How I Red Henna my Hair

 I've been henna~ing my hair, on and off, for around 15 years.

The reasons for this are:

• it's very inexpensive
• I like it bright red
• I'm happy for it to be permanent
• and possibly, above all IT'S NATURAL!
  

My recipe this time was: the juice of 1 lemon, 15 drops of tea tree oil,

one packet of Henna & warm water.

Method: mix to a thick, yet spreadable consistency.

Leave to sit for an hour or three. 

Then scoop into hair (use gloves!).

Coating roots first, then working down to tips.

Cover with a shower cap and then a wrapped towel.

Leave in for as many hours as you can, (All day or night if that's do-able).
Rinse out until water runs clear.

Wash normally with your choice of shampoo & conditioner.

 Note: when I can get it fresh, I boil beetroot &

use the warm, RED water instead of clear water.

I get a much richer colour!
