Awesomeness. Thanks for letting me know. I love henna on my chestnut hair. It just looks sooooo nice.

It's pure Henna. I mix with water and a little lemon juice. And yes, I can do just the roots, BUT it tends to get messy and quite a bit of rinsing is still required. I guess I'm worried the rinsing with rinse out the dreads too...

I've been using pure henna (from 'Henna for Hair') for years. Now that I have started the dreading process, should I go ahead with my usual henna schedule (every 4-6 weeks) or should I wait? I'm addicted to henna so waiting would be a test of m y patience. LOL. Henna does tend to knot up my hair, BUT it also has to be rinsed thoroughly.

Glad I got them out! It's actually quite a relief to let go and just let the hair do it's thing. It's only shoulder length, so... not sure the knots I have now will last at all. Hopefully in the next year I will have something more permanent happening.

I know. I know. Why was I stupid enough to cut off my identity, and then torture what was left of it? I feel like I've been 'abused'. Sigh...

Hey, I just joined the forum yesterday. Soaring eagle checked in with me shortly after, which was really nice. Afterwards I had to take out my rubber bands, since he said I needed to set those puppies free. It took two hours because they were tangled up in my week old locks. BUT I eventually got them out.
Ironically, I used to have butt long hair, but I gave in and cut it because I could no longer deal with maintaining it and raising three children at the same time. Biggest. Mistake Ever. Now I'm growing my hair back out with no maintenance (well, not much anyway). I'm still scarred by the loss of my hair... But it WILL grow back, and like my dad always says, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" LOL

I'm totally loving that pic with the brushed out ends. OK, so that has nothing to do with discussion, but they are really cool.
