henna
Well I hennaed my hair tonight. I put it on a little after 6pm and washed it out at 9pm. My scalp right around the hairline was starting to get itchy which is the point where I started to think about washing it out last time. Last time I did leave it on longer, probably about 4 - 6 hours. not 100% sure.
I applied it about the same as I did last time. just scooping it out of the bucket I mixed it in directly onto my hair. I mostly focused on the roots/hairline but still gooping some on the rest of it. I only used one box this time and still got pretty good coverage. I thought about mixing some conditioner in it for the part to cover the rest of my hair, but by the time I was there I didn't want to mess with it.
I played a little with some henna on skin. But didn't want to worry about it so wiped it off fairly quickly. Also I hadn't really read about henna on skin and how to best do it and stuff. Also since I didn't have it in an applicator it was very messy looking and stuff.
Another thing I changed this time in my mix, is I didn't use any water. I used all lemon juice.
As of right now, about an hour and a half after rinsing it out, while my roots aren't as noticeable as they were before re-hennaing, they still are very much a different color. Much more copper and not so much red as the rest of my hair is. We'll see what happens.
