Hello Katherine :) I am new here too. This is a great site and as you
can see a lot of good advice. I did the same as you and cleared out
all the chemical hair colors out of my cupboard (well Im still
hanging on to the bleach and sun-in at this point just in case) but
dont think I will go back. Like you I am growing out my hair but have
much further to go than you do. In march it was in a boy cut, now its
just starting to look somthing other than extremely short. There is
no comparison between naturally colored hair and chemically colored.
the chemical looks dead and well chemically colored, especially after
a while yuk. and you have only to look at the technique section on
this site to see the difference. I have never seen so much lush shiny
healthy red hair in all my life!:) Well just wanted to say hi and
welcome. Happy henna-ing.
