As you know from many blog posts about it, I am ecstatic about henna and what it's done for me, in order of importance: the overall health of my hair and scalp, the all-natural solution, the compliments-attracting color, the independence, the low cost... so of course, for all those reasons I am forever talking it up to my girlfriends - whether they already dye their hair or not, but especially if they do. So far I have three friends who have gone with henna after my encouragement and all of them have gorgeous, lustrous, vibrant hair of various colors now!
To continue to add validity to this topic, here's the story from the latest convert: (Thanks Alicia for sharing!!)
My henna experience….
Alicia Wright of Bella Sol Spa
I have to say first and foremost, I love henna! At first, I was nervous about my hair turning red, and I was not ready to take the plunge. The grey hair that crept up on my head as my roots grew out had me frantic about solutions.
Not having the right timing with my trusted hair diva, not to mention all the time/money spent over the years, pushed me beyond my comfort zone. But I was not ready to embrace the grey, so the idea of using henna got more and more enticing. Andy’s research, experience and gentle nudge were great resources and an inspiration to go for it.
I ordered the ingredients from www.hennasooq.com for my desired hair color (recipe below), and the decision was made! Per Andy’s advice I watched various You Tube videos and found them quite entertaining! (Favorite video) This gave me the confidence and the preview of what I was in store for. When my box arrived…I was so excited to get started!
With Andy’s help and the Henna Sooq website, I was able to get a good formula for dark brown: 1 part (100 grams) henna, 1 part cassia, 1 part indigo, ¼ part amla (for curls). First I mixed the henna and let it activate for 4 hours, then mixed in the rest of the ingredients. The smells were so earthy and felt so great in my hair. It wasn’t as messy or as hard as I had expected. I actually found the process of adding henna to each strand of hair to be quite satisfying! After letting this mixture sit in my hair for 4 hours, I was intrigued with the anticipation of how henna would react with my hair.
The color was so rich and my hair felt so much thicker and healthier. I am so pleased with the results of henna, no more grey, and I'm no longer on anyone else’s time schedule. I am empowered! I love the freedom as well as the ability to inspire others to do the same! I love that henna is healthy for me and my hair, that it is practiced in the global community with ancient roots, and that there is so much more to discover. Henna is where it is at! YES!
Isn't that just awesome!!! My favorite quote of Alicia's: "that it is practiced in the global community with ancient roots!"
