I'm not used to flaunting, I don't feel like I have anything to flaunt and even though I had it wouldn't be a nice thing to do. But I give credit where it's due. And in this case (for cupcakes sake!!!) I do know stuff about henna and hair. One hundred and ten centimeters long stuff. By the way, it's about 10 years I play with henna, last 6 in a consistent way. Thus, I've finally decided to snap pictures of the procedure and explain you how to do it, if you have no clue, or how I do it, if you're the experimental kind of girl. In time I've tried a bit of this and that, lawsonia with some curcuma, infusions of this and that, oils, acid things and oxidating times. I've decided that I like some sort of cherry red, and since I start from a dark ash brown (or so it seems) -plus, if you're familiar with Fia's hairtyping system I'm 1aMiii :) - my recipe is now this: -2hg "strong henna" (lawsonia with a very small percentage of sodium picramate, wich is a coluring and colour fixative salt) -
