Dabbling With Henna

Here's the lineup so far: top row: henna&water, henna&vinegar, henna, tea tree oil, &lemon juice

Those first two were mixed and let sit maybe a half hour before the sample wads of hair were added, they were in maybe 3 hours. The third was mixed, allowed to sit in the sun, then the hair was added and let sit 4 hours.

bottom row: all samples were mixed up last night, allowed to sit on the fridge overnight (trying to think of a warm place), then split. Tea tree oil was added to half of each and let sit another hour (oops, hour and 3/4...), then hair was put in and soaked for 4 hours. Left 2 are lemon juice, TTO on the right of those, right 2 are with vinegar, TTO again on the right.

So far, the plain vinegar is my favorite, followed by the sun lemon.

Note: no mane was injured in the making of these samples. All hair was previously shed and collected for making of the samples. All cut hair in these samples was the result of impatience to make thicker wads for first samples. As seen in the pictures, bundling thickly does not make for better coloration. Best coloration is done by massaging henna into all hair.
