Larissa's Mix
| Here is a picture of my
baby-fine, shoulder-length
hair! I am 32, pregnant with #2, and was looking for a change a
few
months ago! Having never chemically altered my hair ever, henna
was
my obvious answer for the safety of both myself, and baby on the
way!
I had mousy blonde / light brown hair pre-henna… and now, I am Irish
Setter
red in the sunlight!! I have comments all the time on my hair,
and
I will never stop with the henna! Here is how I did it, because
you
can too!!
I mixed up about 75g of MDH “body art quality” henna with bottled lemon juice. I mixed it to about toothpaste consistency, and left the paste on a hot water bottle overnight to wait for the dye to release. Next morning, I put on my rubber gloves, and slapped the paste into my hair, working it through roots to tips. Then, gathered my hair into a kind of “henna helmet” and wrapped in plastic cling film, followed by a nice warm towel. Left paste on my hair for approximately an hour, and rinsed in the tub. It is that simple! For a few days after, my hair feels quite slippery, I think because the lemon juice strips off all the oils in my hair and I live in a very dry climate. By day 3 though, my curl is back and my hair is feeling healthy, looking shiny, and has extra body (for fine hair, this is amazing!). Good luck with your henna adventures – it is really simple and fun to take control of your own beauty in a natural way! Larissa's website is: Dragonfly Designs: http://www.dragon-fly-designs.ca  |
