The Results Are In

Well after 4 1/2 hours sweating it out under the shower cap I jumped in the shower. It was quite literally like someone had gotten a bucket full of sand and emptied it on the floor of the shower! It took some rinsing but as it came out my hair felt amazing. Finally I gave it a quick wash with my Godiva shampoo bar (also from lush), dried it and hers what we have:




I think its great - maybe not as dramatic as I would have liked believe it or not but definitely a great start - next time - redder! Oh and my hair feels great too :)

Total Lush

Ok..I confess...I bought some more Lush products. I love their Angels on Bare Skin and thought I needed some more products. Some of the gals at Crafty Mamas were talking about the henna hair dye and I thought why not!

I bought a block of the henna Caca Marron - see here - and this is the blurb:

Description:
Washing off the Caca Marron and waiting for your hair to dry to see what it looks like is almost as exciting as waiting for the postie on your birthday. The combination of red and black hennas and ground coffee, spiced with clove bud oil, gives your hair the dark red glow of conkers fresh from the horse chestnut tree. Marron is French for chestnut, by the way, hence the name.

I cant wait to see how it turns out....

Here are some pictures of the process

Mixing it on the stove


Me now with a showercap and glad wrap on my head for the next 5-6 hours!


It smells and feels like the coffee you wash out of the filter bags from your machine...I hope it looks good - I didnt strand test - m living on the edge!
