Henna for Hair

Meredith's Mix
Meredith

I did it! I started off an ucky dishwater blonde that which has steadily become darker after I had my first child.

The last time I dyed my hair was 13 months ago; the dye didn't even last 2 weeks. I had tried (tested) henna before and it added a very khaki like green tinge to my hair. After revisiting this site I decided to try it again, but with body art quality henna. Success!!!

My hair is almost down to my bra strap, but really thick, so I used 200g of henna powder and 2 cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice. I left the witches brew out on my counter all night and applied it immediately after putting my boys on the bus. I made a Saran Wrap turban and puttered around the house for 3 hours, than I took a long hot soak in the tub for an hour. I rinsed it out and viola; beautiful red hair! It has since darkened since I took the picture. The picture was taken the same afternoon.
