What does a newbie need to know to color hair with henna?
First photo is my current virgin hair, second photo is a bonus of a red I did years ago (with my perfect baby boy Ron). I don’t expect the same red by any means, I’ve dyed my hair at home all sorts of colors but I’m allergic to those kinds of products now and I’m so bored with my natural color.
In my opinion one of the beauties of at-home dye jobs is that you can’t really predict what it’s going to look like in the end and from what I’ve seen on this sub it sounds like henna on hair varies quite a bit.
Can anyone recommend a good starter guide to using henna for hair? Or any tips and tricks you wish you knew before you used it for the first time?
I’d also love recommendations on cost-effective places to buy henna for hair, I’m in the US for reference!
TIA :)
