I did a touch up on the henna

 

I wasn't happy with the roots.  So I got this out of the freezer (leftover henna from my last treatment).  

It looks kind of like weed, it is not.  It is, as I describe it, "Dried ground up leaves mixed with water"

I was wearing gloves because I apply it with my hands.  It's about the only time you'll see me in gloves.  Anyway I put it on my part and hairline, I had some left so I mushed it in all over the crown of my head.  Wrapped it in plastic, topped with a shower cap.  Happily I could wear my glasses as I only treated the top and front.  

It's too dark to take a photo but I'm happy with how it turned out.  I'll put up a photo tomorrow.  

Remember also it takes a few days for the color to mature.  Tonight the roots are pretty orange flavored but they'll get redder.  

If you are going to henna for a special occasion I would always suggest doing it at least a week in advance.   That's what I did with my birthday trip to see Dad, that's what I did when I correctly guessed my aunt might come to town.  

And don't forget you need to "wash" with conditioner the first 2 days and then switch back to your regular hair care routine.  

That's it for now (Saturday night)!
