Certainly Gary, I'm not going to say any more as it is just preference. I was just saying that as a total beginner with no experience, Mehron Paradise is probably the easiest product for her to use. Great coverage even with poor technique and very flexible. I mention Kryolan Aquacolor because of the sheer number of colors it comes in, just in case she needs a color Mehron (or you) don't have.
