: Hi =)
:
: First of all, I want to thank you all for your great tips. You gave
: me the courage to try henna.
:
: I have blonde hair with red highlights naturally, but I've always
: wanted red, red hair. So I started using permanent haircolor. I've
: never been too happy with the results. It did make my hair red, but
: the first few days, there was always a purplish tint(not flattering
: with my warm skin tones). The purple would fade away, and then so
: would my color until a month or so later it would be back to
: strawberry blonde. Once a month is too often to color, especially
: for my naturally curly, rather fragile hair. So I would have to put
: up with it for several weeks.
:
: So I decided to try henna. I read everything I could find on it. I
: ordered fresh, body art quality henna. I tested on harvested hair
: (since my hair had been colored with Colorsilk about a month before)
: and got a lovely copper color. So I mixed my henna with lemon juice
: 24 hours ahead and smooshed it on in the morning. On with the
: plastic cap and a little mob cap I made to wear over my curlers. I
: left it on about seven hours. Then I got in the shower and rinsed
: and rinsed, got out and noticed orange dripping from my hair and got
: back in and rinsed and rinsed. My hair is a lovely copper!! Not a
: hint of purple. Now I just hope it stays better.

Ooh yum! You'll find in a few days that your hair is SO soft and smooth you won't
be able to keep your hands out of it. Strong, too.
