Thanks Tanya! I wish I had a good before pic...I don't. Basically it lightened it by several shades and added tons of red highlights. I'd say it was a deep chestnut brown with zero highlights before.
my hairdresser told me to be careful-- he said many of the commercial brands of henna have more chemicals than the "regular" dye he chooses for his clients. he mentioned something like hennessence as one example of a "bad" one.
what is in the frontier one? i know Lush makes a henna, too; i haven't checked it out yet.

Nothing but henna, the plant, is in the Frontier one. There are no chemicals in it or anything. Just the dried, powdered plant (henna is a plant). Rosemary Gladstar says Rainbow or Persian henna are good ones. I trust her.
hennaforhair.com sells a good pure henna. You're right, you shouldn't buy a brand in the store for henna - should make sure you are getting the pure stuff without any chemicals.
Kathleen, a henna party would be so much fun! Hey did you get to Maine this summer? Did I miss you? Next summer if you come, come camp on my land for some of it, and we'll do it!

No this summer we skipped Maine and came straight to Hawaii. Phew! to have made it out of Florida. Hawaii is a special place, but this move made me miss New England more than ever. Would love to come camp out on your land! I think we'll be back "home" in the not to distant future.

The color looks great. You need to get in front of the camera more.
I am confused, I did not think you could lighten your hair in any way with henna. I thouhgt you could only 'stain' your hair.
And Kat, do you mean you'll be home for a visit..or move back to the mainland?

Well both. I'll definitely visit because much of my family is still in R.I. I also think I'll land back in northern New England at some point for good. As E. Annie Proulx says, "As you get older you find the place where you started out pulls you stronger and stronger."
I also think I'll need to be closer to my mom as she gets older. She sounds a bit like your mom though, so we'll see. Tentatively I would like to see Wyatt through sixth or eighth grade here, but who knows what the future will bring. I may be too attached to leave, or some other opportunity may entice me off isle sooner.

And you?
You will have to let me know when you visit RI-that is my area.
