Hi Kim!
Thanks for the thawing info.
I am interested to hear you say that about the fading as you are a
curly girl also... I keep blaming my extremely porous curly hair for
the colour loss I notice ( assuming the colour maybe leaches out of
very porous hair???) which particularly bugs me in the first week
after I henna. I kept wondering all along if it was just the
oxidisation thing, but after just doing my 4th time, this time I am
SURE that the colour on day one is much deeper and darker than it is
after a few days oxidisation...doesn't make sense to me. Oh well.
Good to hear from you -- have you done your hair more times since we
last saw you here?
