Putting Henna in my hair

This entry started out as a comment in Keltie’s blog, but I’ve decided to post it here instead, hoping for some opinions from others.

I’m thinking of putting some Henna into my hair. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I have some red hairs in my beard, and I’ve always wondered what my hair would look like with some red in it too.

The nice thing about Henna is that it is a natural dye, it has several properties that make it actually good for your head (both hair and scalp). Henna has a long and varied history. Henna applied to skin as temporary tattoo has been around for a long time. May and Dan held a Henna Party before their wedding. Medicinal benefits have been attributed to Henna.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking of doing this for a long time.

In reply to Keltie’s blog entry of today, I’m not really thinking of doing this to cover my burgeoning crop of white hairs. (I’m not too concerned about my white hairs from the point of view of aesthetics, I think white hairs can be cool and groovy. I only hope that if my hair goes white it actually becomes fairly light grey. I don’t like the dirty-grey-and-black colour that much.) However, I do think that having the white hairs will coolify the Henna experience… I think it will be cool to have some super-red hairs in and amongst the brownish-red ones.

	Oh, you're killing me, here! I have to agree with you on the white hairs aspect of it. I want to have those bright hairs in there too, but I'm going to be putting the henna in my hair about once a month so they won't be as super-bright for me, likely. And I do think that if you henna your hair, Andrew will cave and do his too. Peer pressure can be a wonderful thing!
