I'm just excited that my hair is that long, and I finaly found a viable way of
measuring it..... Yes, it's to my hips. I usualy say it's 'below my waist' but duh,
so are my hips. 8-) And saying it's to my butt just isn't polite.
My younger sis (lelia!) helps with the hennaing, and I think with out her I could
not do it. I also have uber thin hair. Yah, 70 grams of henna for all of my hair-
that's THIN.
Another trick is to wash out the henna with conditioner. It all gets smooth and
the henna just slides right out! I find I have to wash again before applying
indigo but a small price to pay.... 8-)
And to rinse, I tried the whole lean over the bathtub thing ONCE. Then I
stripped down and jumped in to the shower. Saved the neck.
(Good to meet another long hair henna diva!)
: I'm trying to be consistent with this chart (which is why I get
: grouchy when someone suddenly introduces a whole new system for
: measuring, such as "3 heaping ice cream scoops full"). The system for
: long hair is where it reaches on your body. Was I right in saying
: it's down to your hips? Mine is too: how on earth do you manage the
: hassle of hennaing and then indigoing? I lasted two years of hennaing
: alone, then gave up! Mind you, I'm disabled which makes it harder,
: and I didn't know some of the clever tricks such as washing it off in
: the bath.
