Nightshade from Nightblooming on Etsy whipped up a custom batch of henna for me and I applied it last night.
I was seriously stressed about dye release, having never really hennaed before. I kept checking the color in the back of my hand. When the color didn't seem to get any darker, I took the plunge.
The color is absolutely perfect and really compliments my skin. I didn't realize how much my hair blended with my skin tone until I saw the red. The contrast is really lovely.
Please don't mind my ends. They really don't look as bad as they do in the photos. I've been trimming rather randomly, so the ends are thinner than usual.
I also purchased these pretty combs to tuck into my buns:
In related news, the pictures make me wonder if I've wandered into "Can I call this classic?" length.

ReplyDeleteRed is hard to keep up so be sure to use non-sulfate shampoos and stuff.
