COMPLETE HEAD OF HENNA

In the picture above, I have just applied the henna. Notice the length here partly caused by the weight of the henna.
This is 2 hours later. Length here is beginning to shrink.

In this shot it had been in for 3.5 hours. Oh dear more shrinkage.

At last, all rinsed and shampooed after a total of 3 hours 45 mins.

This is a shot from the rear left side.

This is a shot from the rear right side.

And here is a shot from the top...this is the first half I coloured last Saturday.
So all you ladies with grey hair listen up...you've got to give 'Lush Henna' a go. I love the fact that my grey is the reason why the colour takes so well, I also like the fact that it adds a sheen to where I don't have so much grey and that the colour isn't uniform (which stays true the natural formation of how the grey is dispersed on my head)
Yes its all new and I am excited about the result, I am hoping this is going to be a long and fruitful relationship with henna and I can stop fretting about what is best for me.
The best bit of all this....IT IS CHEMICAL FREE....YAY!!!!!

HENNA COLOUR

Okay people I finally succumbed to colouring my hair with the above Lush's Caca Marron (reddish brown)......
Well at least front half of it anyways. From the picture above you can see the stark contrast and the effect of the reddish brown on the caramel blonde. Overall I was very impressed with the colour and as I mentioned in a previous post, the colour continued to develop even after I rinsed and shampooed. I liked it then and I like it now. Why only do half???? I figured if there is major slippage, I will only have half to repair.......

As it turns out, there was no slippage!!
Imagine my locks with a subtle sheen!!! I don't use any products on my scalp other than spritzing with water to style each morning and occasionally rubbing some of my consultants home made scalp oil in areas that need it most.
I have decided that later today I will colour the back and be done with colour for a few weeks....
So what do you think?

NOTE WELL

Remember folks that am still only in my 5th month and before colouring I was certain all will go smoothly.....you need to know your hair before colouring and or before your consultant has given you the go ahead!!
