Well, it's on now. I used 100g of henna from Catherine and mixedthat with lemon juice until it seemed like the right consistancy.
Then I threw in some cloves to improve the smell. I let that sit
overnight and then added some more water to get the right consistancy
for application. I applied it in my shower to make mess clean up
easier. It looked like I had a major craptastic event in the shower
after I had it applied. I think 100g was more than enough for my
hair but I put it all on anyway. I discovered I was out of cling
wrap to wrap my head with so I used a plastic grocery sack which
worked fine and fit well. I'm pretty sure I am going to have orange
ears even though I did my beast to not get the henna on them and
wiped it off quickly. Please tell me it will fade fast! I'm a
little worried about that. My head felt cool and tingly about 10
minutes after I put the henna on. Now it is warm and tingly because
I wrapped my head in a warm towel. It's not a burning but a very
nice tingly scalp feeling.I did dribble on my body and didn't get it
wiped off soon enough so I have some orange blotches on my chest,
shoulders and back. I think next time this is going to be a two
person job.
Now, I sit and wait!
