rootofnewtso, i've got henna on my hair. i'll wash it out around 8:30-9. then i shall dress, we shall hit ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
krues8dr's housewarming, then the dawning.
boy's making some dinner. i wonder if he'll kill me when i ask him to go out and pick up a few things after his shower.
i've gotten very quick at hennaing my hair. i can generally use my bare hands and do it quickly enough that they don't get stained.
well, today, i decided to use tea tree oil in the mix, under the belief that it actually helps the dye compound release better.
um.
my hands... they're going to be orange-red for awhile. i can scrub them with peroxide and toothpaste and they might lighten. ooof.
i wonder what color my hair will turn out... i've been edging toward darker henna shades... this one is 2/3 mahogany, 1/3 red. the color henna produces depends on several factors, but one of which happens to be the climate/soil in which it grows... so there are hennas which don't actually deposit color, some which go more orange, some which go more brown... i don't buy my henna from a mehndi source like Kenzi or CastleArt... i just buy in bulk from the health food store and it's probably one of the major brands... i just make sure it's fresh looking and smelling.
so, for those who wonder... i'll smell like hay/tea/cloves tonight because i just covered my hair in paste resembling nothing so much as baby poop.
