I decided it was time to lighten up for the summer. My hair has
gotten fairly dark -- albeit a gorgeous Irish Setter dark, thanks to
henna...but in my memory, I have much lighter hair, and the cognitive
dissonance when i look in the mirror has made me try to lighten it...

Soooo, I got a bottle of John Frieda's Beach Blonde gel -- it's
basically a gel formula of hydrogen peroxide. I should have been
more cautious by strand-testing first, but I decided to dive in head-
first (as it were)...glopped the stuff on, and then spent the rest of
the day with stiff hair. This morning I rinsed it out, and hooray!
No green! It's actually lighter!

Now I'm thinking of getting some Cassia to "dilute" my henna when I
henna again. The peroxide is not so good for hair -- I can tell it's
thinner and weaker now -- and I'll need to henna soon.
