Late night Henna

You may be wondering what I'm still doing awake at nearly midnight.

No, it's not a round of hearty partying. I'm henna-ing my hair. Of course, since I'm not one to start anything at a reasonable hour, I'm still waiting for it to do its magic at a quarter to 12. I decided to leave it on for two hours.

This isn't the first time I've henna-ed my hair, but it is the first time I've gone all red.

When I first did it last year, I chickened out and used Lush's Marron henna, sort of a brownish red. Of course, since my hair is black, all I got were some reddish-brown tints that were barely noticible.

I'm sure that's all I'll get this time, except it'll be straight-up reddish tints. Which is fine by me. I'm excited to see it. Plus I love the way Lush's henna smells, but I may be in the minority there.

I meant to take a picture of my hair pre-henna, but of course I didn't think of that until just now. I'll put up a post-henna pic tomorrow.

Wish me luck!
