Hello all! I'm not sure if anyone from here recognizes my name from
June, but I thought I'd drop in and give a little progress update.

You may recall after I hennaed my hair was this fiery bright orange
red. Over the months I've hennaed quite a few times and am pleased
to say the color deepened quite a bit, with orangey highlights. It's
wonderful. I get great conditioning and volume right after a henna.

I've also been using pectin in my recipe lately. I must say that I
think I'm doing something wrong because my end mixture doesn't seem
anything like the description on this site of the pectin mixes. It's
not like a gel at all, nor is it brown in color. If I am making some
error my hair doesn't know it; I still get beautiful color out of
the henna, the pectin mixture just stretches the powder so much
further. I can do my entire head with less than 100 grams now, and
my hair reaches the crook of my arm. (Of course, my hair is quite
fine and I don't really engulf every strand of hair with the henna,
I mostly focus on the roots.)

After I henna my hair is very fiery and bright with noticeable
orange highlights, then as the weeks pass it slowly fades into the
brassy red I sport until regrowth is to a point where I do it again!
I even like how it makes my hair smell.

I love henna! Wheee! Thanks everyone who helped me in my first weeks
and during the testing phase. I get so many compliments every day
about my hair. It's all on you!
