Henna - Natural Hair Coloring

Ok so on this past Wednesday I took a big leap of faith and dyed my hair with Henna. I wanted a reddish tint instead of the orangey color i have been wear foe close to a year.

After many hours, websites, and YouTube videos of research I just went for it.

I used the following ingredients:
-100mg of Henna
-juice of 1 lemon
-3 drops of peppermint oil
-about 2 cups of green tea

Mix all the ingredients up in a wooden bowl with a plastic spatula and made basically a mess of mud.

I let the mud sit on my hair for about 3 1/2 hours, then conditioned it out (note i said condition not shampoo).

The picture shows the before on the left and results on the right.

I am highly satisfied with my color. It cost me less than $5 to achieve. I will definitely be doing this again in a couple of months.
