We're in the middle of doing hairbrush tests for K, but the first one
went well. We left it in for three hours, and it's pretty good, but
we're trying another three just to see what difference it makes.
Strand test next.

She has chin-length hair, medium thickness or possibly slightly fine.
I've got about 2/3 of a packet of henna left, so I thought we'd add
another one and we can always freeze the leftovers. I'm looking
through the mixes section and the terping pages on the sister site,
but I'm not really finding consistent info on how much to use. If
it's a huge amount we'll go out and buy more oils, but if not I have
quite a few essential oils around already (all superb quality), as
long as it doesn't cost the earth. I gather tea tree and something a
bit sweeter is a nice combination? I have most oils, although I'm out
of lavender at the moment. Geranium, cardamon, eucalyptus globulus?
How about palmarosa? I do have ravensara but it was quite a pricey
one. Which oils do people suggest, and more to the point, how much
should we use per 100g henna?
