Real People, Real Henna: "Amari"





Amari's henna color oxidizing after applying henna

I used 100 grams of Ancient Sunrise henna and a mildly acidic mix.

I mixed this up and let it set for 18 hours and applied the next morning. I left it on for a total of 6 hours.

My beginning color was dark blonde with some highlights.

I absolutely love it!
