Henna

My first henna experience was both great and not so great. The mixing application process was easy (without any spills....yeahhhh!!) but the removal was torturous. I think I spent a total of 3 hours in the shower trying to wash it off and get rid of the henna plant pieces stuck in my hair.

1st henna application

 Henna Recipe
100g Henna for African Hair
Lemon Juice
2 Green Tea Tea Bags

Despite looking like a withered raisin, I like the way my hair turned out. There is extra shine and a faint auburn tint in the sunlight. I love it. I must say though that my scalp is itchy in some spots. I think it's the lemon juice. I'll leave it out next time.

 This weekend I plan to use a different brand - Jamila. From the numerous hair reviews, there is no henna residue and it washes out easily. Too bad the product may have a high content of pesticides and contaminants. So after I am through with this batch, I think I will switch to Rajasthani Twilight.
