Yes! It came, it came! My henna mail came!
I mixed it up
tonight. 20g henna, 3 T lemon juice, 20g table sugar, and about 8 drops
tea tree oil. (I only meant to use 6 or 7 drops, but it just dripped so
fast…) Mash it all up in a ziploc baggie, put it in the fridge on a
paper towel, and hopefully I won’t have dye release until tomorrow
afternoon. Then I can henna all night long — yay!
This is
perfect. If I did everything right, then the design will be fully
oxidized in all its glory just in time for the rib cookoff in Reno.
I hope my essential oils come in the mail tomorrow. They smell nice. If
they don’t, I’m probably going to add ground clove and allspice to the
mix so it doesn’t smell like a moldy lemonade stand, lol. Which reminds
me — I need to get manly-smelling essential oils. I only got
girly-smelling ones.
Stay tuned for photos. And look out,
because after this… I’m planning on doing my hair! (Cue supervillian,
end-of-the-world chuckling.)
