Sheila, i'm a redhead...huge YES to henna!!!!!! Sheila, i'm a redhead in my late 30s, and have also discovered the sadness of fading to mousy not-red-anymore (along with a very fine smattering of grey). about 3 months ago, on a friend's recommendation, i tried Lush's Caca Rouge henna. if you have a Lush store near you, they'll put it on the first time and give you the tips & pointers of how it works. it's basically slathering your head with hay-smelling mud that you then cover with saran wrap for a few hours to work, then rinse and wash out... in other words, dedicate a whole day to this process. i'm 100% happy with it - this is the color my hair was in my early 20s, MY red, not a fakey bottle red. henna tints translucently rather than paints opaquely, so the natural, normal shading of for-real red hair is still there: the grey strands ended up bright pale copper, and the darker ones are darker. the softer tint also means that where my roots are growing out, it blends into the rest instead of creating a stark line. the color is fairly permanent, so after it calmed down (it was scary bright for about 4 days, then gradually settled down to my natural color - henna is known to continue "developing" for a few days after application, so i was prepared for not getting the final result for a week or so), i've had no further fading 3 months later. it's awesome.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384963114741517570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385341912889245802.post-22755584076822008462014-07-26T12:54:35.836-05:002014-07-26T12:54:35.836-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384963114741517570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385341912889245802.post-54347944547113428912014-07-14T23:16:54.314-05:002014-07-14T23:16:54.314-05:00I just posted a henna how-to on my personal blog. ...I just posted a henna how-to on my personal blog.

I have been "a woman of a certain age" for a while and I'm not doing well with the changes I see happening. How is it possible that 30 years ago was so long ago & not just yesterday like it sometimes feels?
