I just forgot and used a metal spoon :shock: is it ruined? |  | | | April 2nd, 2003, 02:43 PM | #2 | | Long Hair Devotee Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: D.C. Area Age: 27 Posts: 121 | I have no idea if it's ruined or not, 'cause I've always used plastic, but... uhm... I don't think I'd put it on my hair. o.o Then again, I manged to dye a rubber bathmat green today with henna some how, so I'm probably just being cautious.  Maybe get some shed hair and use it as a test strand, to see what happens? __________________

You may or may not have ruined your henna -- get some hair off your brush and do a strand test before using it just to make sure the hair doesn't turn green... __________________
