red henna to colour my hair, but I hear that they have stopped selling this henna now as they've been sued because they could not guarantee the exact shade the henna would give you *needless to say I it this most bizarre that someone would sue for this, it being a natural product and therefore not controllable with all the different variables, AND the fact it's the Body Shop which is supposed to cater for natural ingredients* - go figure!!!

However, this has left me in a bit of a situation as I'd like to continue henna-ing my hair as I love the colour (if not the smell or the process - cow pat head anyone??) and the fact that it's natural and also good for my long hair (which has taken a lot of crazy colour abuse over the years). I need to find some decent henna which will give me the same glorious red colour without sending me traffic-stopping ginger or damping the colour down. I've heard of the Lush henna bar but was wondering what people's experiences were with it, or whether anyone has tried the body quality henna from the online sites? See, I'm kinda lost as to the different types and flummoxed as to which one would be good. So iffin y'all can help lil ole me, it'd be greatly appreciated :o)
