Whoop! Mixed my henna up with some lemon juice (200g) ready to do my hair tomorrow. Will be adding some amla and indigo. I am really looking forward to trying it out (although a little hesitant too). I will be putting up some before and after pictures so you can all see. (I have a new haircut too .

On January 1st I decided I wasn’t going to wash my hair with shampoo/conditioner anymore. The date I decided is merely a coincidence – this isn’t a new year resolution! I had been pondering it for some time and decided to take the dive.

For a long while I thought I wasn’t going to be able to do it because I have dyed hair (finding this hard to let go of) but from reading it seems perfectly ok. I am seriously considering growing out my dye now because I want to get rid of all chemicals, but next week am first going to try out some henna. Curiosity more than anything as I haven’t done henna properly and now I know I must try .

Anyway this is how my hair looks after baking soda/vinegar. Its the second time in the past 2 weeks I have used it and haven’t used anything else.

I am really happy with it – it feels lovely, although getting used to no smell is weird. Also the first time I used baking soda and vinegar it felt greasy but didn’t look it. This time it feels fantastic!

Hopefully I will not have to use this for very long – but once a week is all I am going to do for now.

I will update this week with the henna experiment
