Introduction

Hello and welcome to my blog.

As you might have guessed, I love henna. I can often be found hennaing my hair and I try to get the brightest, proper red possible. A lot of people have been asking me for advice and help about henna, what sort to buy, what is the ideal mix etc etc that I wanted to share my knowledge, successes (and failures!) with interested folks.

I was looking for a product that would give me a lovely rich red, that was free of nasty chemicals and not tested on animals. Henna for me, fitted the bill. I started with lush caca but I got failure after failure. The quality isn't brilliant and it is a nightmare to wash out. It is very gritty and greasy, not nice at all. This started me on my henna search. My current favorite is Jamilla from 2008. It is very close to the rolls royce of henna. It is so smooth and beautiful to use its like icing sugar, it washes out a treat and gives such lovely results. I will be posting pictures of my hair and of the stages of making the goop. I hope you find it useful and please please add comments and questions

Happy Hennaring!!
