Head is remarkably more orange again.
The little Greek shop had run out of 500g bags of red henna, but they had a new batch of ordinary hand henna, so I got five packets of that and blimey! Their usual stuff isn't bad, but the stuff I got was as good as henna can get--it was a brand I hadn't tried before, and of course I've forgotten its name now. The stain is incredible, and even the bits of skin that accidentally got stained for a few minutes are still orange. Impressive. The stuff they sell in bigger bags is good enough to use on hands and gives a good enough stain (for the 40-45 minutes I leave it on while sitting in a heated sauna, don't try this if not certified insane like yours truly), but it seems I'd forgotten how orange things can really get. I blow my nose at you, early greying/lightening, for the ginger WINS over such things.
So, yes,
Irn-Bru head. And it also feels so damn conditioned it's not true. GOOD HAIR DAY, DAMN IT.
Ooh, "Zarqa", it was called. Pakistani bridal henna. Kickarse.
