Okay. I can live with that. I was afraid I'd be all pure and disgrace myself. How horrible! Especially since I just finished coloring my hair red and feel like I should get the most bang for the buck. So to speak. Oh, and since I use henna instead of chemical dye, the hair won't be flashy orange next time you see me, but a darker richer brown with bright red "highlights." Yeah, that's the ticket. Highlights.

I've been busy this morning and have been working on my closet and such, cleaning out stuff that's too big, too old and too tacky. If it's just too big, like jeans, I'm probably too paranoid to get rid of it and just folded it on the top shelf. If it's really old and tacky, though, it's going to get donated this afternoon, along with the gaudy strawberry plates my mom gave me. Hey, I like strawberries on my plate alright, but the real kind I can eat off the plate, not the painted on kind. Anyway, Miranda discovered the joy of leaping onto the sweater shelf while I was sorting it and there was no stopping her. And (I suppose) non-cat lovers wonder why I have little pulls all over my sweaters. It's not as if I don't pick them up after I get dressed to go out, but them leaping onto the sweater shelf from afar and clutching to hang on doesn't help either.

Oh, and the pic is of Carmen.

I'd better keep moving or I won't get anything else sorted to go to the goodwill place. Ta!

So where do you buy your henna, and what "mix" do you use? I've been pondering going that route myself, but there's so little agreement on "what should be included in the mix" that I haven't got the guts yet... I'm thinking I might take the leap with a henna/coffee/clove mix (I want dark red/brown, not really "red").

Mix? Yer supposed ta mix it? I use the stuff from Whole foods pretty much straight out of the jar. It comes in lots of different colors; just pick out which one you want. I like it.

Hmm, might have to go look at that. The sites I was looking at were all very "granola-y", ie, get pure henna, add other stuff to it, then add lemon juice and such and put on your hair. ::shrug:: the straight out of a jar idea sounds much more appealing, in that "not making your hair look odd" way... though the idea of "make your own" is also appealing...

Hmm. I've been using it for years-- does my hair look odd? Depending on which color I've used, of course. *lol* I had a hair dresser once use the clear version as a conditioner, BTW.

No, actually, the fact you've been using it for years is a good sign :-). I've just been the victim of a few very BAD do-it-yourself hair dye jobs...
