I am so silly sometimes. I only have one square of my Lush henna left, and I completely forgot to get it when I went to the Lush store a few days ago in London! So I guess I won't be henna-ing much this year, unless I get the chance to order from them online or something.
In order to make my pathetic 1/4 square of the henna turn into something that I could use on my hair, I added a few extra things to it. First I grated it into a powder and made a thin liquid with it (not too thin, but thinner than most henna mixtures.) Then I added about a tablespoon of indigo powder, a tablespoon of my "henna conditioner" (it contains henna and other herbs) and a tablespoon or so of Lush Arabian Bright. I mixed all of these into the Caca Brun mixture and used that on my damp hair (henna goes better on my hair when it is damp, plus you can use less of it). I will be leaving it in overnight. Tomorrow morning, when I finish the henna procedure, I will write down my steps, and I will try and remember to take pics if I can. I wonder how this new henna mixture will turn out!
My camera is still not working. This happens every time I take the charger away from the computer! It says that the USB device is not recognized, and nothing I can do can make it change its mind. If it is still misbehaving in the morning I will see if there is anything else I can do.
I'll do a trim or S&D on August 12, my birthday
, as it is the MM date for strengthening. And I'll go wax on the 14th, the day before school, because that is one of the days for retarding hair growth. I know it may sound silly, but it seems like my hair growth really is retarded when I use these dates!
Off to sleep away my jet lag
Love,
