The smell of henna.

This doesn't count as a real tryout-post since I've used henna several times before. But I still would like to mention it.

I just LOVE the smell of henna in my hair. It smells so natural and healthy. Love it.

And to make this post slightly relevant, let's make a list of the things I like to do while using henna!

- I use 200g of henna, and 650ml of water (35 degrees) and wait 2 hrs before applying. Make sure to use enough water, I've tried 500ml once and it simply was too dry and didn't cover all of my hair.

- I never use gloves and apply it naked in my bathroom (remove rugs, towels, clothes.. it flies everywhere.) The orange dots on my body and face wash of immediately, so no worries there! My hands, however, remain orange for a day or two, maybe three. I don't care, working with gloves is annoying. 

- I used to just.. *plop* a whole bunch of henna on my head and just rub it around. Worked fine if it's liquid enough, but now I like to divide my hair into parts, and *plop and rub* it into those parts. But I really want to make sure to get all my hair covered! Good moisturized henna is easier to work with. I also put my lengths in henna, just cause it's easier, it doesn't affect the color all that much. When I'm finished I put everything on top of my head and feel like a Royal Queen for some reason :') After wrapping plastic on it, putting a hat on and hop into the shower to get all of that flying henna of my body, the waiting begins.

- After 5 hrs of hanging on the couch, the best moment has come! I love rinsing henna! It's great to see my feet disappear in this orange shower-sea! :D I might take a photo of it someday. It's so pretty, I also love how the orange water is everywhere on me, and it smells pretty great :) 

- Don't try to get it all out!!  Really, there's no need to spend 2 bottles of conditioner and a whole week of watersupply to get all those tiiiiiny hennapieces out. I just rinse until my hair doesn't feel that thick anymore, use conditioner/shampoo/shampoo/conditioner. And that's it. I leave the shower with a lot of thingies left in my hair. I use my blowdryer, and just let it aaaall fall out, and get the vaccuum-cleaner et voila. Then I tend to go for a walk with my dog to get all last bits out outside, and not in every corner of my house.. 

- Next step: Enjooooy the smell ^.^
