About Me

Last weekend, I decided my hair was in rather bad need of color. I had at least half an inch of blond showing, and my color was getting a little dull. It was time to open a new packet from mehandi.com, but when I went to grab it, I found another open bag of henna. I was pretty sure it was from a box of Light Mountain Henna, which wasn't as easy to work with, but gave good color results.

After spending about an hour in a chair with Ethan applying the unwieldy paste to my head, I noticed that my drips were kind of blue, not orange. I figured that there must be some indigo in the henna, and decided to wait for the results.

As it turns out, it was all indigo. After rinsing my hair most still looked red, but my previously blond roots were electric blue! Thankful that I had gotten the process started I mixed up my Mehandi henna and spent another hour of Ethan's time having that applied.

Four hours later, there's no visible blue. My hair might be a little darker than before, but doesn't look technicolor. I guess this is why they always say to do a strand test before coloring your whole head.
