drip drip drip
my son came over to henna my hair today (good son). all good. mixed it up last night with vinegar so you can imagine how it smelt. strong. we had bacon and eggs for brekky and his partner and step daughter came over too. i took my car in to get fixed as lately it's been refusing to start after i drive somewhere and park, usually when it's hot weather. last night i went to the garage up the road to fill up and it happened again. luckily (or not but that's another story) my garage fix it man is practically next door so i walked up and made an appointment for today. sooooo, i took the car up before my son came over this morning. later i rang and the car was ready so went to pick it up and thought to myself i probably should go to the shops. so i did. i had a shower hat on top of the henna and put a summer hat on top of that. well, it was a hot day today and very hot in the car. you guessed it, i started to glow (horses sweat :)) and felt a worrying drip drip drip. sure enough i had started to leak. luckily i had some tissues with me and proceeded to mop up the brown lines going down my face and neck. lots and lots of it. i didn't stay long at the shops as it was just too awful for words. funnily enough, no-one gave me a second look. when i got home i rinsed it off over the bath and then jumped in the shower to finish the process. g_d it's messy and this lot of henna was more sandy that the previous one, it was a different colour too and had more leafy stuff in it. what i have to do to stay this beautiful, it's hard work. btw, the henna is supposed to be excellent for dandruff and kills head lice. not that i had any of either you understand. anyway, it's a great colour and i'm very happy with it.

I used Henna once I can't remember how it turned out though...been dying my hair since grade 6 started going grey at 25 grrr! my Dad went completely grey at 12....weird hey? that is funny though that no one gave you a second glance! love these blogs LOL
ReplyDeletehi Shazam, (i always say that like a black brother, shazzzzzzzzzammmmmmmmmm) sorry. my two cousins went completely grey in their teens. now she's got a really nice shade of grey hair. great hair too, straight and very thick. i actually can't remember what my natural colour is. it's dark. hahahahah. henna is worth all the trouble coz the colour lasts so long and it's a great reddish colour depending on your org. colour of course.
ReplyDeleteI have never used henna, although I have put dye in my hair and popped down to the shop and had it start to drip down my back. It can be embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteyes Jo-Anne, embarrasing and uncomfortable. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the car is fixed...Always happens when it`s hot...Should be cooler this afternoon (fingers crossed)...
ReplyDeleteNever used henna either.Somehow I don`t think red would suit me...It`s been too many years now that I have dyed my hair...Tried purple once, let`s say it was VERY bright..lol
Thats nearly as bad as Lucy going to the shops without a bra!
ReplyDeleteone of our girls came to work in her slippers once. that was funny.
ReplyDeleteFran, would have to say you have a style all of your own..
ReplyDeletewell thank you Chez, i think lol :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't used henna for years but still remember that lovely earthy smell - much nicer than the chemical dyes. Messy stuff though, but it does leave your hair lovely and healthy feeling.
