Why My Hair is Differnet Colors All the Time… (the magic of henna)

Lets face it: I have crazy hair!
I was bald until I was about 3 and when it finally came in, it was blond with little cute curls at the end. As I got older, it got darker and lost the curls. Until I was about 13… when the curls came back with vengeance! Now my hair has a mind of it’s own!
The best thing I have ever done to help tame the wild beast is HENNA !! Henna is an all-natural plant-based way to color your hair. PLUS, it totally makes your locks stronger, thicker and healthier!
Now, there are tons of products on the market but I did some heavy research (it is my HAIR, after all!) and found the best reviews were for the Light Mountain brand. I found it cheap at Whole Foods and decided to try BRIGHT RED. There is a handy chart on the back of the packages (or on their website) that helps you figure out what you will end up with. My mum seems to LOVE being a ginger so I figured why not? Plus, henna is temporary so if I hated it I wasn’t stuck forever. And who likes to be stuck? Not me!
Henna is super easy to use (although kind of messy as you can see from this delightful photo) FAST! The whole process only takes a couple hours so I can watch an episode or two of Pretty Little Lairs and viola- change my hair color!
My little piece of advice is to have a friend (or your mom if she rocks like mine!) help and follow the directions exactly! And take before and after photos (and even a “during” if you are brave like me!) to show ME!
Have fun!
