I am excited and tired thinking about Thanksgiving. I am excited to be off of work and chill with the hubby and friends but I am also tired because we are cooking tonight and I am going to Henna my hair! YIKES!!!!!!!! I think I can get it all accomplished without going crazy.......maybe. So the plan is to go home, take a quick nap (yeah right), put the Henna in and while it's cooking on my head I will then start to cook my Thanksgiving meal. I am anxious to put the Henna on tonight because this will be my second attempt and this time I will have it on for about 7 hours vs. 3 hours! I promise to post pictures!!! Anyway, hope you all have an awesome Turkey Day and don't get too stuffed! ;-)

Do You Henna Your Hair?



Many of you know Henna as an art that is used to tattoo. What some of you may not know is that Henna also has great benefits for your hair!! This powered substance mixed with green tea and a little honey can make your hair soft, shiny, and even give you a hint of color. It will not lift your hair color (even though if you use it constantly, it just might) but it will make healthier. I did my first Henna treatment last night and let me tell you, my hair has never been this healthy looking since I cut off my hair 2 weeks and 5 days ago (yes, I am counting)!!! Check out my fellow curly, Curly Nikki for the step by step tutorial! Pictures will be posted soon!

Panic Attack!

 

So today, I was going to Henna for the first time. I got lazy.......again and chose to go a different route. I wanted to give my hair some oomph and I knew the only way to do that was with color. My friend told me about a semi-permanent rinse called Manic Panic. I really liked it because it is vegan and has had some really good reviews. I chose the Raven color (black) and I must say.......I LOVED IT!!! The cool thing is that it has many different wild colors (perfect for Halloween) in case you want to make a statement. Ultimately it gave me the look I was going for (kinda pricey at $8.99 for a small jar) so I am a satisfied customer. Enjoy your weekend!
