I am tired of using damaging chemicals on my hair. Every time I dye my hair, I have several strands fall out plus the chemicals smell so bad! I looked around for natural hair dye and I found Henna by Rainbow. Henna is an all-natural, plant-based dye that conditions hair, is gentle and nontoxic. The process was simple: Mix Henna powder with hot water and to add extra shine an egg and Olive oil. It smells like steamed grass! I applied it to my hair then put on a cap and let it process for 60 minutes. I was in a rush so I left my pretty pink dress on and it was not pretty! The henna started drying into little balls; they fell off my hair and onto my clothes. The henna is heavy; it felt like a pile of mud on my head! 😉 It dried like mud, soft at first then it was hard and started cracking. I used the tub to wash my hair. There is a lot of product, it is hard, dry, and it takes a bit time to wash out thoroughly. The henna stained my tub a little bit but I scrubbed it and it came off. End result: I have a few gray hairs and those were completely covered! 🙂 My hair is curly and fine. The henna made my strands feel thicker, soft and so much shinier! This was a super different hair dyeing experience for me. Honestly it seemed like a bit more work, the longer processing time, extra washing and the after smell of steamed grass on your head, my head smelled for two days. Some recommendations: Henna will only work if you want a hint of color, like a tint. If you want to transform your hair color it won’t do much. After using henna you must wait four weeks to dye hair, with chemical based dyes, the henna is on your hair like a shield so the dye won’t work well with you. If you have old dye in your hair, henna will not even your hair out. Is it worth it? Yes! Thicker, fuller, shinier, healthy and bouncy hair seems like a good deal to me! 🙂 Would I do it again? Yes! I will wait 4 weeks and use a lighter shade of brown and add some lemon juice, to give my hair highlights!

For this seasons Hair and Makeup the ones I have chosen are my favorites because they all are timeless and chic. The first image is from the Alice + Olivia collection. This style is called festival lingering. I love it because it looks low key and casual chic. I love the braid look and I just found out how to get this look, I am excited to try it out!
